Remember how we spent a month in Boston in July?  This family was our secret sauce– the ones that held us together when we were falling apart.  And yet, we never met until July 5th.  You see, these four volunteer their home for families to stay in while our children are at the hospital.  And […]

Kayla + Nick know how to bring the party, and that was such a fun element of their wedding day!  They are truly best friends and have a great time together.  They make each other laugh, love dancing, and made every aspect of their wedding day fun for everyone. When I first walked in, I […]

It’s been a year since I threw my back out.  Not an Oh man, I need pain meds kind of throw my back out.  I was down.  Hard.  I couldn’t move. I had worn my back out over the past decade- a mix of pregnancy, chasing around and picking up my daughter, poor posture, and holding […]

Kaitlin’s father/daughter dance wasn’t a dance at all.  Instead, her father played guitar while she sang to James, her groom.  The room was perfectly quiet except for her voice and the strum of the guitar.  The look on James’ face was priceless.  Complete love, shock, and admiration.  The look of ‘I can’t believe I get to […]

Rachel + Tim are this quiet, reserved couple when you first meet them, and then you quickly realize that they are quick-witted and love to joke with each other.  And they absolutely, 110% adore their dog, Coco.  And according to Tim, Coco is the whole reason for the wedding (he’s kidding, of course… just look at […]

If medical things mess with you, then don’t read this post.  Please, just don’t scroll down because it is really rough.  There isn’t blood or anything, but there’s tons of wires and tubes, and I know not everyone is okay seeing that.  But for those parents who are preparing for something like this, it’s helpful […]

I could write a book about this family– and someone probably should.  They have overcome so much.  So much loss, so many victories.  They choose to look at the bright side, and on this day, they celebrated.  What were they celebrating?  Family!  And also, this is the first time they’ve all been together in over […]

There are so many things to love about the Donatelli family, and I am so thankful that I get to photograph them year after year!  We’ve done a family session, a wedding, now a senior session, and there’s already a family session on the books for later this year! Sam is awesome. He’s got a […]

Kelly + Nick were high school sweethearts and dated for 8 years before tying the knot last month!  Kelly said she always needed help in geometry class and Nick helped her out.  It turns out, he was so willing to help because he thought she was pretty! I agree, Nick… Kelly is gorgeous!  And after 8 […]

I love when I admire someone from a distance, and then get to meet them up close!  I saw Lizzy singing at church one day and told Josh how great she was– and then the next week I got to meet her and photograph her and Austin’s first anniversary session!  They are just plain awesome and it […]
