I'd like to start this 2020 year review with a fitting logo.
The first two months were by far some of the most memorable, but March hit and 2020 would be a year WE ALL REMEMBER.

January started with coming home from Oregon and getting SUPER sick... *cough cough*
I kept telling my parents that it wasn't a cough that I had experienced before and it felt different then when I had been sick with a cough in previous years.
And looking back on fb posts... I'm just gonna leave this here.

The middle of January, I headed to Nashville with Lensbaby to work a trade show. Tommy and I had so much fun later that week I had been asked to represent Lensbaby in Kentucky, by myself, for a second trade show. It had finally felt like I was doing what I wanted to be and I was so proud to be able to say they wanted me to be there.

At the end of January, I loaded up and headed to Phoenix for the first dance photography conference, Pas de Deux.
I had photos reviewed by Jordan Matter, engaged in multiple classes, and found out I have zero knowledge of dance terminology.

February rolled around and I FINALLY was able to see my broadway idol in NYC at 54 Below, Jeremy Jordan. His concert was personal, toward through song, and laid out for all to see & hear. The NYC agenda also included Good Morning America, Frozen on Broadway & Dear Evan Hansen. Basically, it was a whole week of crying from happiness. Little did we know that it would be the last in-person performances and traveling we'd do for awhile.

March 13. the entire world closed down.

We did puzzles, found out what a Zoom Meeting was, downloaded Tiktok, and drank... alot...

Caught up with friends on Facetime, Zoom, GoogleMeet, Houseparty, FB messenger, & all the other forms of communication.

Hung out with all the fur babies.

Ate in our car more times than we could count.

And learned how to function while wearing masks.

Hair cuts and getting ready? That all went out the window.

Dallas graduated from Florida State University after 3 long years.
He took home the award for best play & best direction with Broadway World.

A week later, we had our storage unit broken into and had several items stolen.

Summer rolled around and although graduation was cancelled across the nation, w
e managed to capture these special photos documenting 2020.

In July, I decided it was time to update my camera gear and added the Nikon Z6 to my bag.

At the beginning of August, Dallas & I added a third fur baby to our family.

Welcome Bucky Bernese Barnes!

At the end of August, we loaded up and headed to Austin for my SIL bacherolette party and my birthday!

October was the big month for Ryan & Madeline! They tied the knot in beautiful Palestine, TX!

November and December rolled by quickly as we spent the holidays at home.

My parents bought an RV to travel and got a flat less then 30 miles after buying it.

Was featured in the local newspaper for the Sunday Spotlight.

Started a Lego collection and photo page to share in the world of Toy Photography.

Check it out HERE!

Became an official Lensbaby ambassador.

And was published on several blogs, a couple magazines, & was interviewed by Adobe.

Draco & Lucias Malfoy signed one of my photos and took photos of it because they loved it so much!

Worked on a blind double exposure project with my friend Tommy and created some fun film photos!

A few more random photos.

My top nine photos from my photo page & lego page!

All these cool people!

A few more cute Jasmine, Ella, & Bucky photos.

Some selfies and behind the scenes.

And the end this year off, it only made sense that I had to get a Covid test on Dec 31.
(It came back negative!)

Let's hope for a better 2021!
