Hey friends! Long time no chat!!! Unfortunately we come back here with some sad news. Shannon and I have made the very difficult decision to end our lease on our studio. It has been hard to navigate with all our kids involved in sports, and then new day jobs on top of it. Honestly, Covid shutdown really made us re-evaluate things and gave us a deep desire to spend more time with our family and not HUSTLE SO MUCH. 2021 we hustled hard, but we slowed way down in 2022, and have plans to slow even more down in 2023. We are really good at overwhelming ourselves and then burning out, as I’m sure you can tell by our lack of social media presence. 😬 So, our 2023 sessions and beyond will be few and far between. We have disabled our website, but will keep our social pages open as well as our email: [email protected]. We’re not entirely quitting but will be reigning it in quite a bit! With that being said, if you’re interested in a session this spring/summer/fall - now is a good time to reach out. We will only be taking a couple sessions a month versus a few sessions a week. This has not been an easy decision nor one we took lightly. It was always our dream to open a studio and we’re so amazed at what we accomplished in the 4.5 years we had it. We thank you all so incredibly much for the massive amount of support over the years. We wouldn’t have grown to where we are without you. ❤️ Again, not leaving, just pulling it back in for awhile. Who knows what the future holds! ❤️

I know it seems like we disappeared. Only from social media! Not from sessions. We are working hard over here capturing beautiful memories. ♥️♥️♥️

I’m editing this morning and man oh man. This session has my little heart just beaming!

It’s the middle of the day so nobody will see this. But. I keep forgetting to post.

Check out this absolutely gorgeous family. I am obsessed with their smiles. So. Freaking. Obsessed.

Can’t wait to meet that sweet baby in a few weeks! Enjoy your time as a family of 4!!

Hey everyone! We hope you are doing well and staying cool!! I am so excited to show you this beautiful families session. I'm doing it a bit differently tonight because their session was so unique that I just had to share tons of pictures with you.

This momma understood the assignment. When we say we love to capture families as they are, in this season of life, she said I hear you. She did something we have never had before and I just love the crap out of it. You will see as you watch what she did to make their session specific to them and their family.

Thank you SO much Rich family. I could have hung out with you guys all night!!!!! We hope you are doing amazing!

PS. There is music, so be ready.

We spent tonight laughing our way through our first outdoor session of the year. Chris and Lindsey are about to add a beautiful baby to their family and we were so incredibly honored to capture these moments for them. These two hold a special place in our hearts. They chose us for their engagement and wedding photographers. And now maternity. ♥️ I edited about 45 pictures tonight and am obsessed with them all, but am teasing you with just one. Keep your eyes out for more!

"Mom,

For the times I forgot to thank you,
for all the special things you do,
for some words that go unspoken,
Mom...just know that I love you.

You always stop and listen,
to my triumphs and my fears,
encouraging and teaching me.
And sometimes drying tears.

And if sometimes I forget to tell you,
I truly hope you see,
I appreciate all the things you do,
and you mean the world to me."

Well, would you look at this. We are here. Showing up on social media. Let me catch you up real quick. Last year was chaos. I, Shannon, rolled my ankle in June of last year. What we thought was a bad sprain turned out was actually a torn tendon. That meant surgery. Which mean Ashley had to become a one man show running everything. And she killed it.

We let our social media slack because, well, we had to have some boundaries to stay sane lol. Soooooo. As we ramp up for this coming season, we want to fill your feed with some beautiful images. And while I was looking back, it became very clear Mother Nature indeed dislikes us. Last year we had one session with beautiful sun. One. And because that is one session we posted I dug back to these beauty’s to share with you.

Jennifer, look how small he is!!!! Oh my gosh.

Enjoy these warm, sunny, pictures. And maybe shoot up some positive words to Mother Nature to bless us with some sun this year! Please.

Calendar is already full of sessions. Please reach out ASAP if you want in. We have limited availability this year as our kids calendars have taken over. Lol

We’re obsessed with our new shirts! Kristen did an amazing job with the highly detailed… ✨✨NEW✨✨ logo!

You’ll be able to see them firsthand tomorrow at the Wine Walk, too! Be sure to stop by the new colorful wall outside to snap a photo and then head up to our studio for some snackies, unique selfie stations with your friends/loved ones, and for a limited discount!!!🔥🔥

Dear Jaiden,

You killed it.

That's all I have to say. ;)

But for real - this dude right here was the sweetest kid we have ever had. He barely talked to us, which was ok, but so sweet. Smiled and laughed at our stupid jokes. Did anything we asked. Was an absolute natural. And I think you can see that in his photos! Also, how freaking handsome is he?! Good luck picking mom and dad!!!

Wishing you the absolute best senior year and good luck on your future plans in the ... you told us....let me think.....pipe fitting? Maybe? GAH! LOL I can't remember, but I know you are on it and already have a plan! You will be amazing! Good luck!
