2016 Year in Review
January 1, 2017
2016 has been a challenging year for me. I really dove into why I create the images I photograph. I have a connection to the Northwest, and I love connecting with people/couples and learning their story. This lead me to offering adventure sessions for couples wanting more than the average anniversary session. I spent more time with my clients in these sessions so my photography was able to celebrate their relationship and tell an authentic story. My work has become more meaningful, and I cherish every wedding day, engagement, and anniversary session that I photograph.
This year I was also expecting my first baby. He entered the world 7 weeks earlier than anticipated and had to stay in the NICU for quite some time. We are now at home and I am enjoying my maternity leave this winter. I am in love with this newborn phase of life, while also sleep deprived and constantly trying to get another cup of coffee! Being a Mama is an absolute joy, and I thank God for my healthy baby son. The end of 2016 brought a lot of chaos, but peace was not lost in the midst of it all. I’m looking forward to many firsts with my son in 2017, and I can’t wait to see what is in store for Photography by Betty Elaine. I am eager to meet the clients who will give me the privileged of capturing their joyous wedding day celebrations!
Cheers to 2016! Even with your challenges, there was so much joy.
