I love my job. LOVE it! I have the opportunity to express my creativity and work with clients who inspire and encourage me. I get to travel to exotic places, and I get to see my work featured in print. God has been to good to me this year, and I couldn’t be more thankful to Him for all that He has done in and through me. The following are pages from I Do for Brides magazine’s Fall 2009 issue which features a collection of my images. The first spread is a cake feature which includes images from several weddings I shot in 2008 and 2009, including Edoardo and Christy, Jonathan and Lora, Chris and Danielle, Tj and Libby, Eric and Shannon, Ed and Amanda, Michael and Elizabeth, Matt and Lisa, Shane and Emily, and Ian and Jenna.

The second spread is a feature on the Governor’s House, where I photographed Amy and Gino’s wedding last summer.

2009 was quite an adventure, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what 2010 holds!

Quick! Quick! Someone pinch me. Am I dreaming? NOPE! Those are my images IN PRINT! Woohoo! OK, give me a moment to regain my professional composure… Alright, I’m ready to behave like an adult. I just can’t help it. I’m so excited to share this news with all of you! In January 2009 I laid out a set of goals that I wanted to achieve this year, and I am so thankful that the Lord chose to bring this goal to life. Both of these images are from Kevin and Christine’s wedding that I shot in June of this year. Thanks to Christine for providing the scans!

This year has been such an incredible adventure! I graduated from college, photographed weddings in Mexico, Canada and all over the Southeast, I was published for the first time (pictures coming soon), and I got to work with some of the most AMAZING clients the wedding world has ever seen. I feel so blessed to have such a great job, and I’m so thankful to all of my clients for helping me live my dream.

Speaking of living the dream, my 2009 wedding season has come to a close, and the next wedding I’ll have pictures to post from will be MINE! I’m getting married in March, and my 2010 season doesn’t start until April, so you’ll be seeing a lot of personal posts here for the next few months. I’m excited to spend this time finding new inspiration for my business, connecting with new clients, and OF COURSE starting a new life with my beloved soon-to-be husband. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for the future! Until then, here are a few of my favorite photos from the last year.
