i’m a sucker for a good storm…thunder, lightning, & falling rain somehow soothe my soul. i took a quick video of the spring storm we had here this morning & thought i’d take the opportunity to make a little post out of it.  :) make sure you turn your sound up so you can hear [...]

Another one of my favorite parks is Quail Ridge Park…i love how simple & beautiful it is all year round.  These two sweeties chose to keep it nice & simple – with a few fun, personal extras as you’ll see.  We were kind of hoping for a nice sunny day, so we could get that [...]

Sure, I may have shot this engagement session last fall…but since they are getting married next weekend I thought now would be a good time to revisit their beautiful romp in the park.  haha  :) I absolutely LOVE Oak Knoll Park…it is beautiful all year round! But I gotta say, autumn may be my favorite [...]

Every moment I’ve been able to spend with them has been so fun & inspiring!  Since I haven’t blogged about their perfect High Hill Engagement Session, I’ll show one of my faves here, just because I can. I feel like I’ve known Chris & his family for a long time, since I photographed his sister’s [...]

I am SO EXCITED to finally share these photos with you! This past January I had the opportunity to join a bunch of ladies for a Pursuit 31 conference/retreat in Oregon – what an incredible experience!  Not only did I get to have an excuse to fly to Portland & visit a dear old friend [...]

What’s this, another adorable engagement session?  Why yes, yes it is!  ;) These two cuties go to my church & I was so thrilled when Vanessa contacted me about capturing their much anticipated June wedding!  Both of them are attending separate colleges full time & working too – from what I gathered, they only get [...]

Matt & Kristin were one of my couples (okay, maybe it was mostly Kristin) that really wanted to do snowy engagement photos this year.  I’m totally shocked that we got such a small amount of snow this year.  Seriously, last year I felt like I was never warm & the snow just kept coming – it [...]

This morning I had the rare, yet fun oportunity to be up way before the sun…why is it that being up that early always reminds me of Europe?  I’m not sure if it’s because you do a lot of traveling in the early hours of the day when on european adventures.  Or maybe because you’re [...]

This is my cousin Craig & his beautiful bride Christine – bouncing baby Bruce will be along shortly, adding lots of joy & many more sweet moments to this family i’m sure. it was such a fun treat for me to capture these sweet moments in what i think is one of the most beautiful seasons of [...]

Here’s a little taste of some fun I got to have with Allison for her senior portraits… ..it was so refreshing! Not only was this park beautiful but Allison has this contagious light-heartedness about her that kept a smile on my face the whole time.  I  had never been to Castlewood Park before, but she knew her [...]
