This last post of 2012 should be full of my favorite wedding moments of 2012 but to be honest, I haven’t finished editing all of my 2012 weddings yet and I haven’t blogged about 8 or so… This year has been a doozy to say the very least. For those wishing to skip the sob story, just scroll down and look at my favorite personal polaroids of 2012. I shot all of my personal photos with my polaroid cameras this year, and I loved it.

Thanks for continuing to read this part. This isn’t actually a sob story, because I don’t like to mope around and feel bad for myself. I would rather take that energy and focus it on something that will do some good. I can’t believe 2012 is over. I don’t know about you, but I am ready to put this year behind me. What I have learned over the last 12 months is this: if you take care of yourself, always try to be the best version of yourself and surround yourself with positive people, everything will be ok. Easy words to live by, right? Much easier said than done. I want to thank my photographer and non-photographer friends (most – if not all – of you are past clients!) for really being there for me this year. And I don’t mean I needed someone to drive 4 hours to bring me a backup camera. I mean you were there for me. I hope I never have to return the favor, but I gladly would in a heartbeat. I am really excited for what is to come in 2013. I am looking forward to photographing some wonderful couples all over the country, and focusing on what I think is most important in life. Thanks to this amazing job for helping me realize just what that is.

Here are my favorite personal polaroids from 2012! Scenes include: Iceland, Bar Harbor, the Fells, the Oregon Coast, my 30th Birthday at Drink, and a Hot Tah-dy Christmas Pah-ty. Happy New Year!
