The long year of 2021 is over holy moly I AM SO BLESSED to be able to witness, capture, and share so many beautiful stories!!!
My 2021 wedding season was one of the most beautiful (but tiring) years of my career. I am so, so grateful to all my couples and families who have either hired me, supported me, referred me, or just you reading this and following along!
I photographed 114 sessions!
38 Weddings & Elopements as lead
25 Engagement Sessions / Proposals
28 Portrait Sessions (includes family / maternity / newborn / boudoir / minis)
Whew! It’s been a whirlwind.
Some other silly stats:
14,898 miles driven for sessions
2 marriage licenses signed (I'm ordained!)
16 times I stopped at Chick-fil-A after a session (at least these are the receipts I recorded for taxes lol. If you follow me on instagram you know this is my guilty pleasure!)
365 days in front of my computer editing.... lol *cries*
And some milestone achievements this year on a personal level:
I became a wife!!
I paid off my student loans!!
I traveled to Hawaii, Colorado, Florida, NYC, San Diego, and Texas and visited four more National Parks: Hawaii Volcanoes, Haleakala, Biscayne, and Everglades!
Below is one photo from every session I photographed this year!!! It's so amazing to look back on and was incredibly difficult to choose just one photo - there are so many I love. And I realized wow I should really share more photos more often and I have a tonnnn of blogs to write this off season! I've written a few blogs this year, which I'll link below the photo(s) in case you want to see more from their session.
If you want to see all the photos in hyper speed, I made a 2021 recap reel on instagram featuring *almost* all the photos. They're the same photos that are below, but there's more featured here! These aren't in chronological order. I don't have enough patience to organize 100+ photos lol.
And after you're through here, check out my other recap blogs:
Don't forget to check out my Best of 2018, Best of 2019 , and 2022 Recap blogs!
Thanks for checking out my work!! If you're interested in scheduling a session, don't hesitate to contact me! I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
xo,
Tam
