2011 - Our Best Year Yet.
With every new year, we always like to look back at the previous twelve months, reflect on what we've learned, figure out what we can do better, and enjoy remembering the highlights. We could not be more thankful for the year we had in 2011. January brought the birth of our first son. This summer we met some of the most wonderful people and have many clients that we remain close friends with. We were so blessed to be able to take some great photos for people. Cameron's little sister got married. Holden's first cousin was born. In December Mindy was able to quit her full-time job to dedicate her time to Holden and the business. Not too shabby... 2011 was such a great year, and here's a taste of some of our favorite images that we created last year. If 2012 is even better (and it's already looking that way), we're in for a real treat!

We're headed to St. Louis for Christmas, but we wanted to leave you all with a little preview of what's to come next week. We'll also be posting our favorites from 2011 sometime soon so keep an eye out for that. Merry Christmas!
And now, the moment we've all been waiting for...
We're so incredibly proud to announce that as of today, Mindy is now a full time part of BRAUNphotography!!! Today is our 5th wedding anniversary, and we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate! This is a HUGE goal that we've been working toward for a few years now, and we couldn't be more thrilled. God has blessed us with some of the best clients in the world, and with so many friends and family that support us and believe in what we're doing. Thank you.
We can't wait to see what 2012 will bring! Holden gets to have his mommy home, Cameron gets to have his honey home, and with our powers combined, we think we're can create something truly special, both for our family and for wedding photography in the midwest.
