2019 will always be the year I became a mother. An experience I’ve wanted — with varying degrees of certainty and longing — for as long as I can remember. Meeting our daughter was the single greatest moment of both our lives. My heart grew like the Grinch, and it continues to expand each day. 

In an attempt to tackle a bucket list item pre-baby, my husband and I road tripped to California. He had never been. We biked through the Redwoods, swam in the Pacific Ocean, rode on and under the Golden Gate Bridge, we saw sea lions, elk and seals and Monument Valley at sunset. It was a perfect trip.

I also had my very first art show, performed another comedy routine about trying to conceive (while being pregnant) and I visited my home state of Vermont.

Professionally, I photographed weddings in Salida, Gunnison, Crested Butte, Estes Park, Nathrop, Beaver Creek and New York City! I photographed babies, friends, celebrations, achievements, anniversaries, reunions, events, products and new construction.

Below is a smattering of some of those wonderful and beautiful moments (Dílse excluded) from this past year. Thanks for looking! Happy 2020 to you all.

Big love, Cailey
