Best of 2013 Lifestyle Portraits

I’m excited to start making some minor changes around here at Stephanie Messick Photography! Yesterday I tackled my blog! As you can see above, I’ve made some tweaks with more changes to come this weekend! Next week … I conquer my website! Ah! So MUCH I want and need to do! I love this time away from the busy season to do stuff like this before the wedding season is in full swing. 🙂

So far, I have covered best family moments, most inspiring collection of photos, favorite ring shots, favorite engagement portraits and today I will be covering lifestyle portraits. This will cover a range from family sessions to maternity to couples portraits to senior portraits. Enjoy some of my favorites from 2013! More of the “Best of 2013” to continue next week with weddings and bridals! YAY!
