Ahhhh…my first wedding of 2020. Who knows when the next one will be? For me, the uncertainty is the toughest thing to overcome in our new normal. It’s the thing that I believe is making it difficult for us to sleep and bringing our strange dreams to the surface. As we worry about the health […]

I don’t even know where to start on this wedding… it is gorgeous from start to finish & was SO. MUCH. FUN!! It culminates with a NYE party at the Ritz Carlton St. Louis complete with a beautiful couple, a confetti explosion, and a sparkler sendoff!  The lovely BasiaIt’s always good to start the day […]

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 […]

I was just telling Mer that I think I may need to make a studio album sample out of these two. I love pretty things, but I love emotion more. Emotive people make my heart sing. If you are looking to feel love and happiness going into Christmas week, then take a look at these […]

Ahhhh…this is my first blog post since we launched our new website. Fingers crossed everything goes according to plan! But honestly, does anything ever go exactly according to plan? I’m a wedding photographer and I can for sure tell you the answer is NOPE! Sometimes they are tiny things, like the wind making the bride’s […]

These two are proof that if you roll with rain on your wedding day you will absolutely have amazing, emotional, fun, loving beautiful photos to remember every minute!
