Best of 2016 | Lifestyle Portraits

I love this time of the year for countless reasons! A time to reflect. A time to relax. A time to review. Every year since 2013, I have gathered my photos from the previous year and shared what inspired me going into the new year! That’s exactly what I’m doing today! 🙂

Last year was a bit different for my business. In all of the years of my business, I photographed countless portrait sessions from month to month. I had to limit the number of portrait sessions in 2016, so I was able to have a healthy and manageable workflow from week to week. It definitely paid off! I’m continuing the same workflow for this year and looking forward to the individuals, couples and families I will have the opportunity of photographing!

I’m excited to share some of my favorite lifestyle portraits!!! Thank you, to all who made 2016 another unforgettable year! It truly was the best year yet!
