It’s been years since I’ve done a round-up of some of my favorite images from the year! I struggle to narrow these down and so I decided to showcase some of the images with the best candid emotions!
I love the epic portraits…. I do. I love perfect composition and controlled poses and great light… but at the end of the day, sometimes the images that make me feel MOST like a professional and a creative and an artist, are the candids. Capturing the moments that I have no control over takes skill and it requires me to think quickly on my feet. These images are why I love my job! Enjoy scrolling through some of the sweetest moments of 2021!
Thanks for reading!
