2011 was a year to remember. Ash and I lived in Brooklyn, NY, for half the year while she was pursuing her graduate degree, and after we had made the decision to move back to AK for the year (and only 2 weeks before the move) we found out we were pregnant. Now, Ash and I are back in AK, working and preparing for Elliott's arrival in early March!

Above is a tight edit (23 photos) of some of my favorite and memorable photos of 2011. It still amazes me where photography will bring us sometimes. The photos above were taken in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Florida, Anchorage, Utah, the Bad Lands, Bethel, and Coney Island. Happy 2012, everyone!
