2013: Behind the Scenes!

December 20, 2013 /

Another favorite 2013 recap of mine: BEHIND THE SCENES! This was the first year I really tried to take regular photos of not only myself (usually reflected in mirrors – nerd) but also my various assistants and makeup artists that I work with! We have a freaking BLAST, whether we’re running around at a wedding or doing a boudoir session, so I wanted to highlight some of my favorite behind the scenes shots of the year. 🙂
