I’ve debated whether or not to share this story for a long time… two years in fact. Mostly I chose not to share it publicly because there was no happy ending and I didn’t want to talk negatively about the photography industry or this individual (also I bemoaned about it so much to my friends […]

The Florida Photoshoot Redemption

A friend recently handed me a book and told me she thought I should read it. The chapters include titles like ‘Life Is Uncontrollable’, ‘Life Is Wearisome’, ‘Life Is Unhappy’ and ‘Life Is Grievous’*. While it might sound like a bleak book, it is exactly the book I needed this February. Reading it has been […]

February is for Remembering and Grieving

When I met Ben and Brooke for their engagement session, I knew their wedding would be a blast. They are such a genuine and fun couple to hang out with. It is no wonder to me that they have such a large group of very dear friends. Getting to see Brooke get more and more […]

Illuminated by Love and Fireworks | Ben + Brooke’s Beautiful Outdoor Wedding

After capturing my sister’s wedding last summer, you’d think that having a sibling get married wouldn’t be too emotional for me… but for whatever reason, watching William get married was so sentimental and sweet and emotionallllllllll.

Sweet Sarah had caught her twin sister, Rachel’s, wedding bouquet on June 18, 2022 during […]

Bridal Twins: 51 weeks, Two Weddings, Infinite Memories | Sarah + Eli’s Eagle Eye Wedding

Our story is tied to Josiah and Annika’s story, starting more than eight years ago! Our wedding, much […]

Sacred Charm and Enduring Love | Josiah + Annika’s Lansing Wedding at a Historic Church

I met Erin ten years ago when I was her camp counselor (yes, the same camp where I met Xavier and where my sister met her husband) so when my brother Will started talking about dating her, I was super excited! Erin has jumped right into our family with goofiness, volleyball skills, and a heart […]
