Friends and family traveled from near and far to celebrate a gorgeous two-day affair with Liz and David. After meeting in Wisconsin the pair continued a long-distance relationship through their engagement until marriage. Celebrating with a two week honey-moon to Switzerland, no detail, small or large was forgotten. With one day dedicated to their sealing […]

There’s a “national” holiday for everything anymore. However, when I saw the National Dog Day going around on Instagram this morning I knew I had to participate. I am a sucker for dogs.  Old, young, plump, weird, hyper, you name it. I have acquired all the above over my lifetime, and as crazy as they […]

Today I decided to step away from work for a bit and enjoy some much needed time with my sweet old horse Frank because business is more than hustle…it’s the reason I’m able to do what I love. Beautiful sunlight, the smell of horses, and a glass of wine are the perfect end to any work […]

There is nothing I love more than delivering final wedding images to clients. It’s like Christmas.  I’ve teamed up with a few other small business owners both in my home state as well as online to create custom goodies and marketing materials to include in my boxes. I thought I’d take you through what I […]

A vision, warm evening light, incredible creatives coming together, and we have this. Inspiration for a summer-desert elopement. Enjoy.   None of the above would even be possible without a vision, trust, and cooperation from these amazing professionals. Thank you for making this shoot so fun, beautiful, and creative.

Summer weddings are some of my favorites. Sunset is at 9pm. Everything is lush and green. The downfall? It is TOASTY. Photographing a wedding is a lot of work. There is quite a bit of running around, many ninja moves, and not a lot of time for rest. Finding outfits that are both flattering for a female, […]
