Sydney & Thomas, I knew from the minute I met you two that I loved you. Your style, your love for each other and the simplicity of the peace you have together. You are both two of the most easy going and relaxed people I have ever met. I laughed, cried (happy tears, of course) and smiled for the […]

Kristin & Steven, Your day was full of so much joy. I knew we’d laugh together and I am just in love with how it felt to watch the two of you soak up every single moment you had on this very special day. The emphasis you put into having your day be a light […]

Joy. The word I would use to describe this couple would definitely be joy, pure joy. Meeting McCaela and Nick was like reminiscing with old friends you only get to see every once and a while, where every time things just pick up where they left off… They are genuine, full of laughter, and beautiful through and […]

Tori & John, It is ALWAYS an honor when family asks me to be the one to capture such sweet intimate moments, and your love story is no exception. All day we waited and prayed the rain away and I’m SO GLAD we did. The orange and red sunset sky at Linwood Park Beach painted a picture […]

It was so fun getting to see these again a couple of weeks ago while I was in town visiting my family in Cleveland, OH! We photographed the first half of their session while the cherry blossom trees were in bloom in the Wade Lagoon at the Cleveland Museum of Art this spring, and then we […]

I’m so excited to finally share such a beautiful collaboration!! Together with Tara Nicole Weddings we styled this gorgeous dream shoot and after all of the hard work and time spent, I don’t think the turn out could be more perfect. This editorial was inspired by […]

Alyssa & Ethan, The first thing I love about both of you is that you’re high school sweethearts. My husband and I being high school sweet hearts too, I understand the beautiful journey it’s taken you both to get where you are today. You’ve seen a lot already together, and you’ve grown together when others might […]

Anna & David, Your day was a dream. It was filled to the brim with joy! As a photographer I pray and hope for couples like you two. Putting Christ at the center of your marriage sets you up to continually grow in the love the Lord calls us into. The soft joy and peace […]

Lauren & Luke, I’ll start by saying I love you. Lauren, I have always loved you. In the times we’ve laughed, in the times we’ve cried, even in the times we’ve fought. I can’t tell you the joy it has brought me to have you as my little sister. I’ve had the pleasure of  being […]

This couple is so very dear to my heart. Kristin and I immediately clicked. I remember running to my car in the rain with no umbrella after meeting her and just thanking the Lord for the people he brings into my life. Kristin instantly felt like a friend I’ve known for years. I feel like she […]
