I can’t believe I have never used glitter during a session before… it was SO much fun!!! What girl doesn’t like glitter??

Everything is new and beautiful. We had to contend with icy winds, lack of a good nap and a wild thing big brother but that just […]

There is something amazing about being a storyteller. Being a portrait and wedding photographer is about so much more than pushing a button on a camera and delivering images to clients. It’s about telling the story of someone’s life. In this case, the story of two people’s lives as they prepare and plan and pray […]

Let’s talk about wedding albums. There is something truly magical about being able to hold the story of your wedding day in your hands.

“Children are not a distraction from more important work, they are the most important work.” – C.S. Lewis What a crazy fun time I had with Mr Christian and his parents.
