What’s not to love about a little boy? What about two little boys!!?! This little guy was so excited for his little brother to join him in the world, and I was so thrilled to be able to photograph them all in these early days.

I just LOVE the sweetness of a new baby. Thankfully I continue to get my fix from OTHER people’s children! Sweet Evelyn was so wonderful for her first shoot. She slept the entire way through and hardly made a peep! Her head of hair was amazing as were her itty-bitty everything else! 









I absolutely love when families incorporate their pets into photos, but honestly, with a newborn that can sometimes be so hard. But THIS DOG blew me out of the water. I was in awe the way Nacho watched over his sweet Zane as it it were his own puppy, (maybe he thought it was?!) Big props to his parents who trained him well and created this honey of a baby! I was so blessed by all of them and their love for one another!!







Love, love, love this family!! When I received word that a new baby boy would be added to this family I was overjoyed. Not only is he blessed by amazing parents, his extended family is just as amazing!! I met the Green’s in studio for some photos of all of them and baby Wes only a week old!! Can’t wait to watch him grow along side his brothers!!

I have to tell you, this weekend was incredibly emotional for me. Not only was I incredibly blessed to hang out for 24 hours with my college girlfriends and connect with them, hear their stories and what they have been through in life, I also visited one of my best friends from high school and photographed her miracle baby. In addition I photographed a daddy returning home to his family after months serving our country. My heart is incredibly full!


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!
