With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it feels fitting to be sharing this BEAUTIFUL wedding with you today! As I reflect back on this day, I am SO thankful for Lou and Demaris AND all the amazing couples I’ve had the honor of serving this year. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude!!!     Lou + […]

When she first emailed me back in July, I had to do a double take. Sure enough, it was her! It was the same Lauren that was a student of mine while I was teaching at Stone Ridge High School! The same Lauren whom I had taken senior portraits of eight years ago! But this […]

Every once in awhile, I have these moments on shoots where I’m reminded of the crazy blessing photography has been to me. This particular time, I was smack in the middle of my two week trip of back-to-back shoots when I met up with the Kirchert Family. As I followed them out to the location, […]

Ever since she emailed me a little over a year ago, I’ve been looking forward to their Chateau Rive wedding!! I was even a bit nervous for our initial Skype meeting, but I instantly felt as if I’d known Mady my whole life! From our first meeting to their engagement session, all the way to […]

Heading to California and reminiscing about my last trip and my time with these THREE brothers!!! They are country boys to the max, give ’em their boots and they are good to go! Let’s just say when they arrived to the session, one (or all) of them had dirt and dust already on their jeans […]

I first met the VanSickle family last year when their little Evan was about to celebrate his first birthday! Well, he is about to turn TWO and CUTER than ever!!! I don’t know how that’s even possible!!! And with his word of choice being “yeah” right now, I’d say he is kicking off being two […]

A few weeks ago, I had the honor of documenting senior portraits for my niece Brielle and her bestie, Macy. To say I had fun with these two would be the understatement of the year! From Macy assigning us each ‘hangry names’ to showing me how to apply highlighter to exploring the beaches of Seaside, […]

Had the honor of photographing Mark and Katelyn’s wedding a few years ago, then when they were expecting Brooklyn, and now as a FAMILY of four! Oh my heart!!!     I distinctly remember the joy and love between Mark and Katelyn on their wedding day, and it seems to have only multiplied as their […]

He saw her before he met her. Marissa’s friend had told Kevin she was starting the PT program where Kevin was already a second year student. So he, being his studious self, looked her up on Facebook to see about this new prospective student coming to the program. She’s cute, he thought.     The […]
