2013: Explore. Embrace. Live. Learn.

2012 you beauty. What an incredible year it’s been. Here are a few things I’m thankful for, looking back at 2012:

Fantastic clients who make me realize everyday how lucky I am to do this on a full-time basis… seriously. I have been very blessed with lovely clients who get me and I get them…it’s awesome.

– Truly beautiful and fun weddings I was commissioned to shoot both here in the UK and in South Africa.

Press features in 12 wedding magazine & various wedding blogs. Thank you to my clients for inspiring other wedding couples with their wedding stories.

– The opportunity to travel to Paris, Italy, Turkey and South Africa this past year.

– The birth of my gorgeous little nephew & godson, Anakin and the opportunity to photograph him in mummy’s tummy, as well as 3 weeks after he was born. Mind-blowing.

I feel incredibly blessed to have had such a successful year and I’m really excited about 2013 and what it will hold for AMP (including a brand spanking new website *watch this space*)! For now, I’ve trawled Pinterest to create some fun goals / reminders for me on some of what I’d like to do in 2013.

A big thank you to all my clients, friends of AMP, family (especially my wonderful hubby) and close friends – you rock my world. Happy New Year!
