At a wedding this past fall, I sat at the same table as Sarah and Matt. We chatted and actually had a great conversation between toasts, dancing and wedding photos. So when she contacted me to do a family session, I was thrilled. Her kids were so willing to try anything, running up and down hills, laying in the grass and spinning in circles. What a blast I had seeing all of them!
Tis the season for family. And spending time with extended family! How I love seeing the Anderson family each year and seeing how their kids are growing. Summer always seems to be a perfect time to do photos and this time around Centennial Lakes was a perfect location.
I am loving my one year old sessions these days. So many sweet families like the Young family!Sarah came to me with a few ideas, and they did not disappoint! We had a perfect June evening and even a four leaf clover! What a perfect night!
I have had the great joy of photographing the Luong family for the past year as Addie has grown. Photographing her as she turned one was so much fun. Rachel had picked out so many cute items for the session as well as making her a smash cake. Keep scrolling to see what she did with the cake, you won’t be disappointed! Happy Birthday Addie!
This past month has been crazy. I have been editing, blogging, e-mailing and then momm-ing. Piano after school, Soccer and baseball collided but we couldn’t do either because of an end of the year program at church! Just laughing my way into bed thinking about how busy May always is! Anyone else feel this way about their schedules?! Please send someone to help me say no….
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
