Last Saturday was the perfect fall day;  the air was a bit crisp, we had a quick passing shower (well really a downpour, but it was quick), and color shimmered everywhere in the trees. It was the day I met my new friends, Anthony and Lauren.  And this is why I love what I do […]

In one day, last Saturday, I was blessed to photograph a couple I’d never met before, and also a couple I’ve known since they are running around the middle school. Alexis and Jordan were both Allen County kiddos, and they are perfect for each other.  I say this a lot, but it feels like just […]

Sierra and Noah lived within a few miles of each other for years and had no clue the other existed. But that small problem has now been remedied, and the future Mr. and Mrs. Shirley are busy planning a wedding these days.  It all goes to show that we simply have no clue what or […]

To say I was thrilled to do this session for Macy and Lake would be an understatement. Their laughter lifted my soul and stayed with me long after they were gone last Saturday.  When you find your forever, the laughter just seems a little sweeter, a little freer. (I think that’s a word.)   Lake knows […]

Your engagement session should reflect who you are as a couple, the things important to you, and be in a location you love. And that’s Kaylee and Tyler’s session to a T.  They wanted to do their engagement photos on Tyler’s family farm.  If you follow my work much, you know that nothing makes me […]

It’s about to happen. Andrew is going to marry the girl who stole his heart and won’t give it back. They met at an engineer camp at UK. And how about the possibility that out of all the participants at the camp, these two ended up in the same group. They built a cardboard boat […]

It’s fall in Kentucky, and that beauty is outshined only by Megan and Dalton’s happiness. Reds, orange, yellow and the prettiest melons take our breath, but last Thursday was cool and rainy. In fact, we waited until 1:30 to make a final decision about doing their engagement session.  It’s frustrating when you have to reschedule […]

I can’t even explain how happy it makes me to see this beautiful couple’s joy! I’ve known them both since middle school. Caroline reminded me that I left her class mid year to go to the school counselor position. That seems another lifetime ago, and now both she and Kyle are making their way in […]

At first glance, it’s easy to see that Sara and Moses make the perfect couple. What comes at the second glance, the one you have to gave a couple of extra seconds to see, is that they are both simply amazing people. Their kindness and open hearts made doing this session one of my biggest […]
