• I always wondered what being a parent would be like. Whats surprised me the most is how much it helps you understand the love of God for each of us more clearly. One of those moments was when baby Luke was learning how to crawl. He laid on his stomach, arched his back, but despite his efforts couldn’t move forward. In fact most times that he tried in the beginning he would just push himself backwards. I looked at him and just kept thinking “you can do this! You are so capable! Not only of crawling but one day I know you will walk, and one day you will run, and one day you will jump, climb, spin, and so much more! You are so much more capable than you can even realize!!” ⠀ ⠀ As the thoughts raced through my head I realized that’s what God thinks of me. It’s what He thinks of each of us. He knows how capable we are to not only get through this but how much greater the things we will be able to do after it. He has great plans for each of us to prosper, to give us hope, and a future just like Jeremiah says. God loves us. I believe it, I hope it, and that gives the strength to endure any obstacle. So watch out world, because here you come 💪You are so capable.

  • Look how big Mark’s smile was during this first look! 🤩 On a day when couples so generously give away their time to their family, their guests, their wedding party, the hair stylist, and on and on... it is so import to carve out time for just the two of you on your day! A first look is one great way to do that. It gives you the chance to say a prayer together, exchange notes, compliment each other, shake some nerves, and share your excitement for becoming husband and wife in just a few short hours!

  • If you want to witness true JOY in the midst of the unknown, let me introduce you to Liz + Quinn. They had stressful moments behind the scenes like every couple does, but you’d probably never know it. Because oh my wow did these two ALWAYS share the biggest grin when we were doing wedding photo planning together. No matter what came their way, they saw the silver lining. They moved forward with their deep faith and trust in God that he would bless their wedding day despite a pandemic. And He did!⠀ ⠀ You could tell how much FUN they had in the whole process of getting married. The world wants to tell you it’s hard, it’s stressful, it’s something to just get through, and you might even want to elope instead by the end. But couples like these two remind you that it is all worth it to enjoy the season you’re in while you’re preparing for the next.

  • Does anyone else feel like their confidence level kicks up a notch when you throw on a cute pair of heels?! 🙋‍♀️ Katzie’s confidence definitely does and maybe so does her sassier side too 😉 We love seeing which style of shoes the bride chooses for her wedding day. Its fun seeing how shoe trends change through the years just like dress styles. And the style of shoe - whether she opts for a flat or braves the heel - often showcases her own personality.⠀ ⠀ What kind of shoe do you think matches your own personality? ⠀ ⠀ 1. Ballet flat: practical, comfortable, and down to earth⠀ 2. Sparkly keds: fun-loving and ready for a girls night⠀ 3. Classic neutral heel: Chic with a timeless elegance⠀ 4. High heels with glitter or jewels: ready for cocktail hour and the center of where the laughter is coming from

  • Senior sessions have such a sweet spot in my heart. They’re how my whole photography journey began! When you get a chance to celebrate a major milestone alongside someone and speak compliments over them for a straight hour...it’s life giving! We hope the images we capture reflect back to you how truly beautiful you are. That for a moment when you stood in front of my camera that you felt seen, celebrated, and loved on even if we were strangers to start. You are worthy. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. And watch out world, because God definitely has big beautiful plans waiting for you.

  • Ben and I can make a lot of photo magic happen with just some greenery or a neutral wall. But when you give us some beautiful architecture to work with too...watch out! 🤩 Can you imagine this hanging on the walls of their home?! I keep thinking about how in awe their future kids would be to walk by an imagine like that everyday. I know that if it were my parents who had a photo like that from their wedding day I’d for sure grow up thinking they’re basically movie stars.

  • On a scale of one to gorgeous this bouquet is *too* beautiful for words! 😉 If you’re wondering the best places to invest on your wedding budget, make your bouquet a priority. It’s in the majority of pictures from walking down the aisle, family pictures, couple portraits, and so many moments throughout the day. It’s as front and center as the bride herself so it’s worth a little splurge to choose something elegant that you love for yourself.

  • Long romantic veils are so much fun to play with on your wedding day for those iconic shots. It adds an extra layer of romance to every image of the day. And let me tell ya that Nestor & Melina are all things romantic! They’re both native Spanish speakers from their South & Central American roots so when you hear them sweetly (or sassily) say “mi amor” to one another you’ll be on cuteness overload. Not to mention that serving a good bottle of wine and cooking up some delicious cuisines for their friends is a love language they are fluent at. And don’t even get me started on their killer dance moves! 💃 it’s been so fun to witness their joy for life in every aspect and to see firsthand how deep their faith and trust in God is. We can’t wait to see how this romance blossoms through their lifetime!
