I looked out the window as the speedometer needle lowered.  The view was terrifyingly beautiful.  I could feel my heart quicken as I tried to meander my way through the mountain roads.  When I arrived and got out of the car, the warm summer air took me by surprise.  I heard the sweetest voice as […]

The 2nd styling with Sam shoot was last week, and oh mylanta was it perfection.  I spent months planning and being picky over details for this shoot.  I wanted it to stand out from the norm in styled wedding shoots, and I am so happy to say that I did just that with the help […]

The drive was far, but not the farthest.  We had the radio and AC on blast, and the highway was flying by.  I was getting those nervous but excited butterflies that I get before every wedding.  I had never met Amanda or Isaac minus a call we shared and a string of emails.  I knew […]

“He’s so wholesome”.  Even though it may have been a joke or lack of better adjectives, after spending time with Adam and Leah I think that wholesome is a great word to describe their love for one another.  We met on a warm sunny evening, the light hit all of  the trees in the most […]

Have you ever looked at a big, happy family and just thought to yourself, “I would love to see that many smiles every day”? I know for a fact that I have, and spending time with this family on such a beautiful day really solidified that for me. Rick and Katie blended these two families […]

I woke up April 28th way earlier than I normally would.  I was filled with jitters and excitement and so much energy.  It was still dark out but I jumped in the shower and pulled out my favorite wedding day dress.  The first wedding of the season always has a special spark to it, and […]

I love Fridays.  Not because they are the start of the weekend, but because everyone is always in such a good mood! I want to take this amazing day and tell you about some of the behind the scenes work and moments that were part of the first workshop! When I was putting together the […]
