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 […]

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.

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 […]

When I first met Catherine and Carl, it was over Skype one evening. Because of the distance we didn’t have the convenience of meeting in person, but over the course of an hour I had very quickly came to the realization that they are very much my type of people. These two care about each other beyond […]
