I have the greatest clients!  Today I’m incredibly grateful for adventurous couples who are willing to hike & climb … yes even in that amazing Show me your Mumu dress … for the shot.  If I could only give 1 tip to every bride, it is to find a photographer who you trust & connect with.  I’m a true believer that trust in any relationship is crucial.  As a bride, when you trust your photographer completely, it allows them to be inspired & fully immerse themself in the creative process.

How adorable is this family??!!  My favorite thing about photographing kids is making the session as interactive as possible to showcase their personalities.  As soon as they arrived, Noah & Zoey went straight for the tee pee, & immediately climbed in & started posing.

Let them eat cake.  Sometimes we all need a little extra motivation to get through a photo shoot.  So the cake not only served as a great prop for Logan’s first birthday photos but also as a great bribe to encourage him & his brother to smile at the camera.

This woman is exceptional.  She is smart, she is talented & she has the biggest heart.  I can honestly say that my life is better because of her.  I couldn’t be happier to see my beautiful friend engaged to such an amazing man who makes her so incredibly happy.

Life has a beautiful way of reconnecting people.  I’ve known this beautiful Mama since I was in elementary school.  We lost touch for several years, but reconnected recently & I’m so grateful we did.  Meet my friend Amanda, her husband Andy & their beautiful daughters.

“You are NOT a nature girl, are you??!!”  If I’m being entirely honest, I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to bugs, unknown rustling in bushes & creepy critters.  However I think this road trip taught me to be a bit more of a “nature girl”.
