I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…engagement season is in full swing and it’s my FAVORITE time of year for that reason 🙂 Especially when it includes breathtaking destination engagement sessions like Kelley and Perry’s!! We have been planning this shoot for quite a few months and Kelley worked so hard to pick the location […]
Sometimes you meet with a client and you just click…and that’s exactly how it felt when I met Amanda at my studio for the first time!! We ended up talking for quite some time and I just loved her. I didn’t get a chance to meet D’Angelo until our engagement session last week…but I had […]

Sarah was so patient while she waited for her shoot this spring…and I am SO glad that she did!! We could not have had more beautiful blooms or better weather! All of the floral trees that […]
What a fun, full week on the blog! And, I can’t think of a better way to end it than with Meagan and Justin’s beautiful Fawn Lake engagement session!!! These two are some of the sweetest, most fun clients I’ve had the opportunity to work with this year and I was looking forward to getting […]
