I honestly have the best clients in the world. 2012 was an amazing year-I can’t believe I got to do so much and meet so many new clients. When I started this journey I never expected to be here, in a place where I get to do something amazing for a living, and I totally owe it to all of you.
This is going to be a gargantuan post, epic I tell ya…grab some coffee and get cozy…I have chosen an image from every single baby, family, couple, wedding, and anything else (besides family stuff or we’d be here for years) I had the honor of photographing this year. I wasn’t able to blog each one but I sure did try. If it was blogged I put a link to the blog post so you could see all my favorite images from that session.
Don’t forget to Pin your favorites on Pinterest 😉
My first session of the year was so touching for me…Luke and Kristin (their wedding) were a bride and groom of mine that drove their Ella all the way down from Atlanta for me to do her newborn session…What a doll! (HERE is more of her newborn session)
Next I got to photograph my first baby shower (as well as their maternity session)…unfortunately they moved before I had the chance to photograph baby Bryson 🙁
Then a trip to New Orleans for a Keri Meyers workshop while also doing Tania and Josh’s engagement. They later got married at Destin Bay House (those will be further down) and it was gorg!

Kim and her family were in from Louisiana and she is also a photographer! It is sooooo nerve wracking to photograph another photographer and their family 😉 She was a sweetheart, though, and picked an amazing wardrobe that ended up meshing perfectly with the colors of the sky & beach that day. The rest are HERE!
