Many years ago, I worked at Pizza Hut. I was a delivery driver, and really enjoyed my job. So when I found out Sydney and Ethan also used to be Pizza Hut delivery drivers, I thought that was amazing. Not only that, that was how they met.
Read MoreI had the chance to meet Luna and Jeremy a couple of years ago at Jeremy's older brother's wedding. Not only was that wedding beautiful (shout out to Dan and Lisa!) but meeting all the family was a blast. I got to know them even more at their Christmas engagement session, so when they got a hold of me to ask if I'd travel out to Leavenworth for their wedding I was pumped. Not only because the area is so beautiful, but because this family, these people, are so great to be around. This wedding was so much fun, and I'm so excited to be able to share some of my favorites with you.
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about my job is being there for big moments in life. One of the first ones a person experiences is graduating from high school. They, essentially, have grown up - and are now faced with many more life decisions. But when you add to it being able to take photos of someone you’ve known for years, and capture that moment in their life, it’s huge. I absolutely love Ezra. He’s kind, he’s funny, he has such a good heart. He’s someone I love seeing every time he’s around, and the only thing I'd change is to have him around more often. So being able to share some of my favorite photos from his senior session? Huge. I hope you love them!
Read MoreGetting to be at Bea and Landon's wedding was something special - something different. Not just because I had the chance to photograph Landon's senior photos (which makes it already more special) or because I had the chance to photograph his sister's senior photos - or even because we went to the same church together. No, it's even bigger than that. Landon has been someone i've known since he was in 5th grade. He came over to my house every Sunday for years, we built a relationship, a friendship. So as his relationship with Bea started to develop, and as i've seen him grow over the years, it was especially incredible to be a part of this wedding. A wedding that was filled with people I knew intimately (from my dad as the officiant, or my brother as a groomsman, to knowing mostly each groomsman quite well except one).
Read MoreI've had the privilege of knowing Jarrett and Meagan for years now. I photographed their wedding, their engagement before that, and I've gotten to come back for family photos more than once since. So when they reached out to tell me their family had grown again with the arrival of baby Theodore, I was so excited to get back out there with them.
Read MoreKarleigh and Colton have such an interesting story. Their lives had been swirling around each other for years, from Halloween party's to bars, but one of the most memorable moments was the day they first "met". I put that in quotes because they met - but they also weren't there together. It turns out, they had said hello, but Karleigh was at the bar with some other friends when someone yelled at her to come and help. Why? Because Colton had collapsed outside and was "not breathing". Turns out he was "almost" not breathing and his heart was only giving a faint pulse. So Karleigh did the necessary CPR and got him into a stable state - saving his life.
