In October of last year, I ventured into the city of Ontario for the SiteHouse Go+Live Event hosted by Promise Tangeman and her team of incredible talent. The moment I walked to the door I was greeted by two other lovely women in attendance and immediately replaced my nervousness with excitement about the launch of […]

It’s a fresh start to a 2014 and it seems like everyone is in the position of goal setting (and hopefully goal achieving). 🙂 When Val of Val Marie Paper asked me to put together a post for the New Year, I knew this was the topic I wanted to focus on. I’m also in the […]

The snowy setting of Millennium Park had me giddy before we even began shooting. I’ve only seen snow a few times in my life…so the idea of photographing a couple there was soooo exciting! Connie + Rolando live in the city but have never done a session before so it was a good time for […]

This little lady is a large ball of fire. Her giving and energetic spirit is contagious and I admire her will to just Get. Things. Done. <3 My first opportunity to work with Alyssa was for our Southern Styled Shoot featured on Ruffled Blog. I absolutely love styled shoots for this reason. I knew Alyssa […]

I’m not sure what gave us the crazy idea of shooting an outdoor session in the middle of summer…but I’m SO HAPPY WE DID! I recently had the privilege and the honor of working with several local vendors on a styled shoot. I try my best to schedule sessions for clients in the most beautiful […]

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of working with Erin England of It’s Your Time Events. She was so friendly and did a wonderful job of keeping things organized in a professional manner. Everything ran SO smoothly (even with a bit of rain and change of location) the day of Amanda + Chris’s […]

Couples spend countless hours planning every portion of their day. Every bride and every groom want a perfect, intimate, and special day to start the rest of their lives together. Choosing vendors is such an important part of that planning process. I even wrote a post recently with 7 TIPS for Finding Your Perfect Vendors because […]

When I first met Hannah, I had no idea I’d find a lifelong friend. Brad and I were talking recently about how cool it is that even in our late 20’s we’ve been able to meet people that have changed our lives. Hannah is one of these people. She is one of the hardest working […]

I was never a homebody. In fact, I would find excuses growing up of why I “had” to spend the night at my best friend Ryan’s house. Whether it was a school project, or preparing for homecoming, I found every reason possible! As I’ve gotten older, I find myself finding more reasons NOT to do […]
