This is a topic that I feel like is consistently 50/50 on whether or not couples want to have a first look on their wedding day. There are a lot of superstitions and traditions that surround seeing the bride before the wedding ceremony, as well as grooms who are concerned with ruining that aisle moment […]

The honor of being chosen to photograph people’s most memorable and intimate moments is most definitely not lost on me, and if it ever is, I fully believe that I will not be working in this the way God has chosen me to.  And when Emily asked me to be her photographer a year ago, […]

I seriously love couples.   And love.   And, couples in love.  Ok, I think you get what I’m getting at here! Kylee & Justin were just that kind of couple.  Young, adorable and in love.  And they completely rocked their session! These two lovebirds have the cutest story about how they met.  They both […]

The amazing moment of being proposed to has finally happened!  Your fiance got down on knee in front of you, maybe it was an intimate experience, maybe they asked all of your family and friends to bear witness to the moment, however it happened – here you are with a beautiful ring on your finger, joy, […]

   Nadia & Jeremy approached me way back in the early summer to chat about what we could all do together to capture their engagement session and upcoming wedding date. At the time, while we attended the same church we didn’t, yet, know each other that well.  Most likely because I’m an introverted extrovert (true […]

Riley & David have one of those love stories that when they tell their grandchildren one day, I just know they’ll be in such awe of them.  And I’m sure that even then, with all of their grandchildren at their feet at the family get together, David will still turn his head towards Riley and […]
