2017

This was a year for me to find my voice. If you know me, that might sound funny because I’m quite a chatty person. Nonetheless, it’s taken work and time and patience to get to know myself and learn how to say what I really mean and not say what I don’t really mean. And how to take the photos I want to take and not the ones I don’t want to take (or can’t take!). Thank you so much to my community for supporting me and listening to me and giving me space to learn and grow. And thank you thank you THANK YOU to all my amazing clients. I literally would not be able to do this without you; you are what makes my job a dream come true.

This year I loved:

• geometric landscapes
• warm + soft colors
• a photo for the sake of the memory + a story, not just the aesthetic
• out of focus black + whites
• dancing brides
• crying grooms
• a shot that looks like a still from an old french film
• shadows
• romance, romance, and more romance

This year I took photos in:

• Dominican Republic
• Whistler, BC
• Seattle, WA
• St. Paul, MN
• Northport, MI
• Leland, MI
• Grand Haven, MI
• Grand Rapids, MI
• Fennville, MI
• Coloma, MI
• Sweet home Holland, MI

Cheers to send 2017 out and cheers to welcome 2018 in!
