closeWatching families grow is one of the sweetest joys I have in my work. I shot Caeli and Nick’s engagement session, wedding, and their family as they have grown through the years. I just LOVE them and watching them be incredible parents.
They came to the studio for a mini session together and in between the laughs ( and some tears!) we got in some fun moments of sweet authenticity!
Fall is in the air! Here are the sneaks from all the sessions in the last two weeks! I LOVE seeing all of you and thanks for being patient as we edit through all of these sessions!!
SInce Alissa was born, I have been photographing this sweet family! What a joy it was to see their extended family and document them as they continue to grow! Looking for a photo of your extended family? I would love to connect!
What do you get when you take a new puppy, two adorable kids, fun parents and an incredible hand-made bee-hive play structure? The amazing and beautiful Hart family! Playing on a hot morning in the summer sun with their new pooch was such a joy for me! I hope to see them in years to come!
It’s been a busy week of sessions! Family sessions to Newborn sessions to weddings, I am loving it all! Summer is the perfect time for family photos, including photos with extended family! Bethany and her husband Brent are from Oregon, but we have connected over the past few years when they are visiting family to get in some family photos. I feel honored to be a part of their time and thankful to capture these sweet moments for all of them!
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!
