Best family, baby, wedding, engagement, pregnancy {& some lifestyle} photography of 2013. What a grateful year for so many reasons!

When creating the “best – of” spread, I couldn’t help but feel VERY thankful for so many reasons in my career. Each client that I had the honor of photographing this year, picked me. They chose me to create tangible keepsakes for their family – For their family to pass down from generation to generation. Some are lifelong friends, some are 2^nd, 3^rd and even 4^th returning clients, and some are new; and for that, my heart melts and I am grateful.  Very grateful.

I chose this path to build this business because it is my passion. I still get nervous before each photo shoot {Weddings more than portrait sessions, for obvious reasons}. I still meticulously prep an hour or two before each photo shoot. That attention-to-detail involves cleaning my lenses, my camera, my camera bag, visualizing what to do with the family, kid or bride. I get my Americano coffee, my water and my walnuts and energy bar. And, I’m off.  I think this routine works pretty great, right?

Thank you to each and every one of you that trusted in me and my passion. Again, and again. I am so honored to be your go-to-gal for your joyous memories. Hope to see you in 2014 and beyond! xoxo, Patty
