You know those weddings that you can’t seem to stop talking about weeks after they’d passed? This is one of those. I kicked off my wedding season as an associate for Dani Stephenson Weddings by traveling to Eckers Apple Farm to celebrate Jessica and Bill. This working apple farm only takes on four weddings a […]

Today I’m sharing a bit of Ethan and Lexie’s beautiful outdoor wedding at the Willow Pond Bed and Breakfast. Their day wasn’t without a couple challenges (a 100 degree day to work with), but they took it in full stride and created an absolutely perfect day. Every minute of their day spoke to their unique […]

Today I’m sharing a little bit of the behind the scenes of the wedding I helped shoot for Dani Stephenson Weddings. Whenever I get the chance to join her on a wedding day, I know I’m in for an incredible day. Kyler and Brittany’s wedding at the Lageret was just that. Every detail of their […]

“The day will be as perfect as you make it. Things will probably go wrong, and you can’t let that ruin your day. In the end, you’re with the person you want to be with the rest of your life and that’s what matters.” Chelsea wrote these words herself in an email to me weeks […]

While this weekend was filled with all things wedding, last weekend I spent three days with Tyler exploring the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (where he grew up). We loaded the car, headed north, and spent the weekend putting on some serious miles. We rode bikes around Mackinac Island (making a pitstop or two to find […]

Jeremy and Maggie met me at Hartman Creek State Park for their engagement session earlier this week. With chances of rain in the forecast, we had gone back and forth for awhile on whether or not to reschedule. In the end, Maggie made the final call that we were going to go for it! I […]

Anyone who knows me at all knows that Joanna Gaines is my want-to-be best friend and I live and breathe all things Magnolia. Given this, you can imagine the amount of anticipation I felt as I watched the Magnolia-inspired styled shoot unfold at the Rad Photographers Retreat. Rustic elements like the barn board backdrop met […]

I’m finally home, settled in, and have finished processing the four days I spent at the Rad Photographers Retreat (put on by Christine of Natural Intuition Photo) last week. But given that it was an absolute dream and I’m not ready to let go quite yet, I’m going to relive it as I take you behind the […]

If you’re anything like me, winter holds appeal from roughly December 1st through December 25th. Within this window, bring on the snow, Hallmark movies, and Christmas cookies. Outside of this timeframe, I find myself in hibernation mode burrowed under the blankets waiting for the spring thaw. This time is valuable in that it gives me time […]

It’s no secret that I often hibernate during the winter months and retreat indoors until the spring thaw. My husband can attest to this. So when Shiara reached out to me about a family shoot in December, I let out a little shiver as I agreed. I stumbled out of my den and met up […]

In a world that is easily caught up in image and drawn to superficiality, there is something to be said about bringing a wedding back to it’s simplest and truest form. This is exactly what Dustin and Leslie accomplished on their wedding day. They created a day that was relaxed and genuine, yet beautiful in […]

The Togstad Family met me at one of my favorite place, Schmeekle Reserve, on one of the last warm fall evenings of the season. Don’t be fooled by their sweaters and boots! We spent the session wandering around enjoying the warm sun and freshly fallen leaves. Enjoy the sneak peek of this sweet family!
