2025 Favorite Photos
2025 was a busy year—full of client sessions, photos of my own pets, travel, and fundraisers. Looking back at the year through photos brings back so many memories. Some are joyful, while others are bittersweet, especially when they include pets we’ve lost. This short video highlights some of my favorite photos from the year.

Why I Create My Favorite Photo Collections Each Year
Sometimes the year flies by. Looking back through these photos helps me relive the moments behind them. I remember how easy, challenging, or fun it was to get the exact photo a client was hoping for. I re-experience the joy of watching my two dogs play in the yard while I photographed them. And wow—the moment when the bear finally caught a salmon after many failed attempts. That’s what photos do for me. They help bring the moments back.
