Anyone else working at home with kids having a tough time getting ANYTHING done?! Before our adopted son came into our lives, I would sit down to edit and work for 4 – 8 hours like a machine! Now I am lucky if I get 15 minutes of uninterrupted work time. All of the working […]

Life is weird right now. I really couldn’t think of any other way to start typing. It would be strange to post my usual wedding intro and not acknowledge that fact, and yet I feel like I want to give you an escape into this beautiful wedding wonderland without hindrance.

Laney and Kyle got married in Red Bud, IL on one of the foggiest, mistiest wedding days I have ever experienced! It was raining on and off, but the rolling fog in the outdoor photos almost made it challenging to focus at times; the videographers shot a few scenes with a drone and it only […]

I love shooting in that space because of the bright light that flows in on three […]
