2010 was the year I ate my words, in more ways than one.

I did a lot of things as a mom I swore I’d never do (listen to Laurie Berkner, watch Barney willingly, ignore the mess, forsake my beloved shopping days for kiddie gym class, you name it). Business-wise, I always swore I’d never shoot weddings. Too much pressure, too long of a day, and giving up one of my two precious days a week with my family.

Then I (second) shot one. And was hooked. I loved shooting weddings. Those little moments I loved shooting already–the ones where people are genuine with each other, and not paying attention to anyone with a lens? Weddings are MADE for these moments! Ok, well, maybe not really, but you know what I mean. Over the rest of 2010, I shot a handful of weddings, some as the second shooter, and some as the primary. Pouring rain, thunderstorms, bright blazing mid-day sun, wintery darkness, 90 degrees, muggy and buggy, I’ve seen and learned a lot this year. More than anything, I ate my words. I love shooting weddings, and all that comes with it! Below are some of my favorites from the year. (Note: I am currently only accepting a VERY limited number of weddings for 2011. I have a few on the books already, and have about 3 spots left. If you are thinking inquiring with me for your wedding, I would recommend doing so sooner rather than later.)
(The cutie on the left above might look a little familiar–he’s the little boy running down the stairs in that Beautiful perfume ad I’ve seen on tv! He does a lot of print modeling work too. Fun!)
This is the last business post for 2010 for me! Tomorrow I’m posting my favorites from my 52 Weeks project I did this year, with Lila. And Saturday I’m going to announce my new personal project for 2011! I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to all of my amazing clients for such a wonderful year. You are so supportive and inspiring, and I can’t ever thank you enough. I look forward to seeing everyone again in 2011!
