I worked with the gorgeous Jessica (aka Lil Mizz Unique) in the fall and we had a blast capturing these Stearman themed shots.

Always lots of fun shooting the Keller family! Decent weather and even the dog behaved! Thank you again for trusting me with your memories! Here are just a few.

A few of my favorite's from a family shoot with Joe, Sami, Hadley and Owen. Somehow, Owen maintained enough self control to keep from losing his "electronic device privileges".......what a character!

I was finally able to get a little more editing done from the Brooks Wedding on 10/25/25. My apologies to Cayden and Maddi. Getting in a car accident 4 days after your wedding was definitely not in my plans. lol. Thank you for your understanding! You guys are awesome!

I don't even know how best to explain this couple who gave me the honor of capturing their special day yesterday. When I did their engagement pictures last year, they wanted to do ALL the crazy, funny, awkward poses that no one finds funny but me! lol! Their wedding was no exception but was also one of the most beautiful I have ever photographed! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Brooks! Here are just a few sneak peeks and this is just the tip of the iceberg!
