A beautiful and continually inspiring group of ladies and I have been doing this favorite 5 blog circle for years now – yes, years! Every month we post a small selection of favorite shots from the previous month, add a little bit of commentary and link on to the next gal in the circle. So, be sure to head over to check out Audrey’s beautiful work when you’re done here – thanks for looking!

January is supposed to be my off season, my down time, my catch up on the gruesome details of daily shooting, of running a business, of buying/selling/packing and moving homes (gah!!), but no, siree. Not this year. Ringing in the new year, a couple of birthday celebrations, Madeline and Ryan’s gorgeous wedding, the aforementioned major life shift (by the way, I’m never moving again – ever), and an incredible trip to California for the first ever Heck Yeah Photo Camp (squeezing in a few visits with some amazing people in the meantime) – it was an absolutely mind-blowing kick off to 2016! If the rest of the year continues like this I’ll be crazy tired, but stretched in some of the most wonderful ways ever. I’d love if you took a swing through some of my favorite photos from January, and don’t forget to hop on through the circle!
