a simple thank you!

Today is the last day of 2015 - whew!  I can't believe it.  Growing up I always heard, "time flies as you get older".  Boy, do I believe it too!  I've also heard before that what you are doing on January 1st is what you will be doing for the whole year.  In that case, this year for me has been so very true to that statement.  On January 1st, 2015, I spent my day cleaning, watching a Little Women (seriously - addicted to that show now, ha!) marathon, & photographing a little girls birthday party!  I've been hooked to watching Little Women ever since (ha!), but more importantly I have dove into photography more this year.  I have been so honored to be asked by so many people this year & very blessed.

In 2015, I photographed countless families, two birthday parties, newborns, engagement sessions, two weddings (eeeek!), & hosted a day of mini sessions.  Each session I learned something, gained more knowledge on what I would or wouldn't want to do, but most of all - I grew.  I haven't been doing this that long (I know I have a ways to go & more to learn), but it is awesome for me to look back on the first sessions I did & compare them to now.  

So to everyone that allowed me to stand behind the camera while you smiled your pretty little smiles in front of it, THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  Without you I wouldn't be where I am right now.  Without you I wouldn't be able to have the opportunity to use my creativity on a larger spectrum.  Without you I wouldn't have been able to become more confident in what I am doing.  Without you I wouldn't have been able to grow this year!  

In 2016, I already have family sessions scheduled & two weddings booked!  I absolutely can not wait to see what else God & 2016 have in store for me & my little business!
