I was 34 weeks along and went off to start the first of 5 appointments. Having gestational diabetes was absolutely horrible. As if they don’t make you have tons of appointments already in the third trimester, now I more than quadrupled my appointments each week.

Last winter, I got an email from Terra to see if I would be available to photograph her small wedding. Terra and James had wanted to have a big wedding, but after taking a good look at their budget, realized it just couldn’t happen. I was so excited to hear from her when she contacted […]

It was May 5, 2017 – Cinco de Mayo. It seemed appropriate for us taco fanatics to have more than just tacos to celebrate this day.

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter outside! With these two getting married in a couple of weeks, I figured it was the right time to share their winter engagement session!

Kate and Richard’s love story isn’t what you’d think, but it is filled with so much love and a passionate desire to be together forever and always. They met in high school. Kate had a crush on this cute guy. She’d see him in the hallways and they’d exchange cute glances. Eventually, they became friend; […]
