All I want to do in 2019 is photograph more babies, all my returning clients, and take my kid back to Disneyland #lifegoals. I am also turning 40, which is quite unsettling, so I may just take a month off and enjoy it on a beach somewhere. I turned 30 in Hawaii so I need to top that. I have Puerto Rico and Guam flights bookmarked, but I also really want to go to Cuba.

Am I allowed to say 2018 was weird? I did not have enough babies in front of my lens, but also are there really ever enough babies? I had many returning families, but I really missed the ones I didn’t get to see. I loved hosting my first in-person workshops this summer, but can’t quite hit publish on the 2019 workshop. So I will just say I photographed some amazing people, mentored some awesome photographers, and took my kid to Europe. #lifeisgood As you can see below I like photographing hugs, kisses, babies, and the funny shit kids do. Oh, and I totally went outside this year multiple times.
