1 - Reach out
Reach out using our website contact form or send us an email. Tell us a little about your desired photoshoot and any initial questions you might have.
We want to know more about you as a couple and what your vision is. This is an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about our packages and how we work as storytellers.
So, you’ve decided we are a good match, the next step is to let us know you’re ready to commit to amazing wedding photographs and we’ll send you a proposal. Review the proposal, sign the contract, and make a payment in one simple step!
Do you know difference between a good and great photograph?
Capturing the aesthetic of the day is important, but nothing rivals it when you add emotion and make another person feel as if they themselves were in that moment.
It’s always an honor to continue telling the stories of my couples as their families grow. My favorite moment? Dad and Lincoln reading together about welcoming a baby—a sweet reminder of how these everyday moments become the ones we cherish most.
When you’re in the thick of parenting, the minutes can feel like days, but as the days pass, you find yourself missing the bottle feedings, the constant snuggles, and the little routines that made up your world. 🍼📖✨
That’s why documenting these times for others is so important to me. Photos allow you to relive the love, the chaos, and the fleeting magic of these early days, long after they’ve passed.

Whether it was watching our favorite team 〽️ win a National Championship or a purple 🦋 bring unadulterated joy we made the most of 2024 and we spent that time together as a family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Stella Bird!!!
It’s hard to believe she is 5!
Unfortunately she is celebrating her birthday at home sick. However, Mom and Dad are surprising her with a trip to Chicago for hotdogs, pizza, SHEDS and a little something extra in January.
WEDDING SEASON IS DONE
The last wedding images are toned, galleries have been shared and boxes have been shipped.
And so we begins 2025! New client meetings are already starting, freelance work and family sessions on the books. Oh, and did I mention updating the portfolio and website?
Also working on finding a little time to breathe between it all and maybe have a nice glass of champagne too.
Sometimes we all need to step outside and take a moment away from it all.
No posing, just cuddle up, breathe it in, embrace it and then let it all go.
