So often we are told not to look back… that the past holds no value for us. Usually we would agree. But today as we take a look back at 2012 we only experience joy and thankfulness. We were blessed to have AMAZING couples in our lives. Each and everyone a true blessing to us. We don’t hold lightly the honor of sharing one of the MOST important days with these folks! We have learned, we have laughed, and we have grown. And we’re pretty darn excited for what 2013 is going to hold for April + Paul Photography!!!

Here are a few behind the scenes photos of our year….

Sometimes we get to photograph beautiful people on beautiful beaches at Sunset.

Don’t let anyone tell you that hide & go seek is not teaching you anything, check those skills out.

There will always be MANY photos like this one. =)

Just the typical squat and shoot.

And sometimes I get tired of being the model!

YAY for taking a break from weddings to play with kiddos in the dirt!

We love when our couples let us play in their photo booth!

This poor guy looks WORN out!

This guy ALWAYS does what it takes to get the perfect shot!

BEST thing ever when our buddies are at weddings we photograph!

I got to embarrass the heck outta this guy by telling the D.J. it was his birthday! He deserved to be called out!

Havin’ fun with the kiddos at this wedding!

Not a bad deal when your couple lets you fish at their engagement shoot!

Paul captured this graceful shot of me attempting to get off the ground.

Just another silly face for ya!

I promise there is a couple over there somewhere.

We both felt the need to test out the light for our beautiful bride.

There is no greater blessing than getting to photograph your friends birth. Thanks to Moriah for capturing this one for me!

I was a tiny bit excited about this cute lil acorn.
