Destination engagements are by far a favorite. They have become few and far between since I just don’t have the capacity in my schedule to take over 30 trips for each of my 2023 weddings. That said, I loved this chilly NYC engagement with Angeline and Kevin! We started in Central Park and made our […]

Nuffy and Chris had a fabulous destination wedding at the very northern point of Michigan. In fact, we were so far north that the sunset was at 9:30PM- a photographer’s dream. They held a rehearsal party with a Texas theme (an ode to the bride’s hometown) at Chris’ family lodge. The nest day, both bride […]

  2019, Wow. What a freakin’ ride. When I look back at this year, I kind of have to laugh. Starting this year, my word of the year was “Rest”. I did anything but rest. I came in from 2018 pretty worn down from my biggest year yet so, I raised my prices and vowed […]

Fanny and Fazim are a photographers DREAM. They changed from semi-formal to full on formal as their second look during their engagement session. A couple after my own heart! They have such style but are also such good sports about pictures! We joked around and had a FABULOUS early morning session in New York City for their session! I have always wanted to shoot at the Top of the Rock and DUMBO so I was over the moon when these two agreed to both!

Oh man.. the Biggs family is making me a fan of family photography! I am not even kidding when I say that Olivia looked and smiled right at the camera for nearly two straight hours. What an incredible baby!! When these two college swimmers asked me to document their growing little family, I couldn’t help but say yes!

What. A. Couple. I feel like I have to share a funny anecdote before telling you about this wedding. About 2 weeks before, Meghan and Ryan were both guests at a mutual friend’s wedding that my husband and I also attended. About 10 minutes into the reception, these two were TEARING IT UP on the dance floor having the best time any guest could possibly have. I tried to sneak a quick iPhone picture of their cuteness when my husband caught me. He said, “Why are you creeping on that couple?” To which I responded, “I’m photographing their wedding in a few weeks. LOOK HOW CUTE!” Ben then rolled his eyes and said, I think you’ll take much better ones of them dancing on THEIR wedding then, right?”
