The only thing better than capturing moments is telling the stories of the people that go along with them. I always get asked, "How do you always photograph the most inspiring people with the BEST stories?" Well, I believe it's because my clients are also my friends. I get to know them. I pray for them. I take the time to learn about them. And then, I get the privilege to share their stories of love, strength, and courage with the world.
I'm so grateful to be part of their lives. I hope I get to be part of yours, too!
I’ve always loved the phrase, “God will never give you more than you can handle”. The funny thing is, ten years ago, I might have believed it…but I don’t anymore. After losing multiple people that I love within the past few years, and getting so little sleep that I feel like a prisoner of war, I […]
They say when you marry someone, you marry their family. Five years ago, I thought I was getting a pretty good deal with I married my sweet husband. But I had no idea. He has the most amazing family, and these two are part of that precious little God-wrapped, package deal. I have LOVED getting […]
They got married, they became a family, they had a baby. They suffered losses, they celebrated victories, they overcame hardships. They wake up, and live their lives in a way that honors those they love. They choose JOY. Every single day. And through it all, I get to be there. I get to walk through life with […]
These two are simply awesome. Their faith, their relationship, their story. I love it all. I had the opportunity to shoot Heather’s sister’s wedding a few years ago, and it was such a beautiful day. Now, Heather is engaged!! WAHOO!!! And I get the opportunity, once again, to photograph this amazing time in this family’s […]
I say it all the time. Yet it always amazes me. I get the opportunity to photograph the most ridiculously awesome-est people ever. Yes, that’s a word. This couple is no exception. Only took me about five minutes to fall in love with them. Their spunky personalities made the day so much fun, and we […]
This session was awesome. FREEZING cold, but super fun. Clayton was a blast…laid back, funny, kind, and did I mention insanely photogenic? Not sure he could take a bad picture if he tried. Made my job pretty darn easy. And fun. Since posting some of these images online, I’ve had several people tell me they think […]
I can’t even tell you how much I love this family, and how much fun we had doing this photo shoot…it was so refreshing. These people are some of the most genuine people I know. They have four beautiful kids, and an even more beautiful life. It’s not perfect. But it’s good. Oh, so good. The […]
I make seriously stupid mistakes all the time. Like, really stupid. I’d like to blame it on lack of sleep. On top of that, I’m fairly confident that I’m also losing brain cells at a rapid pace. This contributes to some pretty interesting events at our house. Yet somehow, I manage, every single day, to keep […]
I remember her in fourth grade. Sweet, beautiful, and kind. And nearly eight years later, she is still the same. I absolutely adore her. She was the smartest and most precious little 1o-year-old. And then, all of a sudden…she grew up. And my little fourth grader turned into a gorgeous, fun-loving, confident senior. I still can’t believe it. […]
Every year I make a goal to blog more…and every year I fail. Oh wait, every year I get married. Or have a baby. Or buy a house. Or do something crazy that takes up every-single-solitary-ounce of my blogging time. So I think I finally realized something. Wait, TWO things. One, I will blog when I can. […]
