The late winter weather tried as hard as it could to ruin Karley and Jimmy’s engagement session. We had finally found an available date for their crazy busy schedules to make their session work and of course an 80% chance of rain popped up.

I was so excited for Karlee and Bryant’s engagement session because it wasn’t the first time I had worked with them. I got to photograph them together for a Fall mini session last year and just adored every second of it! There isn’t much chance to break the ice at a mini session, but these […]

Calla really wanted a fall engagement session and I just did not want to disappoint her. Two days before their session was scheduled we got slammed with a snow storm. I thought for sure we would finally lose the last bit of leaves and she would have to settle for winter only. We postponed a […]

Jessica and Daniel are such a sweet couple. I would be lying if I said I didn’t swoon over all the adorable moments on their wedding day. Jessica is a teacher, so I just knew she would have everything so perfectly planned down to every last detail. She wore the most beautiful lace gown with […]

Olivia and Brayden’s engagement session was so special. I got to photograph them on the property where they will be holding their wedding ceremony and eventually one day building their dream home!
