This year’s seen quite a few pivots – cancelled + delayed sports seasons, virtual church services, and so much home cooking. The wedding industry is certainly no exception. Although the perfect location for Kiva + CJ’s wedding never changed, their guest list did. So on the fourth of July, in her parents’ backyard, Kiva married…
These strange summer days don’t lend themselves well to the bustle of big city life. I’m spending most of my working time in fields, sprawled parks, and lots + lots of private property. But this evening, this perfectly golden evening, we got the best of both worlds – a quiet, socially distanced, oasis just above…

So many different factors have the opportunity to define a wedding day. Maybe it’s the weather – a freak snowstorm threatening to keep everyone off the roads. It could be a late cake delivery, or the wrong color flowers. But most often it’s the sweeter things – like a dad healthy enough to walk his…
“I don’t know what you want me to tell you, man. All I know is that every time I’ve been faced with a tough decision, there’s only one thing that outweighs every other concern. One thing that will make you give up on everything you thought you knew, every instinct, every rational calculation – Love. Listen. No…
Have you ever looked through your parents’ wedding album? There’s something so special about seeing where it all began. Comparing the dress you just bought to the one your mom wore 30 years ago. Or seeing old photos of your uncle with a moustache and your aunt in all her shoulder padded bridesmaid glory. Something…
I’ve had a long, hard struggle with my beauty routine. Ever since I can remember, it’s gone a little something like this. Step 1: Get my hair cut at a brand new place my friend told me about. Step 2: I’m not loving how it’s looking, but she’s not quite done yet so we still…
A couple weeks ago, my dad gathered some of the most important people in my mom’s life into one balloon filled room and surprised her. It wasn’t her birthday. It wasn’t their anniversary. It was a party just to celebrate how wonderful my mom is every day of the year. (#goals, am I right?) Her…
I consider each wedding I photograph to be such a privilege, but when one of those weddings involves two people I already love, the feelings run so much deeper. I met both Josh and Taylor my freshman year of college. Taylor and I had been assigned to the same dorm and I met Josh while participating in those new…
My refuge and strength My ever-present God my light and way Fill up these lungs with Your breath My Savior and King all of my help and my salvation Let Your kingdom be complete in me
My maternity session with Katie & Mike was filled with some perfect sunlight, calm water, and the sweet springtime air. What more could I ask for?
One of the things I’ve loved about starting this business has been connecting with people I haven’t seen in a while. Lauren and I went to high school together. Life took us both out of state for college, and 8 years later, we find ourselves back in the place it all began. I was so excited…
