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!
Being that they were musicians, it seemed only natural to put Hana at the piano to pound out a 9 month old tune. She continued smiling all the way through the shoot, and it made for a beautiful day! Happy Friday!
A month ago I spent the afternoon with a great friend of mine and her baby Max. I always love photographing babies. Max was smiling the afternoon away, especially when his mommy spoke. He was melting our hearts with his beautiful grin! Here are some we were able to capture that afternoon!
It is always such a joy to see previous clients! Nikkole and Troy were married back in 2007, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of their beautiful wedding day. Early November Kate arrived gracing the Zierden home with her presence. Coming early, she gave Nikkole and Troy a great surprise. She is tiny, beautiful, and already full of spunk! (What other 7 week old can hold up her head and look completely fashionable in a bomber hat?!) Thanks Zierdens for letting me into your home!
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!
