I was SO excited when this gorgeous couple contacted me to do their photos-how cute are they?! Not only are they adorable, one of the first things Erin said to me was “We’re more than happy to try out any new locations or ideas you have in mind!” That is the BEST thing for a photographer […]
This week has been a long one…I spent Monday afternoon at a lacrosse tournament to support my little brother but wound up bed-bound starting Monday evening with the stomach flu-UGH. I spent almost five whole days in bed before I finally started feeling better…it was awful! But, on Friday, when I got out of bed and […]

Lena was the lucky winner of my instagram “snow session” giveaway a few months back! Luckily, we woke up with just the right amount of snow and we were able to go do her session! But let me tell you…it was FREEEEEEZING! Absolutely frigid. Our hands practically froze off! Lena absolutely rocked it and I […]
These two girls have one of the strongest friendships I have EVER seen. Alexis has just overcome a long battle with leukemia and watching Sydney be right by her side through her entire journey was truly inspiring. I photographed these two girls in June, while Alexis was still battling leukemia, and their friendship has done […]
