Best of 2013

This year was anything but what I expected it to be.

I was planning on taking the summer off due to maternity leave since having my third baby in May, but an unexpected move to my hometown, Rockport, Texas threw us all through a loop. I am beyond blessed to have such a solid client base in Fort Worth that I am able to plan several trips a year there, but am elated over shooting on the beautiful coast. In no particular order, here are my very favorites of 2013

2013 gave me some of the most loyal and beautiful (inside and out) clients, 8 national (5 international) publications (including three covers!) and a deeper understanding and love of my camera and lens. After years of searching, I believe I've finally come into my style and identity as a photographer and am able to produce the images that I see in my head. It's an extraordinary thing.

I won't pretend to know what 2014 has in store for me, my business, or my family, but I have some big plans.

Happy New Year!
