This Glass House Community styled shoot was an absolute dream! My good friend and colleague, Sam from Samantha Joy Photo, started dreaming up this shoot a couple months ago. She had a vision, a color palette, and her grandma’s china, and the rest just took off from there. I don’t know how she does it. […]

Well guys, 2020 wedding season officially kicked off yesterday! A couple month ago, no one knew if this wedding would be possible. It wasn’t exactly theĀ  big Red Shed wedding Brett and Emma had originally planned, but it was a joyful celebration of their love nonetheless. Brett and Emma are college sweethearts. They met at […]

Every detail was complete perfection. I just know this Pinterest-worthy wedding will be an inspiration to anyone planning their own wedding! It’s certainly […]

Meggan and Brent are two of the kindest, most hard-working people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Meggan recently graduated vet school, and she and her now husband breed goats! If you’ve been a follower of mine for a while, you may remember their adorable, goat-filled engagement session from last fall! For the last two […]

I’ll never forget the first time I flipped through my grandparents’ wedding album. We were helping my grandma gather photos and prepare for my grandma and grandpa’s 50th anniversary party. Fifty years. Having only been on this earth for thirty, it’s hard to truly wrap my mind around such a milestone. Page after page of […]

I. Love. Details. Wedding day details are what make each wedding day unique. A lot of time and planning goes into each and every part of a wedding day, and one of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is capturing all of those personalized details. I recently second-shot a wedding for my good […]

I have to start this post by saying I meet the very best people while working on this fun business of mine. Rachel and Dino are no exception! I actually met these two last fall when I had the honor of photographing Brianne and Ryan’s wedding, where Rachel was a bridesmaid, and was really excited […]

I don’t even know where to begin when describing what an honor it was to photograph Katie and Brad’s big day. I met Katie via her cousin, who is a fellow photographer, and was instantly excited to work with her. She is the kind of person you are just drawn to – kind, bubbly, beautiful […]

i BELIEVE IN LIGHT, laughter, having a great time AND
