2011 was an incredible year filled with amazing opportunities. I met SO many wonderful clients last year and grew as a photographer leaps and bounds. Glancing through this past year's archive I felt humbled and thankful....God has been good to me.
A year at a glance...100 photos from this past year, in no particular order, that have become favorites of mine. Described in a word or a phrase, it's what I remember about that moment, my client or the photograph itself.
2012 will be nothing short of fantastic. I will be relaxing in my role as a photographer a bit more. I will grow even more, constantly becoming and fulfilling my role as an artist, apart from all the other millions of photographers out there. I will be focusing more on who I want to become as a photographer...not what others think I should become or be. I won't be pushy or overwhelming....I'm just going to enjoy.
Sounds like a plan to me.
