When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your caseI could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love Well this wedding was certainly a surprise. When I hear the words “backyard wedding”, the first word I tend to think first is never “sophisticated” but wow! The decor […]

“Will you stay with me, will you be my loveAmong the fields of barleyWe’ll forget the sun in his jealous skyAs we lie in fields of gold” Alyssa’s only requirement for her engagement session was that it was at a field. As someone who grew up basically in the country, and currently living 5 minutes […]

“You knowI wish that I had Jessie’s girlI wish that I had Jessie’s girlWhere can I find a woman like that” Even as I was still photographing this wedding, I KNEW it was going to be a special one. The details were on point–soft pink gowns, lace details, navy suits, and gold glitter–but it was […]

“The prairie blows the grassesAnd whips the horse’s mane.They travel, horse and rider,Through the sea of amber grain.“–Ivy Schex Wow, just wait until you see the beautiful light I found with Abbey Lynn and her pony Cookie during our senior portrait session in Saxonburg, PA. This whole session was incredible! But what would you expect […]

Clear your schedules, folks.This is a good one. Lifestyle photography refers to documenting a typical “day in the life” of a family in a beautiful way. The idea is to look back on these days in 40 years and be able to remember that moment as it truly was. Whenever I look at photos of myself […]

Funny story about this one…I booked this wedding because Jillian and Mike’s original photographer got pregnant and could no longer shoot it.

[…]

If I had to describe my ideal clients, I might as well just describe Taryn, Bryan, and their families. Oftentimes I talk about befriending my bride as a way to help let their guards down and “get in their circle” to immerse myself in their wedding day, which in turn, helps me create the best […]

This is the quintessential down-home, small-town USA senior portrait session I’ve done. And it’s one of my favorites to date. Meet Bre.She loves Converse, has the most perfect freckles, and she cannot keep a straight face. Truly. Joy simply beams out of her, and any attempt at the “serious look” resulted in a few cracks […]

“Did we just become best friends??” “YUP!” The fastest way to get on my good side is to quote movies and love dogs. Kendy and I bonded on both nearly instantly. I cannot wait for your wedding at the end of the month! In the meantime, enjoy a collection of my favorite images from their […]
