Another year, another JHP Behind the Scenes blog post! And while blogging might not be all that popular anymore, it’s a tradition I definitely plan to continue - it’s so fun to see and remember how things have changed from year to year!

This year was a particularly unique year, considering the fact that I was pregnant for the first time throughout the vast majority of my photo season, from April all the way through 2022 (due in January 2023!). And truly, my season couldn’t have ended at a better time. I photographed my last wedding at 32 weeks and a few days, and after that last wedding, I was thankful to be able to let my body rest! Weddings are a little hard on the body to begin with, but growing a human definitely adds to the overall tiredness and fatigue during and after a wedding day!

I had the pleasure of photographing 14 amazing couples wedding days, and photographed 65 senior, engagement, family, and headshot sessions. I am so very thankful for each and every couple, individual, and family who let me be a part of such special seasons in their lives!

I am also immensely thankful for everyone who helped me this year by helping me carry gear (a huge shoutout to Robin, Erica, Raven, and my mom!) and especially my husband, who photographed all 14 weddings with me.
