Welcome back to Monday! I am already feeling like my summer is over with the amount of shoots and wedding I have on my plate for fall, but thankfully this weekend made me remember that summer is still here with its heat index’s and high temps!! Here are a few from my last week!! Happy Monday!
Kyle and Christi
Longballa Family
Sweet baby E!
Your family is such that it ebs and flows through the various joys and trials of life. It is a unit that grows as time goes on and adds life and laughter. I am SO blessed to be able to capture these moments, especially for those where I am able to photograph engagements, weddings, pregnancy, new babies and celebrating years of marriage! The Anderson family is just one of the families I have been a bystander to document those ever changing life events!!
Bed bouncing, laughter, mommy kisses and daddy hugs made this sweet spring session so unbelievably wonderful for me to get a sneak peek on this beautiful family!
This family!! They make me smile because Sarah, believe it or not, was actually my boss at one point in time!! Being the great boss that she was, she was super easy and friendly to talk to and after both of us headed in different directions, social media kept us close! From when her first baby was born until now, I have been able to see her pretty much on a yearly basis, which I wish was more, but I’ll take it!!
One thing I absolutely LOVE about my job is seeing the same people year after year. I have been so lucky to have been photographing the Sharbono’s since their oldest was a year old. Seeing families grow and change is such a perk of the job, while I feel like I am not aging (an neither are the parents!) the kids just seem to keep getting older and sweeter; the Sharbono’s are no exception!
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!
