2014

2014 was a year of huge personal growth for both of us. Like everyone else, we experienced good times and bad times… Julianne battled and overcame a serious illness. We got to do a little traveling, met some extraordinary people, learned about art, learned about music, reconnected with old friends, welcomed our beautiful niece into the world, worked around the clock (literally) to hit deadlines, argued, laughed, cried, hugged our doggie, and most importantly, grew our love for ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

A great photo isn’t just a well lit portrait, or a well composed landscape. Instead, a great photo should move someone in a way that few other things can. Often times, it has little to do with the skill of the photographer. All of our favorite photos are the result of the people in them and the stories they have and the feelings they feel. It’s easy to forget that amidst the chaos of a wedding day, or in an industry saturated with so many talented photographers all vying to be better than the next.

There isn’t one material object that overpowers the value of human relationships. The most important thing on this earth is the relationships we have with those around us. We are blessed to document so many wonderful interactions between lovers, families, friends, enemies, acquaintances, and strangers.

We are already into 2015 and we are looking forward to the challenges it will bring. So we’ll take the lessons we learned in 2014 and grow stronger. Below is our 2014 story.
