There is ooooooone more 2012 session, but I can't show you yet. Next year.
It's weird looking through an entire year of images and travels and musings and work. The visual nature of my work and passion means that I get to see my year unfold, if I am, say, going through an entire year of my blog to facilitate posting this year-in-review. It has been a really great year. As always, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to pursue this work and capture such important times in the lives of my clients. I am so... happy. More so than I think I can probably say I have been since college and maybe not for a long, long time. Bring it on, 2013.
Gotta love a bride who takes a tequila shot before she walks down the aisle!
The smallest member of their family did an excellent job as ring-bearer.
Big, big sky.
Not everyone could make it to Arlington for the wedding, so some folks had to join via Skype. I don't normally post family pictures on the blog, but couldn't resist this one that includes relatives somewhere far away, joining the wedding by internet! We live in a crazy time.
Then I got to steal Liz and Dave for a quick stroll around their neighborhood and into the surprisingly beautiful blip of park next to the tennis courts. The sun popped out just in time to give us beautiful golden light.
This is 100% them, y'all.
Congratulations Liz and Dave!
