I personally think year in reviews are SO fun! Sometimes it is easy to feel like we’ve accomplished nothing each year, but I promise you if you look back and reflect on the time you’ve spent seeing and doing you will be TOTALLY surprised! 2015 was an amazing year for me photography wise. I was blessed with the chance to photograph some of the most amazing children, families, seniors, and couples!! 2015 was also an amazing year for me personally. Cody + I did a lot, saw a lot, made some important vows, I started a new school, we laughed, learned, argued, smiled, struggled, but most importantly… we lived and lived well.
I am so excited for what 2016 will bring us!! Once again I know it will be crazy!! I’ll be traveling for school, we may end up living apart and doing long distance again, Cody’s in school too, we’re raising our new puppy, and I know we plan on going on so many more adventures. Who knows what the future really holds, but right now we’re just sitting back and enjoying it all!! On that note, sit back and enjoy our favorite photos from the last 12 months. I can’t believe this year is already over!!

Then we got to spend Thanksgiving with our son, Karsen (haha!), and our second family, the Millers. So thankful for people taking us in!
Thanksgiving 2015 | Raleigh, NC
We bought our first tree for half off thanks to Hobby Lobby sales and I couldn’t have been more in love with how it looked. So thankful I have a country lovin’ husband who let me decorate our tree all rustic + outdoorsy like.

Our trip back to Texas for Christmas brought us to our sweet puppy, Tripp. We love him so much already and he has the best personality. We can’t wait to watch him grow!
