2011. It came so quickly and is on it’s way out even quicker, leaving me just enough time to reflect. 2011 brought love, mistakes, triumphs and questions. It brought sleepless nights and many is this real life? squeals. It forced me to step out of my comfort zone and helped build my continued faith in love. It’s because of your love that I get to share life’s most beautiful moments. I weeded through all the photographs I have taken, personal and professional, over the last 12 months. My mind is filled with the scattered memories but I needed to see and feel where I’ve been. Photograph after photograph, I teared up. I remembered how it felt when you walked down the aisle. How moving his words were when he vowed his life to you. How your bridesmaids weeped with happiness as you two shared your first dance. I’m truly humbled and forever grateful to be included in your moments. Here’s to many more in 2012!
In no particular order, here are some of my favorite 2011 photos. Click here to see more.
