2025. I’m so grateful. I went into this year with the intention of growth and change and in so many ways I think I exceeded that goal.
I’ve found beauty lies often within the imperfect. Creativity doesn’t happen searching for perfection.
I pushed myself to walk alone into rooms I felt like I didn’t belong in and forced myself out of hiding in the corners. Meeting the most wonderful of people.
I started 2025 feeling scared and lost, and now I’m going into the new year more confident in the vision for my business, knowing the work I want and am capable of producing.
I will never pretend I was able to magically do this on my own. So I absolutely want to end this year expressing the utmost gratitude. This may seem like an award acceptance speech, it’s not- I just feel it’s important to express thanks to those whom impacted you!
My family(Kenny, Beckett & Arden)- as wedding & creative professionals- we know this isn’t possible without their support, grace and sacrifice.
All of you that gave me an opportunity to photograph the most important moments and people in your life. I’ve spent hours looking through your photos and they often have me smiling, laughing and crying. Our time together means more than you’ll know.
, you beautiful soul. I’ve learned so much from you this year. Truly- you’ve made some of the hardest things now easy. You’ve been so incredibly supportive and gracious and helpful. I’ll forever be grateful.
( & ) for putting together your incredible events. I’ve learned so much in general and so much about myself at these events and met incredible people. Your endless encouragement is the cherry on top.
for including me in the women’s group. It’s helped me achieve goals and held me accountable and made me feel included and seen in an industry that is massive.
, , for allowing me alongside you this year. The kindness & encouragement was everything.
for your knowledge and love. for always being my sounding board.
Cheers to 2026 🥂
