Kristina and Julian had the most beautiful wedding in October! But what was the most wonderful piece was how in love they were. The way that they looked at each other throughout the day, and the moment they saw each other in the church as Kristina walked down the aisle, was filled with so much love and respect. Even their vows were full of wonderfully sweet, silly and inside-jokey moments that they, and their guests, laughed and awed at. Everyone from them to their wedding pa

This is the wedding everyone was waiting for! Chloe and Quentin are more than just high school sweethearts, they are two people completely in love with each other! They'd been together for nearly five years when Quentin surprised Chloe with a wonderfully orchestrated proposal (including a bit of false hope at dinner and a shocking appearance at her college apartment nearly two hours away later that night). A little less than a year later, they got married! Dec. 15 was a big d

On Aug. 16, Marlin and Carolyn celebrated 60 years of marriage! To commemorate, the Henleys gathered up their friends for a 60th anniversary party. The party included dinner by all of our favorite caterers, speeches and a photo booth. Marlin was adamant that the event only last two hours, and they ended right on time, but still had plenty of time to spend with their guests who were excited to celebrate with the happy couple! Before the party, Marlin and Carolyn invited me to

One of my favorite things about photographing families is seeing the dynamic between everyone. When it's time to edit, I love seeing those dynamics captured for a lifetime. This trio below was a blast to work with! Stephanie, her fiancé Casey and her son Brandon were so wonderful! There is such a great connection between them. Even after a little boo-boo, Brandon bounced back to being the most energetic little guy I think I've met! He particularly enjoyed playing a new game J

Meet Allyssa! She is a senior at Timberland High School and has less than two weeks of school left! (I know, how crazy!) She's involved in broadcast media and HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America), and, in the fall, she will be going to St. Charles Community College to start her degree in nursing. She enjoys shopping, adventuring with her boyfriend, Trevor, and, like all of us, relaxing and watching TV. Allyssa is incredibly sweet, friendly and outgoing and has a wond

You know those moments in life, where you don't really feel old, but you feel like you should? I'm definitely having one of those moments now! Some of the first seniors I photographed are getting married! Quentin proposed to Chloe earlier this year, and the two are planning a beautiful December wedding! They are two of the kindest, smartest, sweetest people I know and I am so excited for them to continue their lives together! This is the second time I've had the pleasure of w

Christy is one of my favorite people ever! So when she asked me about doing her son's senior pictures, and a few pictures of her family, I was so excited! I've meet her family a few times over the years (usually at Wizard Con!), but it was great getting to actually spend some time with them and get to know them all better. The Kasprzyk's and the Gordons have a lot of shared interested, so getting together with them with the perfect opportunity to talk all things sci-fi, inclu

I was so excited to work with these two! Cheryl and Patrick are family friends. I'd seen Cheryl recently, but hadn't seen Patrick in quite a few years ... probably since the days of pig roasts at my granny's bar from pre-college years. They haven't had professional pictures taken since their wedding, nearly 30 years ago, so they were the perfect winners of our contest earlier this year for a free session. It was a pleasure getting to spend the afternoon with them. We had to r

Earlier this month this wonderful family invited me to their house to take pictures of their son, W. I know W's parents from my day job, and they are nice and friendly of people that you'll ever meet. The family has a wonderful back yard; we were able to find a variety of spots in their yard for these shots. It's not doubt that W will have a great place to play as he grows. W is an incredibly happy baby! He was hardly phased by a complete stranger getting in his face for two

Nic and Pedro's big day is finally here! One of the things I love most about weddings is getting to experience those moments not many others get to see. There were so many wonderful moments from this wedding that I loved, some of which you’ll get to see below in their pictures. One of my favorites was their first look. It was such a sweet moment. No matter how much you plan and choreograph for it, the moment when Nic and Pedro saw each other, you forget the details of who n
