Slow season is always a time for reflection and a lot of what I’ve been realizing is that I’ve lost a little bit of the spark in what I do. In this day and age, so much of what is advertised to photographers is that you NEED to be high-end and editorial and have a list of publications a mile long…
But the more I try to be like that, the worse I feel at the end of a wedding day. Because it’s not me…
The thing I love most about photography is the feelings that are evoked when you look back on your images. How many times do you think I look back on the photos of my invitation suite? Now, how many times do you think I look back on the photos from my ceremony, the portraits, the moments in between? I mean, there are literally wedding photos all over my home…
So this year, I’m still going to do the beautiful detail photos, but I’m also going to focus more on just going with my gut and following my heart. That’s what has always given me the most memorable photos after all…

I’ve been loving venues that take the time to create a comfortable and beautiful space to get ready in! Starting the day calm always helps me get my creativity flowing which definitely reflects in your photographs overall!!

What is the very first thing I try to do during getting ready portraits? I capture the dress! It usually takes a few minutes to scope out the perfect location and allows me to continue with flatlays while you start getting into your dress should time get crunched!
Here’s a little secret…most of the “getting dressed” portraits I take are either in the very final moments or are recreated! This is mostly to maximize efficiency (have you seen how long those buttons can take?!) as well as avoid any awkward accidentally flashing…
While you start getting situated in your dress, I’ll grab a few candids of your wedding party, clean up from flatlays, or scope out a place for your first look. I never want to feel like I’m just standing around or wasting your time!!
