There are not many times in life where I am at a loss for words..but today as I sit down to write this blog post, I do not even know what to say… Just a few months ago, after doing family photos for dear friends, I received a message from Heather. Heather and her fiancé […]

What is something you have prayed and wished for as long as you can remember? The thing you dreamt about as a kid? The thing you couldn’t envision life without? For me, that was a husband. I never dated a lot in high school or college, and started to believe that I would be one […]

My hands trembled. Tears swelled up in my eyes. And my throat vibrated as I sang… Typically, these are not typical things I experience throughout the course of a wedding ceremony. Usually I am focused on my back pain from poor posture throughout the day, or I am focused on how heavy my 70-200 mm […]

It was hot, sunny, and humid. The perfect day for a May wedding. This past year I have had the wonderful privilege of being an associate photographer for Hannah Balta! Hannah and I met a few years ago after I moved to NY. Hannah is an amazingly-talented photographer who recently got married and moved to […]

Sprit-filled. God-honoring. Hot. If I had to describe Haleigh and Luis’ wedding day in just a few short words, those are what I would choose. If you read my blog post a few weeks ago, you would know that I traveled to Missouri. You would also know that I shot engagement photos for Haleigh and […]

The sun peeked through the trees. The clouds reigned high above the tops of the Catskill Mountains. I took a deep breath in and breathed in the summer air of Upstate NY. I thought to myself, “wow, this is my home, and I can not believe I get to take pictures here.” As many of […]

The wind was blowing. The sun was setting. The birds were chirping. The perfect evening for an engagement session. Earlier in the day dark storm clouds rolled through, making me nervous the skies were going to let loose during Katie and Kyle’s Engagement Session. But the weather could not have been more perfect. Katie and […]

Rain pounded against my car. My windshield wipers traveled at high speed. Highway traffic moving at a measly pace of 20 mph. Filled with frustration, I voice texted Jeni that we would have to reschedule for the second time. Like many times before, I was traveling on I-287 through New Jersey, on my way to […]
