They met online - as so many people do these days - on Hinge, to be exact. I asked what the difference was between Hinge and Bumble, or Tinder, and basically it is a little less about hookup culture and more about looking for actual, serious relationships. In this case, exactly what both Chris and Ashley were looking for.
Read MoreThe last couple of years i’ve had the chance to take family photos with the Kernodles. First in 2021, then again last year in 2022. And while these are short family sessions, i’ve absolutely loved getting to know this family (now a family of four!) over the last couple of years. This was magnified by getting to see them, and getting to know their family more when I had the chance to shoot a wedding this year (shout out to Skyler and Kristin!) where Sheldon was a groomsman, and of course the whole family was there. That said, i’m excited to share some of my favorite family fall family photos from them this year.
Read MoreThey met as so many other couples do these days - in an app. Sean told me that he was first drawn to Tyler because she "seemed like a normal, genuine, human" which is not very common in the dating apps. In their case though, it was on Bumble, which means the girl needs to reach out. So Tyler reached out to Sean and said something like "Oh you play music? That's awesome! What do you play?" Which immediately grabbed Sean.
Read MoreThe first time I ever met this incredible family of four was the day we did their photos. And while we didn’t get to spend that much time together, it was clear pretty quickly that we had a bunch of things in common (even down to our college, which is very small!) There was no doubt in my mind that I really liked this family, and my only regret in walking away was that we couldn't have spent more time getting to know each other. That said, I am super excited that I get to share their family photos here, and I hope you love them!
Read MoreI still remember a lot about Jake and Nicole’s wedding. The people, the moments, the smiles, the location all seared into my memory. Since then i’ve had the chance to see them multiple times for family photos, and every time it’s a privilege. It isn’t hard to see that that they are high-class people, and this extends to their family as well. The great part about this family shoot was that I had the chance to see Jake’s side of the family again. I love how these early fall photos turned out, and i’m excited to share them with you!
Read MoreI feel like I speak about this often, but that’s really because of how much it impacts me. The idea that I could meet a couple before they get married, be there for their engagement photos, wedding photos, and then family photos - and then year over year watch that family grow, blows my mind. It’s such an honor, and it is so fun seeing these amazing people again. The Epperson’s were wonderful when they got married, and now as a family of five they continue to be that way. What an honor to be able to photograph this family, and i’m so excited to share these with you.
