Sentimental Senior and Family Photographer based in Glen Allen, VA

This year end post is one of my favorite ways to reminisce and fall in love with my clients all over again. This last year has been one of growth and learning despite personally difficult times. Needless to say, I’m thankful for another year doing what I love and working with tremendously awesome people! There are some key highlights I have to mention:

  • I launched my first internship program and was able to work with three wonderful interns!
  • I successfully homeschooled while owning a business!
  • I got to shoot outside of Central Virginia twice!
  • I started back to school! More about that in another upcoming post!
  • I trudged through my last session with a kidney stone! And yes, it’s STILL there!

The year started off fresh and new with this precious guy…

Then this sweet girl!

It was still snowing at one of our snow shoots!
