When I wrote my 2013 goal list I was dreaming big. I wrote down things I didn’t know could really come true or what the steps would even be to make them happen, but Andy was encouraging me to dream greater and grander so I did. (Seriously, this comfort-loving girl would not be in half the places she is without this big vision man who is always encouraging me to a new level). I have been *blown away* with the way God has brought some of those things to be this year: from flying to Idaho to shoot one of my favorite weddings of the year to landing a photo in Neiman Marcus catalogue, it has been incredible. I wanted to get my work in print, not for the purposes of getting my name out there (of course that’s always great), but more so for the awe of holding a piece of physical work with my images in it. That’s happened a few times this year, but then, it went a step further: My photo. On the cover. of EMMA magazine. I’m beyond blessed and humbled. Beyond overjoyed and just so, so thankful!

Shooting for Emma’s October issue was so much fun! I love these girls and all the goodies they are always prepped for me to shoot. From food to halloween costumes, we shot a plethora of product. Check out the issue to see what all made it in! I can’t wait to try some of the actual recipes for some of the food we shot. Looks soooo yummy!

Just some of my favorite shots:
