I used to really love winter because it gave me a lot of free time to unwind from a chaotic fall and focus on growing my business without crazy deadlines every day. With grad school and a growing focus on commercial work, though, winter is a bit less free. Actually, I take that back. Grad school is the main issue. So many papers.

Still, winter is an important time for reflection and I always enjoy doing these year in review posts. They remind me that I have a good job and that my business is sustainable but they also remind me that my job is fun. I remember every single one of these sessions and they all involved at least one good laugh. If I get to laugh at least once during a day at work then it’s a win.

Here are my favorite shots from every non-commercial session of 2021.
