Looking back over this past year, it has been such a blessing! It’s been one of amazing growth for me both personally and professionally. David and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary and he continues to be my main encourager and my business manager extraordinaire! Professionally, I’m expanded my photography business from mostly family and childrens portraits into the wonderful world of weddings!
I had the honor of photographing more than 10 different weddings and many engagement sessions too. I love getting to know the couples I work with and their families. It is such a blessing for me to be a part of their family on one of the best days of their lives.
I have cherished everyone that I worked with over this past year, both clients and other photographers.
This has been one aspect of my business that I didn’t anticipate and which was such a pleasant surprise: the support and encouragement from so many fellow photographers in Nashville. I started attending the Nashville Pictage User Group (aka “PUG”) in June and loved getting together with other photographers on a monthly basis to discuss all different aspects of photography. If you’re a Nashville PUG photographer, thank YOU for all that you have done for me: met for lunch at Moe’s, asked me to second shoot for you at weddings, given me advice on which lenses to buy and which ones not to and for all of your encouragement. I am thankful to be surrounded by such rich talent. My father always says, “A rising tide lifts all boats.” I know that’s true & I hope the tide keeps rising in 2010. (No, that’s not an Alabama reference, I’m still a VOLS girl.)
The fun photo below was from the Nashville PUG holiday party @ Gregory Byline’s studio & Gregory setup this great shot.
