You know, things just sometimes don’t go to plan. These two just didn’t let anything get in their way for their wedding day, not Covid and especially not the mosquitos! Jeanette and Brian were married along side a handful of their family and friends in the woods behind their home. A small linen covered table […]

This family did not let the rain stop them for their portrait session! Hooray!!! Bobby, Lauren and their little love decided on Botanical Gardens for their session due to the rain. I can’t even handle how adorable their portraits turned out. Take a look!   We strolled through the different greenhouses and stayed warm! There […]

You guys! I was chatting the other day with some colleagues of mine. Our main topic was the fall weather. The terribly rainy days and the cold wind force us to reschedule. We had all agreed that having to cancel our scheduled portrait sessions is one of the hardest parts about being outdoor portrait photographers. […]

The smell of glue, the crinkle of the plastic protecting the images. My mother used to yell at me EVERY time I would go […]

There is nothing I love more than driving along the side of back roads and finding a portrait location that I NEED to use. This location has been on my radar for a few years now and I am so happy that I finally got a chance to use it! What a dream it was. […]

I’m not sure I have ever laughed as hard during a portrait session as I did with these girls! There is something to be said about a family who can naturally laugh and joke with each other. They are doing it right! Rachel and Ian are molding their girlies into confident, unique young women. It […]
