The Dorgans, my first wedding of the 2026 season ✨

The sweetest couple, magnetic energy, the ultimate hype crew, loving parents, handwritten letters, flowers galore, black and white details, cocktails, disco balls, endless smiles, and happy tears. Those are just a few of the things that come to mind when I think back on their day.

It was a wedding I was truly so excited for because I knew how naturally these two fit together, and their day felt exactly the same — effortless, joyful, emotional, and full of so much love. Every part of it felt organic in the best way possible, like everyone there could feel just how meant for each other they are.

A perfect way to kick off my 2026 wedding season 😭

Some of my motherhood mini fams 💛 It’s such an honor to capture this season of your life. Especially as a newer mom myself, I know just how fast these moments fly by and how meaningful it is to hold onto them 🥲

Carlie + Austin’s wedding deserves a permanent spot on this feed 🤍

A day that felt effortless, intentional, and full of so much love. They stayed present, embraced every moment, and truly soaked in their people, and it shows 🥹

I always say the magic happens when you let go of the “production” of the day. When you stop thinking about the timeline, the details, the photos… and just live it.

Your story will always tell itself

Spring Motherhood Minis are officially open and I couldn’t be more excited 🌸🍼💛🥹🫂

I’ve photographed these sessions for years, but becoming a mom myself has made them mean something entirely different. Now I understand just how quickly these little seasons pass.

If I could bottle up this age, I would keep it forever. The way he looks at me like I’m his entire world. His big belly laughs. The way he spit-fires his paci across the room the second I show him a bottle. His chunky chunky cheeks. The way he nuzzles into my arm when he’s getting sleepy. And the way every new skill like clapping their hands makes you so incredibly proud of them 🥲

It’s the tiny, ordinary moments that somehow end up meaning the most.

These sessions are all about preserving that feeling. The love, the connection, the little in-between moments you never want to forget.

The booking link is in my bio, or comment MINI SESSION and I’ll send it your way 💌

Erin and Mac… oh my gosh, where do I even start?? 🥲

These two were so in love and just best friends in the purest way. The kind of couple that makes my job feel easy in the best possible sense. Every laugh, every glance, every quiet moment between them photographed exactly as it unfolded, which let me lean fully into the storytelling approach I love so much.

A late November wedding + the University Club + a couple this connected was truly a dream. To see more from their gorgeous day, their full feature is up on the blog ✨

Paris and Derek — finally getting around to sharing their day with you all 💛

This was one of those wild wedding days where something was getting thrown at them all day long. If it wasn’t completely rearranging the morning timeline because of a rally, it was the threat of rain chasing us all afternoon.

But these two? They handled every curveball with so much grace. They laughed, they popped more champagne, and they truly just had the best time through it all. And because of that, we got to capture their day exactly as it unfolded — real, unfiltered, joyful, and so them.

A little delay, a lot of laughter, and one unforgettable start to Michelle + Sam’s day! We were fashionably late to thei...

A little delay, a lot of laughter, and one unforgettable start to Michelle + Sam’s day!

We were fashionably late to their ceremony thanks to a few surprise bridges, but honestly, it made the day even more memorable. We had the music up, popped some champagne, and everyone had the biggest smiles all day long.

The night ended just as good as it started, celebrating at the beautiful Revel Motor Row with all the love and energy in the world 🥂
