LOVE in 2020: Best of COUPLES

"LOVE is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning." - Paulo Coelho

Today we celebrate LOVE, so what better day than to show off the love of the couples that I photographed in 2020. A big shout out to Katie and Barry who celebrated their engagement this year and ended up becoming husband and wife, too, in a small ceremony while putting off their big celebration until 2021. I just love sneaking in a few shots of a couple during a family shoot, remembering that the core of the family is so important. I have been known to hold a baby AND take photographs at the same time. Of course, I love shots of grammas and grandpas, too, since I fall into that category!! There is no age limit to love! Some of my couples had babies this year or were waiting on a new little one to love. Certainly a lot to celebrate! 2020 was a year of challenges for all, so to see all the LOVE, it was certainly something to cherish. Of course, all the kids are part of the family love, too, so if you didn’t see the BEST of FAMILY blog, scroll on down to see that!

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING! Best of family for 2020

2020 was a year that none of us will ever forget. Family time became something that may have looked different for so many. We were thrust into close proximity with some family members and then kept so far apart from others. Some families have suffered with illness and some loved ones we have lost forever. 2020 will forever change us as the year that will make us never take anything for granted. With that being said, I am extremely GRATEFUL for these wonderful families who had me document their connection, their joy, and love. Meeting with these families was TRULY the bright spot of my 2020 and kept me lifted up in one incredible year!
