I’m so excited to share this rainy Baker Lofts wedding I had the honor of capturing last weekend. You’ve all heard rainy wedding days are supposed to bring good luck, right? Well, did Sam and Nick hit the jackpot! I don’t think anyone wishes for rain on their wedding day (except maybe for this groom!) […]

With the weather playing its part flawlessly, we were blessed with the most dreamy golden hour light, making the session truly magical. How […]

Sawyer turned one! Here we are just days later, and I still can’t believe how quickly the past year flew by. The saying “the days are long, but the years are short” holds true! It genuinely feels like I just held my little man for the first time yesterday, and now he’s celebrating his big […]
