CBP’s Best Moments of 2017

BEWARE, this is a long one! But this is a new topic for me and I can’t help that so many great moments happened in 2017! As I was going through my favourite portraits to get ready to post in the New Year, I ran into these amazingly candid, tearful and hilarious moments captured throughout the year that I would LOVE to share. Some of these moments bring tears to my eyes, and others I look at and remember that exact moment with a smile! ….. or I sit here and laugh hysterically! (The feelings I hope you get while looking through your own galleries!) I love capturing these just as much as the beautiful portraits I love sharing to showcase my work, and I hope this showcases the work that us photographers do and the role we play in a different light. To remind you that it’s not always about the beautiful portraits! No they aren’t perfectly posed or perfectly lit, some of these aren’t even in focus… it’s all about how it makes you feel. And these are some of the realest moments you don’t always get to see!

Enjoy! And Happy New Year!
