Shooting weddings will always have a special place in my heart. When I was a senior in high school, I asked a local photographer if I could come to a wedding with her. Bless her heart. She said yes! Little did she (or I for that matter) know that she would be the first person […]

“Are you a hiking kind of girl?” I asked. “I’ll have my boots ready!” she replied. I knew it would be a great fit right then and there. Winter shoots are tricky. From the weather to the outfits, it’s just ot as easy as it is any other time of year. Knowing this, a lot […]

I had never met Kevin until the day of their engagement shoot. Abby was all smiles as she described him during her wedding consultation, and I was anxious to meet him for the first time. Everything she was telling me about him made me smile and my heart was full listening to her admiration of […]

Talk about talent! This girl is an athlete! I have heard so much about her from coaches I work with, and they all say the same thing–she was born to be an athlete! Let’s just say I had to use Julio the Stoolio the ENTIRE shoot…she’s just about half a foot taller than me. 😉 […]

I’ll be honest, I anxiously wait for newborn inquiries. I love getting my secret baby fix with capturing baby toes. Yes, you read that right…toes are my weakness. Those little toes make my heart flutter. This newborn lifestyle was just that–full of those moments that made me giggle and just soak up the moment. I […]

The Lifestyle family shoot to beat all family shoots…W.O.W. Z. A. From the colors, to the location, and most importantly, the people…this one will be one to beat–I dare someone to try ;). Wet during golden hour, aka photographer talk for two hours before sunset and drove to a meadow in the south hills of […]

This wedding will be one for the memory books. One could FEEL the love at this wedding. They could also feel the anticipation–the excitement! You see, the bride and groom decided to wait to have their first kiss at the alter. Seriously! And to witness this as a photographer…it was amazing. All the feels! When […]
