10 Happy Things for January (and a Sale!)
/
HAPPY JANUARY (and THANK YOU!!)
I've had so many AMAZING CLIENTS this year and I cannot explain how happy you all make me!
In 2021 I photographed:
64 families,
43 weddings/elopements,
and 21 couples/engagements,
AND I CANNOT THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH FOR TRUSTING ME WITH YOUR INTIMATE AND SPECIAL MOMENTS!
Extra special thanks for the weddingwire and google reviews, holiday cards, instagram shout outs, & referrals - these mean the world to small businesses like mine!
Also, I took on too much work in 2021(a lot of which had to do with all the wedding reschedules from 2020) and I'm planning on scaling things back a little bit in 2022. So, please, try to schedule a few months in advance if possible (especially in autumn).
10 HAPPY THINGS
As always, this list is pretty random, but hopefully something will make you smile.

1. YES!!!!

2. I know the holidays are over, but this is too funny not to share.

5. This might be the best musical I've ever attended (I'm seeing it again with the kids in a few weeks).
I also really loved this movie (though my daughters found it boring). And this emotional roller coaster of a book.
Further, this motherhood-themed photo series is pretty fantastic.

NEW IN 2022 - MENTORING!!
Over the last few years, I've had several people come to me for photography advice, so now I'm making it official! Ask me anything - website reviews, lightroom help, basic or advanced questions regarding photography - let's set up a zoom and talk about it all! Once I know your needs, I'll come up with a plan and a pricing estimate. Since I'm new to mentoring, prices for the first few clients will be heavily discounted.

HAPPY 2022! (AKA COVID Y3)
LET'S MAKE IT A GREAT YEAR!!
