The Best of 2025
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the holidays. Pun intended of course. Gift giving, family drama, all the drinking. And, what to make of the New Year? What will 2026 bring?
Meanwhile I’m still holding on to the last bits of this magical year. Great highs, some truly awful lows, and in the midst of it all, the gorgeous souls and things we’ve been able to capture and more.
For years my team has reminded me to look back on what we’ve done & accomplished, what art we’ve made year over year, and honestly we should be doing more of that on a monthly basis, but I digress. And also not to forget, what we could improve for the new year.
That being said, we bring you this glimpse of 2025 in review not as portraits to improve upon, but the vulnerability, strength and honor in which to build tomorrow.
Wishing you the most glorious & creative 2026!
Happy New Year!
