2013 in an instant

2013 has at times been wild and turbulent, it has also brought with it clarity and very high moments for us creatively. we are so thankful for this year.. through it all i know 2013 is a piece like all the other years that will fit perfectly into the adventure of life that dave and i are on together. it's been a good one.while we love our pro camera gear, our little instax camera gives us a lot of joy in our personal time, with its unpredictability and the whirring of the image popping out after pressing the shutter. here's 2013 in instant photos, a few snapshots of our year briefly captured :2013 was a year that saw us being invited to join an incredible workshop in the mountains of colorado / taking a couple of cottage weekends of rest in both the snow and the sunshine / photographing many a great weddings for many a great couples / even getting to travel to greece to photograph a wedding this summer / being able to visit with all four of my grandparents (here + here) on that trip overseas / celebrating seven years married / doing the color run (again) / transitioning into a gluten-free lifestyle / camping with dear friends in michigan (their photos here) / going to TIFF for the first time / reading a lot / visiting my brother in boston and driving down to cape cod / going to iceland / visiting alaska (more on that soon) / and finally winding down the year celebrating the holidays at home with family with smiles in our hearts from the year that was.2013, you just flew by. you flew by, but not without leaving little lessons on our doorsteps, friendships to be thankful for, and the deepest of memories etched in our hearts.this life is mingled with highs and lows, joy and grief, but i also know that this life is meant to be celebrated, so over these next few days, we hope you do so.cheers to another year of living and doing and being and loving! do it with all your might.
