The Faces of 2009

These are the people that shaped my year, taught me so many things, helped my business grow and challenged me in ways I never thought possible.  I wanted to give one photograph representing each client, which was difficult because there were so many photographs I loved that I had to cut (for instance, some clients are represented by a photo from their engagement session or bridal, rather than their wedding.)  It’s amazing looking back on this year and I can only pray that God continues to bring amazing clients my way.

This year has been amazing.  Looking through all these faces and remembering the laughs and the stress and the joy and the anxiousness and all of it – it’s all good in retrospect.  There were many couples pictured that will have their weddings in 2010 and I wish I could look into the future and see how it will all turn out.  God has blessed me with amazing clients – people who make it a joy to get out of bed in the morning – faces that I stare at all day, all week, all year.  It’s the best job I could imagine and I am so thankful to everyone pictured here for such an amazing experience.  Thanks to you all and Merry Christmas!

love - AJ
