Wow! 2012 flew by for me! So many amazing events and opportunities and I am grateful for each one of them. 2012 was a big year in photography for Country Lovin. Skills were learned, shoots were booked, photos were taken, nerves multiplied, and smiles beamed. I know I say this a lot, but that is because I really MEAN it. Thank you so much to all those who allowed me take their pictures in the past year. With so many talented photographers out there, I thank you for trusting me to capture those precious images to be hung in your homes and memory books. As I have reflected upon the pictures taken in 2012, I have gathered one {of my many favorite} photos from each session. I hope you enjoy reflecting, as I have, on the past year of Country Lovin Photography.
{Liz} Taking Liz's pictures was a blast because time spent with good friends is always fun, right?! I also found some goooood lighting. Love lighting and friends.
{The Griffiths} My favorite part about this session was seeing the sweetness of the parents interact with their young kids. What great parents and example they are to me.
{The Campbells} Well I loved this session because I got to see some people I haven't seen in a long time! What a good mother Kandis is. I loved their Combine pictures! Stay true to who you are when you have your picture taken...and that is exactly what the Campbells did! Love it!
{The Schnoors} I loved this session because Janae and Brayden are so in love, and treat each other so well.
{The Thomsons} This session helped me see how busy 2 year olds are. I def learned to shot fast, for a 2 year old wont look at you for long!
{The Hartleys} Hey..? this is MY family. A good friend took these for us, then I edited them. I loved this session because my family finally has updated pictures!
{The Powleslands} I love country families, so I loved time spend with this family. The Powleslands are FUN.
{The Beazers} I LOVED this shoot! It worked great having my sister along and these boys were to fun.
{Britain} Well, I had been lossing sleep at night over this shoot. I was TO excited for it! Britain is as smart as she is sweet.
{The Pitchers} Loved the color selections of all the families. This helped me realize that extended family sessions require a lot of editing, but really rewarding so it is worth it. :)
{The Redfords} Nothing has made me feel so good then to attend Maddi and Derek's wedding and see their pictures displayed in big frames, knowing that I took the photographs. It made me feel all giddy! These two are great.
{Melissa} Taking pictures of my identical twin can lead into fights...we got these just before...haha. Love ya Melissa!
{The Derricotts} This was super winding, however the lighting, props and couple were GREAT. Erica and Clay are fun. Erica is super sweet and so good at talking to anyone and making you feel so special. Thanks girl.
That concludes the sessions of 2012. I cannot wait to see what is in store for 2013. I have so many ideas and announcements to come in the next little while. Stay tuned for updates on session info and availability. Good luck in 2013 everyone, I'm rooting for ya!
