Year after Year

I think it’s rare to have a job that makes you universally loved by your clients & remembered year after year.  And for this I feel incredibly fortunate.  I can remember back to my early days in art school… I swore I would never shoot weddings.  I mean… I was, after all, ‘an artist‘… weddings were NOT art.  At least, they weren’t considered art when I began working towards my BFA at the Savannah College of Art & Design.

Obviously our ideas about wedding photography have changed drastically in the last ten years.  Even our ideas about family portraiture has changed- for the better.  By the time I graduated, this revolution in documentary photography was in full force.

After ten years in business, I’ve learned that establishing relationships with my clients are the most important thing.  They trust me to document their lives, their most precious moments.  Every year I watch couples get married & welcome their children into the world. Year after year, I watch these babies become children & little people discovering minds of their own.

So today I want to share with you two sisters, Audrey & Alicia, that I have grown to love over the years.  I captured each of their weddings (in fact, Audrey had the very FIRST wedding I photographed in Kansas!) Even though they live in different states, I still enjoy the precious moments I get to spend with them & their lovely families.
