When your high school volleyball coach asks you to take pictures of her family, you…    a) Freak Out   b) Cry   c) Say Yes   d) All of the above    For me, it was definitely d) All of the above! Leslie was my volleyball coach for two years and made such a […]

You might remember seeing the Slate family in my feed over the years. I’ve had the absolute JOY of getting to photograph this sweet family together, and this year, I was SO happy to sneak in a mini-session while I was down in California with them!     I ADORE this family!!! And their boys […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

But as soon as arrived, I felt like we were old friends, talking shop, sharing who […]

I first met Shayla three years ago when we shot a wedding together in Washington. She is one of those people I’ve met in life I feel just incredibly grateful to have gotten to know, and indebted to the photography world for connecting us. Shayla is what I call, a super mom. Not only does […]

When Allan and I got married this past July, I inherited a pretty fantastic family along with him! He comes from a family of four siblings like me, each with amazing families of their own. And now, between the two of us, we share twenty-six nieces and nephews!!! To say the least, our family get […]

Oh, you know…I was just a wee bit excited for this session. Okay, If I’m being totally honest, there may have been a pre AND post happy dance that happened. There you have it – all my secrets! No, but for realsies, this session was such a blessing!     Not only was this my […]

A few weeks ago while I was in California for a wedding shoot, I got to sneak in a a quick portrait session with the Pedreiro family! I can’t even tell you how ridiculously sweet this family is. When Kenzie jumped out of the truck and ran over to give me a hug in her […]
