2011 Favorites

2011 was a year for learning, growing and lots of firsts.  In the midst of our home renovation, my husband & I decided to embark on a new adventure---starting Paige Meyer Photography.  For me personally, it has been one the most rewarding decisions I have made. Never in my life did I think that in my first 6 months I would be booked solid through the end of the year. God has blessed in more ways than I could have ever asked or imagined. I am so grateful for all my clients who were willing to take a chance on me as I was (am) still learning and growing. I had the privilege of working with so many wonderful clients who reminded me each and every session why I absolutely LOVE what I do!   It gives me so much joy to be able to capture each and every sweet moment and I look forward to many more to come this year.  Enjoy some of my favorites of 2011!

I also want to give a big thank you to my husband who has been the most supportive & encouraging person in my life.  He has moved furniture, set up engagement vignettes, acted like a complete fool to get smile from little ones (see photo below for an example), has given up his dream for a "man cave" so I can have a studio at home, and has put up with some incredibly long hours of editing at the office. He has let me bounce a bajillion business ideas off of him and has listened intently like he actually knows what I am talking about even when he probably has no clue at times. I'm sharing all of this basically to say he deserves a lot of credit --- most of the things he does go without being seen so I just want to thank him for being the wonderful handful of a husband that he is!  Case and point....

As we begin 2012, I am excited to see what God has in store! There are lots of new & exciting things in store for this year and I can't wait to see them play out. My mind in constantly turning and thinking of better ways to serve you. Thank you all again for making it possible for me to pursue my passion and allow me to do what I truly love to do! 

Wedding {Brittany + Ryan}

Brittany & Ryan have frequented the blog with their engagements, bridals, and now their wedding. I cannot thank them enough for allowing me to be a part of their special day.  They had full confidence in me throughout the entire process, even while knowing their wedding would be my first to shoot.  And can I just say that I could not have handpicked a more laid back and sweet couple to share this experience with. Brittany & I share the same quirky love for organization and list making so everything went more perfectly than I could have even imagined!  So thank you, Brittany & Ryan---you guys were such a joy to work with! Now, sit back and enjoy some of my favorites from their big day!

 

Thank you Brittany & Ryan for allowing me to be a part of your special day! More than anything though I need to give so much credit to my WONDERFUL husband who was the BEST assistant I could have ever asked for.  I'm pretty sure I might have had a ridiculously unnecessary meltdown if it wasn't for him making sure my head was still screwed on and forcing me to eat & stay hydrated!
