A Collection of Photos from My 2024 Camera Roll
Those of you who know me know I love taking photos wherever I go. Be it landscapes, selfies, or dog pics, while traveling, adventuring, or standing outside in my own back yard, I’m the happiest version of myself when I’m holding my camera, snapping photos, and turning moments of time into forever capsules that are so much fun to look back on each and every year. Sitting here today, a rainy, late-December afternoon in the dwindling days of 2024, I’m really feeling that reminiscing, reflective spirit as I scroll back through a year’s worth of photos that made 2024 a year to remember. Forgoing the traditional style “here’s-what-I-did” kind of reflection post to end the year, I thought I’d share a collection of photos from my 2024 camera roll instead — 12 months of memories that illustrate life, love, and happiness in 2024. What a year!
