Liz & Mark told me right off the bat that they were awkward and that it was going to be a challenge for me to photograph them.  I hear this a lot, and always try to reassure people that the first 10-15 minutes will feel weird and then it gets easier… LOL Um, no, you […]

Two doggie engagement sessions in a row for me! Love the pups. Hannah, Travis and I met at Earthbound Brewery on Cherokee Street for a quick drink to kick things off. I had never been – it is a cool tiny little shotgun space! Apparently they are moving so I’m glad we got to document […]

Ahhhh…today is my first day back at the studio after vacation. Steve and I traveled to Hawaii to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary and it was fabulous! I told him that it felt weird to celebrate something that makes me so happy. I feel like you are supposed to celebrate achievements, overcoming obstacles, coming […]

Stephanie and Dave are fun, and they smile a lot… making it the perfect session to share today, when lots of tension and stress are lingering in the air.   :D See you two lovelies on Saturday!  – kate
