Some sessions feel like magic from the very first click—and this was definitely one of them. I recently had the pleasure of photographing the Nevels family, and everything about this evening felt like a dream. From the way the golden light wrapped around them in the open field, to the peaceful woodland backdrop that gave their session a cozy, storybook feel—it was a photographer’s dream come true.
Read MoreThere are sessions that stay with you long after you pack up your camera—and this was definitely one of them. I recently spent a golden evening with my dear friend Calli Burke and three of her six children, to celebrate her sweet baby, Ephraim, turning one years old. It was such an honor to be there for this milestone and help document all the love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
Read MoreEvery time I get behind the camera, I’m reminded of how much I love what I do. Photographing families and couples isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about preserving connection, laughter, and the fleeting moments that make life beautiful.

Last week I was teaching my kids a lesson about how no matter what it is that we think we want to do, God’s plan will always prevail. And this can be with anything in life.

Well, I shared a little story that helped put some things into perspective for my children when they asked this and I will share it with you all. After all, it helps tell how I got into this Photography business.
