He was leaving for three months. Joining the Army was something Nate had always wanted to do, but leaving his family wasn’t. As his three year old Alivia danced around him joyously admiring him, kissing him, and loving on him. I couldn’t help but get a little teary. The sacrifices that our Army men and women make to keep our country safe is unbelievable. Nate and Jeana, thank you for your sacrifices. You are a family worth looking up to.
It was so great to see some clients, turned friends, again. The last time I photographed this crew, Aubrey was not so happy, this time she was all smiles! The Linder family was celebrating Aubrey’s first year and Sophia’s 3rd year. Grandma and cousins came to celebrate as well. It was a joy to see all of them again!
Since she was 3 months old, I have photographed this unbelievable cutie! She hit two this week and as many say, I can’t believe how she has grown and how fast time has flew!
“We have cake, ” was one of the first comments to come out of his mouth. A few days before, the Williams family celebrated Sam’s first birthday. With only 13 months between the boys, many mistake these two for twins. But as it was today, the cake two year old Jack was talking about was for his younger brother. “And we get to eat it, ” Jack finished. After a few rounds around the house, a trip outside, some playing, some smashing and smearing, he did get a piece of Sam’s cake. The side that had not been totally destroyed!
LOVE the last picture of the frosted feet! So cute!
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!
