Lydia + Joseph had one of the most fun weddings we’ve ever been to, and maybe that’s because the two of them were so infectious with their laughter and smiles. If there’s one thing we want you to take away from your wedding day, it’s that it should be as fun as possible.  They had […]

It’s pretty awesome when we get to work with amazing organizations that help kids!  For Kids‘ mission is to “[break] the cycle of homelessness and poverty for families and children.”  I especially love it because they aren’t just putting a band-aid on a need, they’re working to get to the root of the problem so […]

When extended family comes in town, it’s the perfect time to schedule a photo session!  Rachel reached out for a session around graduation time.  We did a family session with her family, and some extended family pictures as well (scroll to the end of the post for those!).  The one thing they told me was […]

Amber + Zach had such a beautiful wedding with some of the most incredible DIY details that we’ve ever seen. We even witnessed Zach’s sister put together their waffle (!!!) wedding cake, and a friend created the most epic donut wall ever.  All of the details were so carefully thought out: from the pearl necklace […]

12 years ago Josh and I helped start Pinnacle Church, so it was really cool to meet the current staff with a mix of old and new faces!  We’ve kept up over the years, and through different states, and when we were back in town for a few days, they reached out about new headshots for […]

Ok, I’m totally cheating here.  Christy and I went to high school together and despite both living away from our hometown, we magically end up visiting at the same times nearly every year!  It’s uncanny, and proves how in sync we are.  She’s the mastermind behind this incredible blog about intentional living and I love how […]

In 2005 Josh and I were engaged and we still led pretty separate lives.  We lived in different counties, went to different churches, and were excited to begin to combine our lives.  One Sunday I was visiting his church and there was a guest pastor who was about to plant a church in the county […]

This goes down on record for being the fastest mini session I’ve ever done!  We were racing against the rain and… got poured on.  Our equipment is weather sealed, so I wasn’t concerned about that, but it started raining so hard that you could see the raindrops in the photos, and everyone was absolutely drenched.  HUGE […]

We’re back!  Three weeks on the road as a family of four crammed into a Nissan Cube was awesome and hard and the best thing ever all rolled up in one!  I shared about the first half of our trip here, where we visited family in Florida, and then wanted to share the last half […]

I love big weddings, and y’all know that.  400 guests?  SIGN ME UP.  But also?  I really love and appreciate small weddings too.  And everything in between.  I love the crazy of a big wedding, but I love the intimacy of getting to hug each of your guests after the ceremony and truly spending quality […]
