What a year.

After taking a break in December, I decided to look back through my photos in 2014; it was SO rewarding! Every year I put it off thinking it's going to be a massive chore, and every year I find that it's an amazing trip down memory lane. The people I got to meet, the places I got to go, and the incredible relationships I got to capture are breathtaking.

This is a collection of my favorite images from 2014. Some of these are personal, while others are actual photography sessions. There's no rhyme or reason as to why I chose these photos... just that these moved me when I saw them, and made me feel something deep within. 

I'm SO excited to continue to capture deep emotion and to enjoy this beautiful year ahead. :)

Winter is my slow season - a time to rest and think and brainstorm and prepare. 

But sometimes there are those brave folks that invite me into their homes for lifestyle sessions! 

These are some of my favorite because everyone is SO relaxed... 

And on this particular day, we cozied up into bed, started a fire, and watched the first snowflakes of the season fall. 

These boys have been delighted with their new baby sister (affectionately nicknamed, the Tiny Child), and this little man holds her as often as mom will let him! 

And holy cow... that serious look and those deep eyes? I almost didn't want to coax the laugh out him!! :)

And also... those little feet are just plain adorable! :)

No big deal - just sitting on the kitchen floor holding a sweet baby. Nothing new here. :)

Near the end of our morning together, I tasked my husband with entertaining the little ones and convinced these two love birds to cuddle!

Not that they minded. :)

Aaron and Amanda, thanks so much for letting me crash your Saturday morning and photograph your adorable selves! LOVED getting to hang out with you - enjoy your photos! :)
