This adorable family! What a joy to spend an evening with them last week, capturing their love for each other. Kaitlyn reached out to me hoping to book a session when they received hard news about their pup, Gryffin. Without knowing how much time they’d have left together, she wanted to have a few images to remember him and their life on the farm where they live. To honor their little family, we decided to photograph one of their favorite activities together- their evening walk.

He is lighthearted, cheerful, and has become my Dad’s very best friend. He is incredibly important to my family and we are thrilled he found his perfect match in Carrie.
Read MoreOn the night he proposed, we were all drinking champagne when Max asked if I’d always thought they’d get married. After thinking about it, I realized that I did by default because it simply never occurred to me that they would break up.
When they started dating in high school over eight years ago, it seemed crazy to think of this day.
Read MoreThese two.. where to begin :) Kathleen + Mike are getting married this fall after dating for a DECADE! Yes, I know they look way too young to have been together for 10 years, but they started dating when she was a sophomore and he was a senior in high school. He was a teacher’s assistant for one of her classes and luckily the teacher never found out, but everyone else knew. As you could say, the rest is history!

Read MoreYou may recognize these cute faces. They are my sister Carla and her boyfriend Max. They have been together for nearly eight (!!!) years and for fun, we snapped a few images while visiting one of our favorite local spots, Black Ankle Winery. We had a great time sipping wine, listening to the live music, and taking these (see Max’s face in the last image for the level of seriousness).
Read MoreWow, this was a great way to spend a Saturday morning :) Ana, my oldest friend, had shared with me that she’d love to do a little photo shoot with her sweet corgi Finley, just for fun. When I announced my Valentine’s Day mini sessions, it was the perfect opportunity for a girly, pink, silly 20-minute session!

Lorraine caught a breeze by riding up to the first look on her famous pink vespa with a huge smile, veil and all!
Read MoreWe have been lucky enough to know Brent and Corbin since Patrick began teaching. Brent was a source of guidance for Patrick in the early days when he felt overwhelmed in his role. With a smile and a joke, Brent always knew how to help Pat with his classroom challenges. I was lucky enough to spend time with him outside of the school setting at lots of social gatherings.
Read MoreWhen Carla and I made our flight arrangements to visit our best friend Nicole in Florida, the first thing I said I wanted to do while there was a quick engagement session with her and her husband one evening. My favorite people to photograph are the people I know and love and being able to share images with them, of them, in which they look and feel beautiful is the most fulfilling part of my role as a photographer.
Read MoreI'm a big, big fan of the cozy at-home engagement session. I’ve noticed there’s something about being in someone’s space that allows their personalities to really shine through. The comfort of being at home means I get to observe and capture who you are when no one’s looking.
Read More“And most of all, never ever lose that big personality.” Kim wiped away a tear as she finished reading Ben’s letter. A tear that she had fought back as she read page after page of him professing his love, loyalty, and respect for her. That single tear was the perfect symbol of this exciting, overwhelming moment as they prepared to say their marriage vows and unite their lives forever.
