I put together my first “Best of the year” blog post last year in 2013, and it was almost shocking to look back at all the work I had created and people I had met in the span of one year. I knew I wanted to do it for each year continuing, to look back fondly on not only the images I made, but some of the experiences I had through my photography journey.
2014 has been without a doubt my most exciting year in photography yet, and a milestone in many ways. Here’s a few of the things that happened this year:
– Photographed a wedding at Kami-Con in Birmingham
– Visited Europe for the first time
– Photographed a wedding on a rooftop on Broadway in Nashville
– Got to visit and work in Los Angeles for the first time
– Moved into a new place capable of being a quaint studio
– Watched Seth Myers perform his show in Nashville all alone from backstage
– Ran around Broadway while it was blocked off for a commercial and a monster truck
– Photographed Doug the Pug
– Saw a lot of people in love get married
– Enjoyed the sites in Washington D.C
– Visited NASA to photograph an engineer for Cosmopolitan
– Meet and work with youtuber and personality Tyler Oakley
– Worked with a lot of amazing talents on many shoots
– Visited the Marine base for the first time in Quantico
– Got Engaged (August 29th, 2014)
I will be back in Europe this Christmas, can’t wait to see what’s coming up then, and for the years to come. My photography is a huge part of my life journey, so here’s a glimpse into my heart and soul:
My favorite event in 2014
It can seem daunting to look forward to the unknown, but I can’t wait to see what the next year holds!
