Whether it’s your 1st birthday, 2nd, or 3rd! It’s always worth capturing! -The many faces of Harper 🫶🏽 I can’t get over this little girl. She was made to be in front of the camera! I’ve been blessed enough to have been capturing little miss since she was born. I love the Newell family. From engagement, to wedding, to growing their family. So many sweet memories. Thank you for having me year after year! 🤍

K & T - The Slaytons | 8.8.2026
There’s something extra special about getting to photograph a wedding when the people already feel familiar. I had the honor of photographing Kelly’s sister’s wedding a few years ago. Getting to be back with this family again for another beautiful celebration was a full-circle moment.

Kelly & Trevor are truly two of the sweetest people, and their day felt so completely them. They share the best families & friends, and of course, their pups, Maizie & Daisy, getting to be part of it all.

I absolutely adore this family and loved getting to celebrate alongside so many familiar faces again. Days like this are such a sweet reminder of why I love what I do.

And just WAIT until I share more of the details from this day… every little piece was so thoughtfully put together and so beautiful.

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Slayton! Another gift & honor it was to capture this chapter of your story. 🫶🏽

Mr. & Mrs. DiLorenzo ✨ A love so genuine, a joy so effortless, and a faith so beautifully woven into every part of their day. The kind of love that reflects the Lord in the sweetest way. From the biggest smiles and belly laughs, to the quiet, meaningful moments in between, everything about this day felt completely them. And the people surrounding them? Just as incredible. So much love from their family and friends, all of the laughter, and genuine joy celebrating these two.

These are the wedding days I’ll never get tired of capturing. The ones where you can look through the photos and almost hear the laughter and feel the love all over again.

What an absolute honor it was to document this beautiful beginning. 🫶🏽
