I’m reminded of Charles Dickens writing long ago when he said, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” And even when times are tough, love still lives. Weddings bells still ring, and joy and laughter still manage to sneak into our hearts. This was definitely the case last Friday afternoon […]

Well, I don’t even know where to begin with this blog, because it’s extra special to me. The joy and happiness that Whitley and Justice share is as pretty as the ring he put on her finger a few weeks ago. They are absolute proof that love catches you off guard, and turns you inside […]

Don’t let the golden light that literally wraps around Zoe and JD fool you; Friday was COLD. It seems like every session I’ve had in 2020 has been super chilly. But let me tell you, this couple is AMAZING. They followed me all through Mennonite country to some beautiful locations and were still going strong […]

—-Last May, Ty planned their proposal down to a light X on the spot where he would stand to get the perfect photo. And Addie cried.  I’ve quickly learned that this is just how Ty is. He loves this beautiful, driven, and talented young lady and he put beautiful ring on her finger. It’s crazy […]

Grant and Brittany met before they met. That’s what Grant said when I asked how they found each other. He immediately had my undivided attention. And isn’t it amazing how that happens so often?  You have known each other forever, and then suddenly it happens. You SEE each other, and something happens. Something that requires […]

John and Denise opened the book that held the next chapter of their life last Saturday.  And they did so with laughter, love, and a few tears. The Davis wedding was beautiful and so sentimental in multiple ways. I will forever be amazed that Denise’s Aunt Patty was able to read a beautiful poem in […]
