Words are such a powerful thing. They have the power to hurt or the power to heal. As humans, we can use our words to fix problems, or to create them. To make others’ lives better, or to make them worse. My dad’s words are, and have always been, very gentle, yet very powerful to […]

You can be a little weird…yet still be SUPER COOL. This “lesson from dad” isn’t quite so serious…but it’s still pretty important. You see, my dad is one of the coolest people I know. But also…the weirdest. He taught me to be an individual, that it doesn’t matter what other people think, as long as […]

Fourteen long months ago, my dad was diagnosed with cancer. We were told at the time that it would be an easy battle, it would be over quickly, and in one year, we would hardly remember it happened. Yet, as I type this, my dad continues to fight one of the toughest battles he has […]

I swear, every time I shoot weddings, I become absolutely addicted to them. I end up driving home, on a “wedding high”, thinking…if I could just shoot weddings every day, I’d be one happy photographer. Part of what makes me love shooting weddings so much, is the fact that I continuously get the most amazing […]

My mom and dad met on a blind date nearly 33 years ago. She was a waitress at a small town cafe. He was the hunky farm boy that worked at his dad’s gas station. She was a high school cheerleader & he was a studly college guy. After their first date, he said he would […]

Eva is one of those friends. Three summers ago […]

These are two cool people.  I mean, super cool. I met Megan a few years ago while shooting her sister’s wedding, and loved her immediately. Her spunk and zest for life were contagious and she gave one of the best maid of honor speeches I have EVER heard…I might have almost peed my pants. This […]

On March 12, 2012 at 1:27 p.m, my nephew Micah Nathan Moore was born. He entered the world, a perfect 7 pounds, 19 inches long. I was privileged enough to get to be in the room when he was born and I was blown away at the miracle of it all. It was one of […]

Caution: This very well might be one of the most beautiful pregnant women you’ve ever seen. Seriously. I can say that because she’s not only stunning on the outside, but she has a heart of gold. She’s one of those people that you just stare at, because you can’t believe she is THAT pretty and […]

This couple rocks. Not only were they my first wedding of the year, which is always super exciting…but they have an AMAZING story to boot. Overcoming tragic pasts, these two took their love for each other, and more importantly, their love for God, and created the most beautiful love story together. Combine that with three […]
