My Love Letter to 2014

12/31/2014

Comments

 

Dear 2014: thank you for catching me in the biggest, warmest embrace when I took a giant leap of faith to quit my job and become a full time photographer. I was bracing for a fall and instead I was lifted up by LOVE time and time again. I have celebrated love, captured love, and felt loved among so many amazing couples and families. I have cherished getting the last hug before a bride and groom make their getaway, anxiously awaited a family's reaction after they receive their images, celebrated every new booking for the year ahead, felt the disappointment of rejection, and fallen into the trap of self-doubt a time or two... hundred. But you 2014, and you fabulous people that filled this year, always gave me a big hug, high five, or kick in the pants I needed to pursue this passion that drives Jill Doty Photography. For that, I thank you.

Wonderful experiences have shaped me personally and professionally this year that I could not have anticipated. I'm living the life that was just a dream in what seems like such a short time ago. It just feels like God turned on a light on the path I've already taken to show me why and how I got to this point in my life. I am so blessed that most of this path was shared with my amazing husband, best friend, CFO, proof reader, supplier of ego boosts, and #1 fan of JDP.  I owe a great deal to so many people for making this year a great success. I feel like could have a credit reel a mile long, but you know who you are and you are loved dearly. 


I cannot honestly say that I will charge fearlessly  into 2015, but I will approach each new opportunity with an open heart, open mind, and open arms. So here's to reaching new goals, taking new risks, meeting new people, and capturing new memories. Love ya 2014. Bring it on, 2015!!!

Cheers!
xo, Jill

A Blue-eyed Beauty's First Christmas

12/17/2014

Comments

 
I love capturing babies at six months. They start to show off their own unique personality and crave more interaction. Plus it's really cute when they are just getting the hang of sitting up but still topple over and  giggle when they're caught by Mom or Dad. I had so much fun getting to know Ashley, Michael, and sweet Virginia last weekend! Thank you guys for letting me totally rearrange your furniture to capture precious images of your family and braving a chilly morning at Agnes Scott!  I hope this first Christmas as a family of three is wonderful and filled with joy, love, and lots of cookies. Or wine. Either works.

Love & Family: Ginah & Annie Engagement Session

12/16/2014

Comments

 
There are a lot of ways couples hear about Jill Doty Photography but it is so amazing when it's through a previous client! Referrals are my favorite and I'm so glad Ginah and Annie reached out... because now they're my favorite too. I had so much fun exploring Agnes Scott with these two (and of course Miss Poppy!) and just getting to know their love story. Things moved quickly in their relationship and Ginah said something that stuck with me: "When you know, you know. You know?" Sometimes love is just that beautifully simple and I cannot wait to celebrate it with Ginah and Annie in March!

The Sedehi & Fard Families at Ray's on the River

12/12/2014

Comments

 
If you were in attendance at Lea & Daniel's wedding this past March, you know just how fun these folks are! I had so much fun capturing their family portraits at Ray's on the River and celebrating a Georgia Tech win! Even spending just a short amount of time with the Sedehis and Fards, you feel like you're a member of the family. It was truly special to capture so many generations all together! Thank you guys for spending your Sunday evening with me! ...Next time I am 100% in for dinner, sick husband or not! :)

The Hanson Family

12/7/2014

Comments

 
After celebrating with the Hansons in August for Alex and Jonathan's wedding, I knew their family session would be so much fun! With the newlyweds in town all the way from Australia, the whole gang was back together again, including the pups! This family is one of kind. Not only are they all runway material, but they're so genuine, kind, silly, driven, and supportive of each other. I can't wait to see how this family grows and changes and I hope to be a part of the fun! Thank you Lee, Erin, Caitlin, Eliza, Alex, Kenzie, Jake, Alex and Jonathan for spending your Saturday morning with me. I know it probably wasn't your typical pre-game but it was obviously good luck! ;) Love you all!
