it’s that time of year again. here come the “best of” blog posts! this year, like last year, i’ll be counting down the most popular engagement sessions [fan favourites, if you will] based on the amount of comments received. i’ll also be making a few “honourable mentions” that may not have been fan favourites but they were certainly MY favourites. and it’s my blog. so i figure i have a right to throw ’em in. there’s something fun about doing this–seeing what sessions were the most popular with my readers & trying to analyze why.

if you blog, i encourage you to do the same! was it the way you spent time writing out their story? was it the location, the emotion, the chemistry you had with that couple? think back to what you felt like as a photographer while you were shooting these sessions. more often than not, i find that the most popular sessions are the ones where i felt most inspired. easy enough conclusion—the challenge is trying to find that inspiration for every session. that’s my goal for 2011. growth & more growth!

alright, first up we have, as the third most popular engagement session, liz & derek:

& finally, it’s no surprise, because everything this woman does is a HIT, the most popular engagement session of 2010 is that of laurell & trevor:
