100 Photographers to Watch in 2016

I am overwhelmed to the point of actual tears!
Clickin Moms put out their second annual list of 100 Photographers to Watch this year. This
 list is full of incredible talent. Photographers who have shaped me, and inspire me daily (like Wildflowers PhotographyLiz LaBianca Photography, and Ryan Muirhead Photography) and photographers who are equally talented and have become some of my very best friends (Casey McCauley PhotographyInloveness Photography,and Kyla Ewert Photography) all make up this list. There are too many names for me to list here, and I am so incredibly thankful to be one of them. Thank you, Clickin Moms for the honor.

stephanie & her team

Stephanie is one of those women you see and think "...do I have something in my teeth?" because she is so beautiful. And you secretly kind of hope that she is a jerk, just so that the universe is balanced.
But Stephanie is as sweet as she is beautiful. And her husband is a gentlemen beyond words (the kind that holds my hand as we hike up a mountain and is totally okay with my complete inability to adult in situations over 10 ft above sea level). Her children are kind and funny and are proof of a beautiful investment that she and her man have poured in

From Stephanie
"Being a mom to these two amazing humans is the greatest gift I have ever been given.  They have made this journey into motherhood so incredibly exciting. Tyler and I look at our family as a team, and we are the coaches. We can only hope that we are giving them the right plays and the best pre-game pep talks. We are in this game of life together; we celebrate our victories and learn from our losses. We are there to support and cheer each other on & help keep morale up when its down. 

Life gets very busy and moves quickly. Mae’s session gave me the time to slow down and appreciate our team. I was able to look n to their eyes and breathe them in. And for that I am forever"
