In light of the New Year settling in, I wanted to look back at some of the photos I was able to take in 2011. Here is just a few of my favorites.

My oldest brother, Zach, wanted to take his 3 boys for an overnight camping trip. It just so happen that the day he planned was also my little brother’s birthday. The family ended up cooking hot dogs and s’mores together in celebration of Scott’s birthday (and the nephew’s campout too). Here are some images from tonight.

Photographing Taylor and Stephanie’s wedding was more like hanging out with friends than working. Though I have known Taylor for years, I had the privilege to get to know Stephanie a little better shooting her bridals a couple months ago; what a great couple. They were wed at the picturesque Munger Place Church and then partied with friends and family afterwards at Off the Grid.

Congrats to Taylor and Stephanie!

While enjoying a nice rainy weekend (and a North Texas conference win), I was able to spend a little time editing photos and wrapped up this awesome engagement session. The day began at Libby and Adam’s subway station at 68th and Lexington. We then walked to Central Park and spent a little while just exploring the park. Finally, we wrapped up at Times Square.

The weather stayed clear for us and the city treated us well, for which I am thankful. I am already looking forward to their upcoming spring wedding.

As I was culling through the images from my trip to New York City last week, I could not resist to share at least one frame. I had an awesome time being able to shoot a beautiful couple in a beautiful city. Please make sure to stop back by to see more from the day!
