Best of Portraits 2015

Engagements, Anniversaries & Specialty Portraits

filed in:

This week is one of my FAVORITE blogging weeks! It’s the week that I highlight my BEST work of 2015 and I normally categorize these images into two categories : Weddings & Engagements. The issue this year is that I have had multiple anniversary sessions this year that I’m especially fond of and so I decided to make this post a “Best of Portraits” post!! I actually made this post creation process VERY easy on myself this year! Every time that I finished a shoot, I would take my FAVORITE images and save them in a “2015 Portfolio” folder in an online gallery!

So, creating this post was as simple as downloading that folder and pairing the images for the blog! TA-DA! I’m so proud of myself!! It’s amazing how a little organization can really come in handy when you need it to! As I look through these images, I’m in amazement! I don’t think I could have asked for a more beautiful year of portraits. These shoots were so much fun and I cherished my time with each couple!! We have a mixture of anniversary shots, engagement shots and a few from our Southern Weddings shoot too!! Enjoy this beautiful recap of an incredible year of portraits!!!
