Confession: Jake makes friends a whole lot easier than most people. I almost constantly hear stories about one of Jake’s buddies that does “this thing or that”. Jake has this odd knack for learning about people’s hobbies, and he comes home to tell me about them. I’ll be honest, he does this so often that…
I know ya’ll love wedding dress inspiration, and how hard you search to find that PERFECT gown for your big day. It’s always fun for me to see what you end up selecting. One year, I had about 4 brides arrive in very similar gowns! That was the year the blush pink underlay was super…
It’s not a secret that my favorite couples are those who aren’t “boxed in” by traditions. So it stands to reason that this waterfall adventure chasing couple instantly became my new best friends this weekend. When Gina first contacted me, she wasn’t intimidated by my growing family. It didn’t even phase her that I would…

When I started writing this post, I wanted to tell you about how being a photographer’s kid means you’re constantly stuck modeling. But then, Friday rolled around and it hit me: We’ve been homeschooling for a full year. It’s been a roller coaster, but there are so many thing about it that I wouldn’t change…
It’s no surprise how much I love this cabin. My family has stayed here on a few occasions, and it’s quickly becoming our home away from home. Every time we’re up there, I try to photograph a few details for Andrea to market the cabin. In November we woke up to snow one morning, and…
For a while there, receptions were banned so not every wedding had centerpieces. I mean, it’s hard to drop money on a centerpiece when you’re not having a reception.
