Your hard work and dedication to becoming a #TwoBrightLights submissions rockstar have truly paid off. 💛💙 #TBLEditorsChoice2017

Have you ever done something where you weren't sure was gonna be worth it, but you had an inkling that you were on the verge of something that could be amazing? That's how I felt four years ago when we were first introduced to @two_bright_lights ... The idea of putting myself out there and risking rejection, feeling overwhelmed at the idea of "where do I even submit!?", wondering if I was good enough or if the editors would just laugh at me compared to some of the people I looked up to. The fears and anxiety was REAL, friends. But then I thought ... what the hell, the worst someone could say is no! And I began submitting ... and holy hell, the editors didn't turn me down, they didn't laugh at me or do any of the things I was so, so worried about. Over the last four years, we've been able to see our amazing couples featured in some of the coolest publications and had some opportunities given to us as a result that never in a million years would I have dreamed were possible. We're so, so honored to not only have won the Editors' Choice Award from our friends at Two Bright Lights for the fourth year in a row ... BUT ... I've also been asked to come hang out next week at the TBL booth at #WPPI in Las Vegas!!! I'll be there to hang out on February 7th, from 10am-1pm, answering questions from a photographer's perspective and to give out free hugs (since I'm a #showiteer and that's what we do! ;)). If you're coming to WPPI, be sure to come by and say hello!! #TBLEditorsChoice2017 #poweredbyTBL #twobrightlights
