I am going to toot my own horn a little here, but that's okay. It's always good to be proud of and love your own work, right?

This is arguably my favorite wedding photo I have ever taken. It wasn't planned - she put the mirror up, and I was looking, and here comes the photo!

I absolutely love how beautiful this photo turned out. My bride was beautiful also, so that for sure helped !! This photo just really captures the feel of the day.

Do you have a fur baby that may be crossing the Rainbow Bridge soon? These sessions are FREE!
All sessions are 30 minutes. I make sure to get detail shots of your pet (nose, ears, etc) as well as photos of you with your fur baby for you to remember forever.

You receive all edited images back in an online gallery where you can download them from. You also receive a print release to get any prints you wish.

Your fur baby does not have to be sick to have these done. Contact me today!

If you would like some business cards to have and hand out in case someone you know is looking for a session in the future, let me know.

I can't wait to capture their wedding day in October!!

Knowing that I have happy clients is the best feeling in the world! I am always so happy knowing my couples love their photos.

This is an image that would normally be on the edge of being cut from the final images that would be sent to my client. However, I actually really love this one for a couple of reasons.

First - it shows the absolute joy that both the bride and groom had after their ceremony. This was when myself and my associate shooter took the bride & groom for an intimate session after the ceremony, and they were both just literally jumping for joy.

Second - that is my hand and arm that you see holding the bride's dress up in the back while she is working. This shows just a small part of what I do for my wedding couples when they are booked with me.

This image will for sure be in this couple's final gallery!

A little sneak peek of the wedding I shot this weekend.

Venue was beautiful, the dress was gorgeous and sparkly, and the day was amazing for a wedding! Now I am exhausted though..but I really do love wedding photography .

Congrats Jazlyn and Jaydon!!

Current Editing List -

Thank you for being patient with me. My wait time right now for weddings is about 3 - 4 weeks and other sessions are about 2 - 3 weeks. This is the start of my busy season, so those times may change as the season moves on, but that is where we are right now.

Thank you to all of my clients for being so patient with me!
If you want family photos, senior photos, etc. done this summer, let's connect and get you on my books!
