The ‘Best Of’ series is back for 2025! Honestly, where does the time go?!

This is one of my favorite blog posts to put together, because it really helps me reflect on the year and all of the beautiful work I created with the help of my amazing clients and assistants.

While there is work that I love from every single session, this post is really a round up of some of my favorite images of the year more from the photographic perspective.

This year I also decided that I wanted to include some notable key moments like I do over on Instagram.

In fact, I keep a list each year of 52 Good Things that are not revenue related, so that I can remember all that I’ve accomplished in a year, to celebrate the small things, and be grateful for how far I’ve come along with the impact that Five Freedoms Photography has made.
