Reflecting on 2021: A Year of Growth, Change, + Amazing Clients!

WOW y’all, 2021 was an incredible year!! I seriously cannot believe it’s almost over already – where did the time go?! 

This was an amazing year in so many ways for me & my fam, both in my business and my personal life. I became a mother to the cutest little boy in the entire world, Revan, and having him changed my life! Bringing him into the world made me run my business in a TOTALLY different way.

I feel like I’ve become more creative, more intentional – with my photos, my clients, and my TIME. I’m seeing things from a whole new perspective and really have started to prioritize my family more than ever when making decisions for my business.

My husband Dusty also became a stay-at-home dad, which has been so incredible for both of us!! It’s allowed me to take a HUGE step in my business and be able to go more full throttle with everything I do. I’ve booked so many amazing opportunities this past year with incredible clients who fully trusted me to pick locations, guide them, & helpfully curate + be a part of their day.

I’ve also been able to add on business coaching, which has been so so amazing y’all!! I’ve been getting to know other photographers while also doing my own photographer, and it’s been SUCH a cool experience getting to witness how they see the world. And it’s been such a huge honor getting to help them thrive & to cheer them on every step of the way!!

Heading into 2022, I’m so excited to see how the educational side of my business grows, and to see how my creativity grows too! I’ve got some amazing elopement opportunities coming up next year on the west coast and hopefully Europe, and am just so beyond stoked for every single one. I can’t wait to continue to grow as a parent, a wife, & a friend, and to see how my life experiences help me photograph others’ life experiences! 

Below, I’ve included a photo from every single session, elopement, & wedding I photographed in 2021 to show off all the amazing clients I got to work with!! Have fun looking through all the epic locations & beautiful humans!

 

2022, I’m ready for you!!
