This is one of my favorite posts to do!  It’s (incredibly) time-consuming but I love going back through all of these smiles and remembering the stories that go with each photo.  Every year I say I’m going to do it as I go along but I do love reliving these memories with you guys.  Every family and every photo has a story and I’m so thankful I get to be a part of telling it.  2018 brought new families in front of my camera and brought back some of my favorites!  These photos tell the stories of hellos and goodbyes and welcome home… celebrating new adventures, new babies, and new chapters… big families and small families and new families…  birthdays, graduations, love, life, and everything in between.  And all the Santa, dance, and theater photos you can shake a stick at!  These are just a few of my favorites from this year!  Thank you so much for and incredible year and I cannot wait to see what 2019 has in store!!
