Let’s take a peek behind the scenes and dive into what goes into a photographer’s turnaround time. Full disclosure: this applies only to me and my business, but I do tie in the practices of others to give you a sense of why everyone has different turnaround times. You will find that just like any business, all photographers choose to run their businesses differently.
Read MoreI am so excited to share this session with you all. When I first started talking to Autumn and was getting to know Blake and her’s story, my heart completely melted for the two of them. And then when I met them in person for the first time this past Tuesday for their Engagement session, it was clear to me that they were truly meant for one another.
Read MoreWhen I first started my business, I used to get asked a lot if I would be willing to give my RAW files to a client. They thought that maybe it would give them a discount if they didn't need the photos edited along with a variety of other reasons. But this is something that I have been against since day one. I never liked the idea of handing out unedited photos for a few reasons, and this is why;

I knew he was the one for me when I realized that we’d spent every single day together since our first date. It was a couple weeks since our first date (which was a Starbucks date lol) and it just hit me that we’d not spent a single day without seeing one another. I just realized then that he was my absolute best friend and that I wanted to spend all my time with him. We just got along so well and he just made life so much more fun and exciting.
When I tell people that I am a family photographer, many people often comment that it must be so hard to photograph unwilling 2 years olds. While 2 year olds often have their own idea about how the session should go, I love their energy and am always happy to let them take the lead and follow along in a playful way.
You know which member of the family is the often the hardest? Dads.
Read MoreThe birth of Asher was one of the most eventful births that I have attended. His Mom and Dad were more than ready to meet this beautiful little boy however Asher was comfortable in his mother’s womb. After a week over his due date, an induction was planned. We waited and waited for things to process and finally at 4:30am the following morning, I was called to be at the hospital. Once I arrived, within 30 minutes Asher’s mother began pushing.

Read MoreBelow is a recent Intimate Motherhood Session that I had with Jessica and Ellie in my new at home studio. I absolutely love how these moments turned out and am so grateful for Jessica, who helped me create a gallery to show clients the images I would love to capture for mothers. Your babies will not be babies forever and each day they grow and change, way to fast for our hearts to bare. Their hands might not fit into yours the way they do today and those little details of daily life are so fleeting. That is why I am so passionate with photography, no matter what type of session I am helping to document, the real, raw, emotional, organic moments that make you and your loved ones special is what I love to focus on and preserve forever.
Read MoreIf you are engaged, I am so excited for you! Congratulations on this special time for you and the love of your life. The engagement season can be one of the happiest and most daunting all in one. So what do you do now? Where do you even start? I’ve been in the wedding industry for almost four years now and being a past bride myself I’ve come up with a few tips to dive in!
Read MoreGuess what friends, slow season is here and to be honest, I have a love/hate relationship with it! For most photographers, the winter months mean a lot less inquiries and emails and appointments to manage. Fall is typically such a crazy time as well as trying to schedule in those Christmas Card photos and many photographers look forward to those quiet, slow days where we can recover from ‘busy season’.
However, as most entrepreneurs, we must stay busy and after a few weeks (days, or maybe even hours!) of the slow life, we start wondering if anyone will ever hire us again, where everyone went, and just WHAT ON EARTH are we supposed to do with all of this TIME?!
I am here with fifteen ideas for things to keep you super busy during that slow season. Because if you are working ON your business during the times you aren’t working IN your business, there should never be a ‘SLOW’ season, just seasons for different parts of running your photography business! Right?
Read MoreWhen Dalton & Breanna arrived to the Tree Farm, we had just a few minutes of sunlight left & it was perfect. Dalton looked a little nervous which was so sweet & Breanna had no clue! She was just ready to have some Christmas Tree Farm photos taken, not even aware that such a special moment was about to happen. The day your future husband proposes to you, it’s a day you will never ever forget. So hiring a professional to photograph/video your special moment is worth the investment. Let me tell you why.
Read MoreThere are many reasons why it is nice to have a permanent photographer that’ll cover and shoot all your family events and photos.
You need a photographer that you can entrust these moments too and be assured of quality. A lifetime photographer that will always be there, never disappoints, and is consistent such a blessing!!
Read MoreIt is a testimony that coming forward rather than bottling your pain up will give you your life back. That sharing your story, will inspire others to share theirs. You can go through absolute hell and come out the other side perhaps not unscathed but stronger than you were before you ever went in.
Read MoreBen + Allison’s love is pure and beautiful. It was literally like hanging out with two best friends who just so happen to be madly in love with one another. You can not get much better than that, am I right? Since Ben used to work at the Distillery, we got a super awesome private tour of the place. I have never been to a Distillery before so I felt super cool to be able to get this awesome tour AND snap some photos in the location. This was so much fun and was the perfect unique location for these two.
Read MoreYou know what I love about weddings the most? Every single love story is unique. It’s personal. There is no other couple in this world that shares the same story or connection, as you do with your spouse. Being able to witness the beginning of a new season in a couple’s life and documenting their love story as it naturally unfolds before me is such an honor.

We love our little country & busy life.
