Jason and Heather’s fun pavilion wedding wasn’t stopped by a rainy day. We were able to sneak outside for pictures despite the on and off rain and the chilly weather. Jason is a youth pastor at a local church, so the couple promised their vows surrounded by their church families, and youth. It’s always fun […]

Wow, I honestly can’t believe that there are only a few more hours left in 2016! This year I was fortunate enough to document 22 weddings with my couples. I also went full time as a photographer in June. It’s not an easy decision to step out and run your own business as your main gig. […]

2016 Weddings in Review

Penelope Jane arrived in time for Christmas this year. Her nursery looked like it was straight out of pottery barn. Her plush blankets and fuzzy white carpet made great backdrops for photos. Penelope was alert and merry the entire session. Newborn sessions like this warm my heart. For me, newborn sessions are probably one of the […]
