My poor beleaguered husband. Imagine, for a moment, you are the spouse of a photographer. And you have no kids. Can you imagine the inordinate amount of time my husband has to spend in front of my camera because I want to “test something out”? Back in the day, this could take hours. I’ve gotten a lot faster at “testing” and he gets off a lot easier than when we were dating (but then again, we were dating) but he still ends up in front of the camera fairly often. “Oh god the light is so good here,” I might say, already reaching into the bag for the camera. He’ll sigh and give me that “yeah yeah go ahead” look. Most of my photos of him feature said look.
I had such a lovely afternoon exploring Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis with this sweet couple. He proposed there. She suspected. They’re getting married on the water. I’ll be there. Love is cool.

Rawr.
It’s been a crazy, fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, balls-to-the-wall, non-stop year. I’ve grown immensely as a photographer and as a business owner and things just keep getting better and better. I really can’t express how grateful I am to the photographic community at large and the wedding photography community specifically for being so open, helpful and generally fantastic all the time. I have so so much to be thankful for and I haven’t even stopped talking about my business yet.
