I had the pleasure of photographing Kristen & Steven’s wedding back in 2015, so to be able to celebrate their love with an anniversary session six years later was such a special treat.  The two lovebirds both got dressed up in their wedding attire which was very special to them, including Kristen’s Claire Pettibone wedding gown.  We […]

This newborn session holds a very special place in my heart.  Brittney and I went to college together and reconnected over social media when I shared our son, Gatlin’s story last year.  Brittney became pregnant with twins soon after and started having some complications with her precious girls as well.  We connected over our similar […]

Fuji 400H has been my go-to film of choice for many years now, so when I saw Fuji’s announcement about it being discontinued I definitely was overcome with many different emotions. First I was in denial, then I became sad and frustrated because it is such a big tool I use to create the “look” […]
