When I first met Lauren, I was photographing her and her three younger sisters for a surprise gift for her mom. I was delighted that her mom loved the portrait of her daughters so much that she asked me to photograph Lauren’s senior photos later in the spring. Of all the photography that I do, […]

I wrote this a couple days ago but have been so busy getting hyped for Thanksgiving that I’m just now posting here. Anyway, here goes! 🙂 As I sit here typing in my new home office, trying to ignore the stacks of boxes around me waiting to be unpacked, thinking about the shower that’s clogged, […]

Rachelle and Tom met at a church conference, when he passed her a little Post-it® doodle, something for which he is well known amongst friends for creating.

Brandon and I became friends a couple months ago when I was on campus for a […]

I always share my wedding galleries with vendors for their own portfolio use, and that was how I connected with Sarah at Calla. We started talking about doing a styled shoot to showcase some of their 2016 gowns, and a […]
