| To try and sum up the past year of business in words would be futile—so, I'll use photos since just one is supposedly worth about a thousand.  *With a minor caveat—being that the first half of the year was really spent birthing this new venture, it's difficult separating what was solely business-related versus personal. Still, everything here ended up impacting the business in one way or another. So, yea.  Spent the first few weeks of January in Chicago during Abbie's residency interviews  And while there, took family photos with the Reyes family   Adorable nephew Devon    Fractured my clavicle while snowboarding which sidelined me for all of February  After three months of interviews and coffee shops, got awesome news that Abbie matched here in MD!  Took portraits of some of the youth group later in March    And promo material for these little singers' fundraiser  Shot my first maternity session in April    Then headed to the Philippines  Where we got surprised with a wedding shower by Abbie's sister and closest friends    Got married on 5/12/13, two days after I turned 26!     Check out our wedding video from MyPhotato on Vimeo!  Made the most out of the trip with a stop in Boracay with the brother and cousins      Finalized the paperwork and moved into our condo in Baltimore end of May  And wrapped up the month with an engagement session in DC     More engagement action through June     As well as a calendar shoot with the Miss Vietnam DC organization   Even squeezed in my first infant shoots to round out June     Played a bit through July   August saw the first wedding since being back     And where I had my first mechanical bull encounter   Spent a chilly September morning with the talented Culture Shock DC peeps    Along with my brother, completed the Nikon Holy Trinity  October was the perfect time for a Fall engagement session    And family portraits    More love and colorful trees through November    Registered as an LLC at 9:10am on 11/12/13!  Joined the PPA beginning of December  And then reconnected with these two growing families     Saw an old friend tie the knot  And on the last weekend of December, covered my first out-of-state wedding in the Windy City, the same place where I started out the year! Talk about going full circle. All in all, quite the eventful year, and however cliché, look forward to bigger and better things for 2014! |
