2016 was an eventful year to say the least, filled with major highs and extreme lows, it really did redefined our understanding of the world and humanity but despite all the craziness of the year, I was blessed to have been able meet a bunch of amazing folks who entrusted me to document their most precious moments and share in their happiness and for that I am eternally grateful. My family was blessed with a tiny person and I just can't get over her new baby smell. I got to work with a ton of other talented professionals and have forged new relationships. In 2016 I was able to grow as a photographer, fine tune who I am as an artist and really understand my place in the world even more. So in restrospect 2016 was a great year and I'm looking forward to an even greater 2017. Here are a few of my favorite photos of 2016.

2015 was a pretty interesting year for me, it was one of immense growth and vast learning. During the year I learned a lot about myself as a photographer, completely embraced my vision and my approach to photography while limiting external influences and relying heavily on my unique voice. I was invited on several occasions to speak about photography and created my first creative portraiture workshop , so it's safe to say that 2015 was a year of living outside of comfort zones. I was privileged to photograph some amazing couples and weddings and really look forward to what 2016 has in store.

"Best" is extremely subjective, what we consider our best images will differ from person to person unless judged by a standard set of rules but what fun will that be? The images presented here are my favorites for many reasons, some being their technical complexity, the circumstances in which they were created, the realization of a vision, what I was experiencing at the time when they were created, the visual impact of the images, how the images make me feel and what they stand for. Here are my favorite images from 2015.
