When Nicholle and I started chatting about creating a unique photoshoot experience for her family, I knew I wanted to use the shopping cart I found. Nicholle thrifted each outfit and I would give feedback - y’all it felt so good to work with a client who trusted my creative visions. The kids helped set up the shopping cart which by the way is my favorite way to include the kiddos. Here’s what we shot.…

used to be a “natural light photographer.” See also; Someone who doesn’t know how to use her off body flash very well. *PSA: your photog should be comfortable in any lighting circumstance* Over the years and many (many) weddings later I feel super confident using flash in literally any situation.

Sometimes I feel like my work isn’t good enough, I’m not like other photographers I look up to, but then I remember I’m not here to emulate something that’s already been done by someone else. I’m here to connect to my clients….

Last month Meesh and I hosted our first ever retreat in Prescott, Arizona. We wanted to host a small circle of women in the woods for ceremony and renewal. We didn’t have a religion or mastery skill to found the retreat upon, but we knew women needed space to connect and be wild.

I love witnessing wedding days (or being a wedding day stalker as I say). I love hanging out with the bride and groom all day. I love hearing the stories the parents tell with toasts. I love when the best man makes everyone blush on the dance floor. I love being a contributor to the whole ceremony and working with all the vendors to make it come together.

For the class of 2020, my heart hurts. They've worked so hard for the past 13 years and now at their time to celebrate, we've shut everything down. My responsibility as a photographer is to to document everything. So from a distance, with a good lens, I captured these senior photos.

I didn’t have a first look at my wedding. I wanted to be super traditional and we didn’t talk to each other or even text the day of. I’m not sure if I would do it differently looking back if I knew then what I know now. But I like to think the photographer in me would be able to convince my former youth the benefits of a first look.

If you’ve been following along you know I photographed one of my best friends’ wedding recently and I’ve decided to break each major album into sections similar to how I deliver images to clients so my potential clients can get a more in depth look at wedding coverage, not just the top 10 images I took all day. Here’s a peek at Mike and Stephanie getting ready.

I’ve known Stephanie for years, and when she told me she was getting married I knew I wanted to capture the day for her. So I did. These are the main details from their wedding. I like to usually post one blog gallery per wedding but since this was so special I decided to break it up into galleries, like I deliver; Details, Getting Ready, First Look, Ceremony and Reception.
