From running around the dining room in their socks to (in this case) chasing chickens in the backyard, I’m able to capture their lives at […]

It’s officially FALL! The busy schedules and craziness of summer comes to a close and we work our way into a slower season. And with that comes a wave of wonderful families looking for a beautiful evening for a fall session. The Connor Family met me at Hartman Creek State Park to do just that. […]

When Taylor reached out to me explaining her vision for a one-year anniversary session for her and her husband, I knew I was “in” right away.

Requests for dogs at sessions and weddings? Common. Requests for horses to take the spotlight during an engagement session?
