These days typically when I get an inquiry for senior portraits I pass them along to one of my friends who does them as a more official part of their business…weddings and couples portraiture is truly my passion, so as I’ve started booking for 2014 I’m devoting most of my time to the brides who have chosen me to capture their special day…but every so often I get an inquiry from a senior who I’m just really excited to work with! Emilee is one of those girls that lights up a room and radiates a true inward beauty. Her confidence in who she is makes other’s feel more confident and beautiful too..and she’s just so

On Annie and Jonathan’s wedding day it poured down rain as I drove up Interstate 95…I was praying hard that it would stop by the time I arrived at the church where they were getting married, and it did just that! I was amazed! You could barely tell that it had rained and the room where Annie was getting ready was full of excitement as her mom and sweet friends put the finishing touches on her makeup and then helped her get into her dress…The feeling I get at the beginning of a wedding day is always the same…it’s a overwhelmed with joy kind of feeling that can only come from

It’s September (can you believe it??) and that means that Fall is coming and I couldn’t be more excited! The fact that the seasons are changing means that the Fall wedding season has started and I’ll be swapping out my sundresses for scarves and iced coffees for cappuccinos…and I can’t wait to go apple picking with friends or for the holidays to be here! This is the start of my favorite time of year! But the fact that the seasons are changing also means that time is flying by…Do you let time slip through your hands too? Do you forget to savor the little joyful moments that happen everyday? I do. I forget to

I first met these two back in March on a cold rainy/snowy day which resulted in one of my favorite engagement sessions to date! Well, the weather on their wedding day was the exact opposite but it was just as beautiful…It was sunny and hot, and somehow everyone managed to look perfect all day!

The whole wedding day was so full of love…their friends and family traveled from great distances to be a part of their special day and it was so evident that everyone was excited that they were finally getting married!…Doug is a fun loving guy
