I just love seeing past clients, as well as old friends. Dan and Erin went to high school with me, and they are such a great and fun couple. It really is amazing to see their two sweet boys and realize we were kids together and now we have our own! Their extended family joined in with us and together we got a fabulous day with an amazing, colorful backdrop!












Ethan and Amy were destined for each other since the beginning. While hanging out with mutual friends, Ethan discovered a photo of Amy on Facebook. He inquired more about this girl within days the two were “friends”, chatting back and forth over things before actually deciding to go out on a date. They hit it off, as one of their mutual loves was Disney, and continued to find more and more similarities.
While on vacation with Ethan’s family in California, the two decided to go to Disneyland. After a full day of activities, Ethan found the perfect bench to rest on right outside of the castle. Wile waiting for fireworks and eating churros, Ethan asked Amy if she would be his wife. Cue fireworks and a huge yes!! After the fireworks, the two took the celebration one step further and rode Space Mountain!
Their September day was just beautiful. It was wonderful to celebrate with you two and I wish you many happy years of riding Space Mountain together!














And here is your slide-show!
A baby is a true miricle. From the first thought, to the cells connecting, the growth in utero, to finally the birth. And then goes the meeting and the learning. The first year is filled with wonder and amazing growth. It has been such an honor to be able to photograph Max from the thought of him, to birth, and months and months in between. I had the amazing joy of photographing this little man a few days after his birth to a few days after his year birthday.
Max, you are certinally a gift to your parents as well as those of us who know your story. We love you so much and can’t wait to see the man God has created you to be.









Wow- what an amazing one-year session! Beautiful shots- every one 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!
