We met Jon + Brittany earlier this summer, and have been planning and waiting for this session for months! It’s so much fun for Denton and I to get to meet our couples. For us, photographing an engagement session and/or wedding isn’t just a job, and our couples are not just clients. I know that […]

This anniversary session has been a long time in the making! 20 years, to be precise 🙂 I don’t know what to even write about this session! I’m not even finished editing the whole session, and I’m still speechless 😀 I mean, once you start looking at the pictures, you’ll know what I mean. We […]

We are so proud of Ian. Denton and I are in this specific age range where we’re not quiet old enough to be his parents, but we’re not young enough to be his siblings… so we get the special distinction of being his friends. This past year was a difficult one, as it has been […]

As Abbie’s daddy took his place for his first look with his daughter, I backed away to set my camera. As I looked up, he was already wiping his eyes. The sun was bright, it was a hot summer day, but the fact was- he was about to see his little girl as a bride […]

  There have been countless seniors that I have had the privilege to work with and document their final year as they are making that momentous transition from school years to adulthood, yet it Always amazes me how, despite going through the same school year and the same transition, they all so strikingly stand out […]
