It's New Years Eve and what better way to say goodbye to 2018 than my annual Top 100 post? I love doing the Top 100 posts. They are so hard to decide on but so worth looking back on all of the awesome people and places I was able to shoot throughout the year. This year has really been pretty amazing and I hope for an even better 2019.

3. This image was taken back in 2017 but since I edited it this year... so much bridal beauty in just one close up photograph.
2. The colors, the light, the pose, the flower. Everything about this image is what I strive for! Lexie is a gorgeous girl and I'm so glad I got to take this image for her senior portraits.
Drum roll please....
1. My favorite image this year is from way back in the spring. So much lined up to make this image one of my favorites. I like it even better cropped to a stronger horizontal but we'll keep it full frame this time. Nick and Savanah's wedding was lovely and this image is too!
Thank you all for an amazing year and I'm looking forward to 2019 already!
