Every year I feel so silly writing these but then, without fail as time passes, I am so glad that I did. I don’t want to forget a single trip, a single wedding or a single year that I get to live out my dream as an entrepreneur. For my ninth season as a wedding photographer, I captured 29 weddings: still an incredibly high volume for one gal but my lowest in YEARS which felt incredible. Abby shot 15 under my brand and we’re being even more selective for 2025. I traveled to some amazing destinations- Thailand, PA, TX, FL twice, Italy, Turkey, Washington, Chicago, Marthas Vineyard, CO, NYC thrice, France, and Savannah- and shared some incredible experiences including two WIPA galas, a girls trip to Palm Beach & Savannah, teaching at Hybrid, leading 3 AMV retreats, and shooting a brand campaign for The Knot ALL WHILE GROWING A BABY! I adored every single one of my clients/weddings and felt a new balance even during busy season that made me feel at peace. 

A big thread to this year was our intention around family building. The first half of the year was met with uncertainty, doctor’s appointments & disappointments. On Father’s Day, we were both surprised with the news that we would become a crew of three. To my ABSOLUTE JOY, I’ve had a pretty seamless pregnancy. A little food poisoning in Istanbul early on and some minor nausea and exhaustion for a few weeks before I was right as rain and able to shoot 18 weddings while expecting! I enjoyed shocking the hell out of my friends and family when telling them in person. I loved creating a nursery and throwing my own baby shower but the thing I’ve loved the most is seeing Ben’s excitement the last 8 months. I’m terrified for my life to change (since I feel very complete already & have very intentionally built a dream scenario for our existing family of two). And while I have also never pictured myself as a mother, I know I have the absolute best partner for this next chapter. I’m excited to see things evolve in 2025 and want to take a quick second below, as always, to thank the clients that make my dream life possible. I promise to continue excellent artistry, overflowing passion and exceptional service into my years as a photographer to come.
