Brandon has definitely changed in the course of a year and a half. It was great to meet up with his family again and photograph his changes. What a great and active 2 year old he is, and I love it!!

Happy Monday to you all! After a wonderfully fun weekend of shooting, I am excited to share one of the 3 events I photographed this weekend. (The other two coming after they are published with their organization!) Hope your weekend was relaxing and wonderful!!

I love photographing toddlers. Who needs the gym when I can spend an afternoon chasing and photographing them!! Little Olive was no exception, being in a new environment kept her busy enough for me to catch her in her element, much different than her first session at only a few days old. She is energetic, happy and beautiful!





I just adore the Sharbonos. Completely down to earth, fun, and radiant. I have been photographing their kids since they were babies, and I look forward to seeing them every year. Justin is an amazing and gifted musician and worship leader (check out on of his amazing songs here) and Rebecca continues to amaze me as she hold down the house when her hubby is gone and works at their church. We had a great morning and energetic time doing their photos, I can’t wait to see them again!




I could not get enough of this little man! I photographed his cousin back in December, and he was just as adorable. He smiled throughout the entire session giving me nothing but beautiful and easy shots of him. Such a sweetie!




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!
