Friday my little sister got married. I can’t express how incredibly beautiful this day was. I have been to over 100 weddings and I have never heard vows like Daniel’s were to Skylar. It was such a blessing witnessing this union of marriage and seeing these two come together so perfectly. Their story is straight from God and it was incredible to witness.

I was able to capture the beginning and bits and pieces of this day but a huge shoutout to Marissa Barnes and Casey Owens for coming to help out and capture when I was not able to. I am so grateful for you both!!

I just think this Summer’s light has been incredible! Sharing a beautiful session of my in-laws and neice! So thankful for my family and the cousins my kids get to grow up with! Can’t wait for baby boy in November!! 😍🥹

Elaina Grace has arrived and I don’t think I’ve ever seen more proud parents (and pup) than these three. Such an incredible and precious gift.

The light was showing off at Baker Park last Monday!!! Please look at all these to see the beauty that unfolded for McKenzie and Brian’s engagement shoot. Ugh I just fell in love with this session!!

I photographed Maria and John’s wedding back in 2019! I remember the day so perfectly. Maria was so giddy and excited that she was finally going to get to marry the love of her life. Before leaving to walk down the aisle, her and her bridesmaids all started dancing in the bridal suite singing about getting married, and babies, and all that was to come.

SOOOO you can imagine my joy and excitement when she reached out about their pregnancy and asked me to capture yet another huge milestone in their life!!

This child is so blessed because it gets to be raised by two of the most amazing people!! I’m so happy for them, and Maria is just glowing in these photos!

The Galindos!

What I absolutely love about family photos is the beautiful chaos!! I LOVE it! I love capturing the moment in time and all its beautiful imperfections. Families being who they are to their core. Children laughing and playing with no strict regime to the pose. Most family sessions with children have about 15 minutes of attention span (if that) lol! The rest is just play and I’m all here for it.

Friday was such an incredible day for Kristen and Brad. As I’ve gotten to know these two through the whole wedding planning process, I’ve come to absolutely adore them as a couple. They have such a genuine love and it is truly an honor to capture their wedding day. It was full of so much love from family and friends! Kristen Yanchoris

Friday was such a perfect kickoff to wedding season! Jessica truly looked like. Garden princess which matched so well with her florals and venue.

These two are the type of couple you don’t have to say a word and they just sink into one another. I couldn’t have been more thankful to capture and witness such an incredible day.

I love being behind the camera again after a gloomy winter season!

When I see the Dary family, I’m just so happy. 4 beautiful children to fill their home and hearts with so much love. What could be better than that?

01/10/2024

Melissa has been one of my closest friends for 13 years! I can’t believe it has been that long! Watching her be a mother precious little Easton, (and I mean PRECIOUS) has been such a beautiful experience!

She was one of the first friends I told about going on a date with Cj, and here we are after years of friendship, dating our spouses, engagements, weddings, and pregnancies, we are raising babies together.

I love seeing her kill it as a mom, and capturing this time in their life is a treasure!

Extended family session for the Bangerd’s.

I love how this family just went with it, and had so much fun with their session. You can just tell by all the smiles that it was a good time.

Extended family sessions are always such a great gift to give to your loved ones. I can guarantee that they would treasure these photos forever.

01/08/2024

So many beautiful sessions with the Wallaces, but this one was even more special because I got to officially meet little Robert.

What a beautiful journey it is to see a couple get engaged, married, pregnant, and then watch them as parents with their beautiful child. Such an incredible blessing.

Bo is absolutely adorable and this little fella smiled the entire session. His eyes alone will melt your heart!

To say I am happy for this family would be an understatement. I am overjoyed that I get the privilege be on the sidelines to capture them all as they grow. THANK YOU!

01/03/2024

This wedding will go down as one of my favorites. 2023 was so good to me. All my couples and all the beautiful marriages I witnessed truly overjoyed my heart.

Tori and Conor got married in November, but I am just now getting around to sharing on my Facebook. This wedding was incredible. Everything about this day was so exquisitely beautiful and seeing their dream come to life was truly magical! Tori and Conor are the sweetest couple you could encounter, and I don't think a moment goes by where Conor isn't smiling!

I have LOVED getting to know Devon and Kevin, and watching as their dreams for their wedding day finally come together.

When I first met these two, we sat over coffee and discussed Devon's vision for her wedding day, and wow, did she exceed all expectations!

This wedding was incredible! Between the beautiful venue, perfect fall foliage, and lovely 60 degree temps, this day came together perfectly and it really made me so happy and grateful to be a part of this entire experience.

As Devon's dad said in his speech, she has envisioned her wedding day since she was about 5 years old, and I just want to thank Devon and Kevin for allowing me to come be a part of their dream. It was beautiful.

When you’re this in love, the photos just come naturally! 😏

Jessica and Andrew are high school sweethearts and their story is adorable!

Let’s talk about the patience Andrew displayed in his epic proposal to Jessica!!

Andrew knew he wanted to propose to Jessica for months! He asked for her mother’s blessing in August but the proposal didn’t happen until January!

His plan was so thought out and methodical! Jessica loves puzzles, so for Christmas (I believe it was) he bought jessica a 1000 piece puzzle and on the back of the puzzle it had a wedding website that ANDREW HAD BUILT!

Jessica took her good ole’ sweet time with putting the puzzle together and Andrew just waited patiently. She had many members of the family ask if she completed the puzzle and she was so confused as to why everyone was concerned about her puzzle.

It wasn’t until she completed it and went on the website when she finally understood what was happening.

If that doesn’t display Andrew’s patience in pursuing and loving Jessica, I don’t know what does! Such an incredible and beautiful story and I’m so happy to be capturing their love!

What a sweet family session this was!

Believe it or not, one hour before this session, it was pouring rain and hail, with almost black skies, and rolls of thunder, but we persisted with the photoshoot anyways! It turned out so beautiful.

I love all the candid moments of what a family session brings.

Family photography is truly one of my FAVORITE things to capture. I find nothing more beautiful.

So excited for the Moshogiani's family as they welcome baby number four, VERY soon!

From a high school couples photoshoot back in 2016, to later their engagement, to their wedding l, and now their maternity, kayla and Neil have trusted me to capture big life moments for years and years, and I’m so grateful to get to glimpse into the life of these two!!

I can’t wait to see these two as parents! Kayla is glowing, and not just from that incredible sunset!

One week ago, We celebrated the marriage of Ashley and Brian, and WOW what a day it was. Ashley and Brian had all sorts of weather to endure from a super rainy first look (not typically the situation, but we had just drove 10 minutes in the gold cart and these two still wanted to go for it in the rain...how amazing), to an AMAZING sunset! It was PERFECT! You can just feel the love from all in this video and I feel like its hard to even get past the first few moments without shedding a tear. Ashley's amazing mother Lucinda Miller-Puterbaugh HANDMADE Ashley's dress, (YES! You read that right! HAND MADE!) along with ALL THE FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS! How special is that?! Ashley's grandmother also contributed her talent in baking the beautiful cake. This family is so close knit and it was so amazing to capture this wonderful day for this incredible couple!
