Woof. Not the cute dog kind though. This wedding season- this year really- has absolutely kicked my ass. I have lost multiple friendships because people kept taking advantage of my kindness, I have struggled mightily to find reliable second shooters, I have had so many issues with random health things, and tomorrow we face the most important election of all of our lifetimes. All of these things make me want to create positive change in my own life, and they have led me to a few conclusions that are going to shape my business going forward:

1)I am going to be thanking God a lot more for the things he does for me. I do not have a traditional church background- I learned what I know through private research and study and I am extremely critical of the mainstream "christian" churches. I LOVE talking abut God, I want to share that with people, but I have held back for years because I was afraid of alienating people that the church likes to be hateful towards. But I also firmly believe I can be an example of a loving, genuine, accurate Christian and do so by openly supporting and loving everyone. So if you feel like you're in the same boat, we should talk! I am planning to start a bible study group after the holidays.

2) I am only offering one package for photography because I thrive on simplicity and clarity.

3) I am only going to be offering photography moving forward. I will have video as an add-on with an associate team, but I will not be offering it myself.

4) I am no longer hiding my political affiliation out of fear that it will hurt my business. It might, but I don't care. I can get a job anywhere anytime, I am not ashamed of any work that is honest work, so loss of income is not something I am going to fear. For me, politics are a direct reflection of how God wants me to treat other humans. With love .

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk lol. I can't wait to see what God has in store!

Selling my Canon 6D Mark II!

• $950 OBO— these retail at $1999 new, so this is a great deal!
• barely used, only at 11% shutter count
• was a backup but I literally never use it so I thought I should let someone else get some use from it!
• will come with a strap, a battery and charger, and I believe I still have the box and the manual too!
• option to add on a 50mm 1.4 lens for $250 if you need one!

Allie + Hunter | September 7th, 2024

What a wonderful day this was! Perfect weather, bagpipes, a gorgeous golden sunset, the most stunning bride and groom, and so much love. Not only are Allie and Hunter the kindest people ever, but their families were also so welcoming and wonderful as well! And the SPEECHES- those were incredible, hilarious, and heartfelt. Some of my favorites I’ve ever heard. It was just an awesome day all around and I am so glad I got to help them remember it!

I cannot even say enough sweet, wonderful things about this wedding. Shiela and Lee had a small family affair with all of their closest loved ones and when I say it was a highlight of my year- I absolutely mean it. It was so beautiful to see these lovely people join their families together in such an intimate setting, and it made me so thankful this is the kind of “work” I get to do.

Please hire me to capture these kinds of memories for you. Getting to be a part of such a meaningful step in peoples’ lives is something I don’t take for granted and will always be so grateful for. And to everyone that has worked with me- I love you guys! Thank you for allowing me to do this wonderful thing ❤️

Kids, man. They just being an energy to celebrations unlike anyone else. Plus they are always down for a fun shot. Or jumping off of something. Or rolling down a hill. Or just general chaos😂 it’s so great and I love finding ways to incorporate that excitement into photos!

Hey friends!

I am looking for some referrals for weddings, family sessions, senior sessions, etc. I am trying to get some bookings on the calendar for 2025 and to fill out the rest of 2024. If you know someone needing photos at all - real estate, pet photos, mini sessions- I am offering all of my sessions that come to me via a referral a $50 discount. Weddings will have a percentage discount based on the type of package.

AND!!! I am also going to do a $100 gift card giveaway to everyone that refers someone to me! If the new client mentions they were referred by someone, I will enter their name into a drawing for the gift card!

Thanks in advance friends for the referrals! I know so many of you already drop my name all the time, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

Thanks friends!

With a deep love for all things romantic and real, I founded Two Birds Media in 2011. Since then I've  had the honor of photographing over 150 couples through engagement, elopement, and wedding photography.

One of the best things about being a photographer is getting to reconnect with people I used to work with! Lauren was one of my coworkers when I worked at the cinema. We haven;t seen each other in years, but when she reached out about family portraits I was so excited! A few highlights of this beautiful session:

- Mr. & Mrs. DeWitt had that fire 🔥 and dang did they light up these photos!
- Lauren's sister, her husband, and their baby were here all the way from IRELAND!! 🇮🇪
- There were dogs. Super cute, happy dogs!
- There was so much love evident in every single photo. 🩷
- Did I mention there were dogs?? 🐶

I had the pleasure of capturing Johnathan's surprise proposal to Brooke last weekend! We did some photos after their sweet engagement became official, and I have to say, I think Mission Point really showed out for them! It was such a beautiful day. And also, LOOK AT THAT RING! These two have STYLE and I am in love with these photos! (Again, sorry for the yucky social media cropping!)

I abhor the Instagram/Facebook required crop, but even though these are not in their original aspect ratios, I mean, COME ON! Look at Emma's gorgeous face! She absolutely nailed these senior portraits! Talk about aesthetic- this girl made every frame look effortless.

You are never too old to have a pink, Barbie birthday bash! And also, why aren;t we all dressing up in fancy outfits and taking photos with our best girlfriends more often?? I think Kaitlyn is on to something here. These ladies brought the drama and I LOVE IT! 🩷
