This year end blog post has become one of my favorite things to do (take a trip back to 2016 and 2017 to see what I mean!). Looking through thousands of images not only gives me the opportunity to relive the moments that meant so much, but it also brings forth a feeling of immense gratitude. Every first look, first kiss, first baby, first dance, and first step still feels like the first for me. 2018 was a memorable year. I moved into a studio space downtown and smile from ear to ear whenever my day includes one at the office. Weddings kept me busy as I traveled to unique places (The Berkshires and Florida) and also to favorites from the past. My families kept me busier than ever before. Sweet Lady Jane Photography saw a huge baby boom this year, with maternity and newborn sessions galore! What a joy it has been to see my brides and grooms become moms and dads. There is nothing better than sharing this journey with each of you and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

In a world filled with a barrage of glitzy, trendy, instant insta-content some days can feel like a challenge. Days when a little voice in the deepest corner of my mind can wonder-Am I good enough? Does my authentic voice count for anything? Does my vision shine through? And then there is a day like today. Looking through 12,702 images (to be exact!) and not hearing one question. A day when there are only answers. Answers in every single laugh out loud smile, in the tears of nervous joy, in a father seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time, in the toothless smile of a six year old child, in the quiet calm of a nursery as new parents marvel at their miracle. In every toast, selfie, and floss out on the dance floor. This, my friends, is the good stuff and it’s the stuff that will keep me coming back for more year after year. Questions or not…I simply love doing what I do and getting to do it with you.

To my brides and grooms and to all my families. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for choosing me to document the best of times. I am overwhelmed and humbled.

And to my 2019 couples…woo hoo!! We are in the home stretch! It’s almost here and my heart and head are so ready to capture all the fun! 🙂
