After tying the knot last year in a intimate, backyard ceremony - these two were finally able to have a big celebration with their family & friends! This day was so prefect & totally worth the wait! 

It was beautiful to see the small group gather in support of this couple. Amy & Josh are each so kind-hearted – together I know they will build a life full of love & support for one another. This wedding day was so honest & lovely. I can’t wait to photograph the big party next year!

This one was in the stars (for me & Ally). OK, OK, for Ally & Irving mostly! But really, I was so happy to get connected with Ally & to work with her Irving. On our first consult call we talked for about an hour – we found out we both love Halloween, mystery novels, […]

And that’s what has stood out to me this year at weddings. I’ve noticed that I feel pure joy when I see these moments that weren’t possible for so long. Moments […]

I wish I could shoot this wedding day over & over again. There was fun and warmth and honesty everywhere I looked. I think couples often feel pressure to plan and have things a certain way on a wedding day. I give Robert & Emily a lot of props for not letting any of that […]

We rarely have the benefit of a professional florist on hand during a newborn session… but that’s exactly what made this one so special! The talented Christen of Hedonia Flowers really worked her magic for baby Z. This little lady was wide awake until the end of our time together, but that was fine by […]
