I photographed Adam & Valerie's wedding one year ago in May! You can view their wedding here!
They were blessed with a little boy right round their anniversary! His BIG eyes are the sweetest thing! Even though I swear it was as windy as a storm during their photos, little babe did an amazing job and didn't even shed a tear. These new parents are doing a fabulous job! I remember the stage of no sleep... But it's always worth it. Enjoy!
Read MoreBlonde, blue eyes & those little teethers. There is nothing sweeter. Little James is 1 years old! Not to mention, he is my NEW neighbor! I am so excited to have this family across the street. I can already imagine all of the trouble our kiddos might get into. :) Enjoy!
Read MoreMy first senior of 2019 and it was a great one! Morgan is such a sweet girl. She has amazing style!!
Morgan is going to be a senior at MOC-FV and she is in dance, just like I was! I miss those days sometimes but not the early mornings. Not to mention it is the longest sport season there is.
I enjoyed getting to spend the evening with Morgan. Especially since it wasn't humid for once! Enjoy!

Read MoreI've been photographing this family for over a year now and I am more than grateful every time I get the chance to. This little family of three is one of my favorites for many reasons. One of them may or may not be because they have an adorable red headed child hehe. Enjoy!

I always love the mowing lawn run-ins and showing each other our random animals finds in our yards. :)
Read MoreThere's something about red heads that just make them extra cute. Why is that?? Little Ainsley turned one and they had a watermelon theme! 'One in a Melon'. What makes it even better is she got to eat half a water melon in her lap. Why can't that be cute for adults??

Read MoreI had this ADORABLE family be my models, because, aren't they the cutest?? I had a vision of what I wanted them to wear and they exceeded my expections!

Photographing weddings is my passion, and couples like Andrew and Laura remind me of why I love it so much! These two were an absolute joy to work with and such a great reminder of what true love looks like.
From the adorable first look at the place where Andrew proposed, to lying in front of the tulips, they couldn't take their eyes off each other or stop grinning from ear to ear.
