2022: A Year in Review
2022 in Photographs
This has been a busy, busy year. In a lot of ways, my business has changed more this year than it has in any year before. This became apparent to me while grabbing photos for this post when I realized just how much of what I photograph is now commercial, real estate, or editorial. Families and family moments, like weddings, are still a huge part of what I do and I am proud of the photographs that I came away with this year. Here are some of my favorite shots. I let a few headshots and houses slide in there but for the most part there are a lot of families and a lot of genuine love. The last two are of my daughter, Eejin, who is one of the reasons why this year was so busy. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2023!
Evelyn Paints: A Paint Smash Session
Evelyn came into the studio dressed as a rainbow- which is exactly what the studio looked like after she left. Paint smash sessions are always adorable and are basically guarantees for great photos. Check out some of my favorite photos from Evelyn’s paint smash.
This is my second paint smash session in as many months- which is cool considering I had never heard of these before. These are a blast to shoot because they are easy (minus cleanup - which isn’t that bad). Give a little kid a paint brush, some washable paint, and a giant piece of paper and you’re guaranteed to get some winners.
This is Evelyn. She is the child of two of my friends so this session was extra casual- though paint sessions are never particularly formal. She took a little bit to warm up to me, then to the idea of getting paint all over the place but she had fun- clearly!
