It was the perfect afternoon to head out to meet with this great family! These boys remind me of my boys when they were little, and sweet baby brother--just not so sure of all the big boy silliness... I just couldn't get enough of those blues... And...more blues... This family! It's so hard to find just ONE good shot because they are all g...

If you follow my posts, you'd see that I was out of town shooting a wedding today.

Such a fun night! A reunion of friends and former students and other par...

October 02, 2021  •  Leave a Comment
When this bride asked me to photograph her wedding, "I don't photograph weddings," I said. And guess what? I prayed and left Dan behind with a whole-busy Saturday of things to do, and road-tripped to celebrate and capture this beautiful day for this amazing family.
