Photographing families in the fall is a real treasure.  When booking, you never know if you’re going to have the best weather or the worst weather, windy or no wind, and the temperature could be 35 or 70 degrees.  And everyone is hoping for gorgeous fall leaves, too!  Sandy Bottom Nature Park is a really […]

David and Christina are real. Within minutes of meeting each of them, I could tell right away that they put up a facade for no one, and we like it that way! In all seriousness, they were by far one of the most cool and laid back couples we’ve ever had the pleasure of shooting, […]

I can’t even believe how many extended family sessions we’ve been able to do this year!  It’s such a cool thing to experience.  All these families coming together- they have different things going on in life, different hopes and dreams, but they’re all family and have that tie that binds them together.  I love that. […]

Sweet, adorable, kind… I could go on and on about Lindsay + Matt!  They’ve already gone through a lot of life together, and they’re ready to take on their new adventure as a married couple next fall!  These two are hilarious, too.  I feel like we spent half the session talking, but it only makes […]

When their daughter turned one, the Chubricks hired me to do a family session to remember that special time.  And then again when she turned two, and then when their son was born, and every birthday for the kids after that.  They grow so fast those first few years, and I love that I was able […]

I have to admit, there are a few butterflies in my stomach when I show up to large family sessions.  I absolutely love them, but… what if all the family members are high drama?  Or what if they are all annoyed that they’re having to do family pictures?  It’s a wild card, and you never […]

I keep staring at my screen trying to figure out how to put Lacey + Taylor’s wedding day into eloquent words, but I just can’t.  These two define the term “Power Couple.”  They work together, love fiercely, love God, and know how to throw a pretty epic party!  I remember talking with Lacey’s mom about […]

6 years ago when we moved to this area, we had the privilege of getting to know the Saunders Family. While we didn’t become acquainted right away, we were constantly hearing about how great this family was, how giving they were, and how much they cared about investing in the lives of others. How did we […]

Maybe I’m overly sentimental, but seeing three generations of families come together for family photos makes my heart so happy!  What’s more, this family got up before dawn to make it happen.  When Melinda first called me, she said, “I really hope you’re available on Wednesday at 7am because that’s the only time we can all […]

The Dominice family quickly became some of our best friends when we moved up here 6 years ago.  We’ve been to their house for Thanksgiving and Easter, volunteered together at church, we play trivia together,  and see at least one or two of them every single week.  I even did Alli’s senior portraits when she […]
