Can I tell you about something that really irks me? When wedding vendors use fake couples for styled shoots. This morning just after I woke up I was scrolling instagram and I saw yet another styled photoshoot with a “couple” that isn’t actually a couple. Now, I know that it is easy to get excited about a vision and want to see it come to fruition but there has to be some form of authenticity even in a styled photoshoot.
Read MoreMorgan and John are always amazing to be around! ❤️The chemistry and love they have together is a beautiful thing to witness. ❤️❤️❤️We did Morgan’s maternity photos a couple of years ago and it is still one that I love to look back on.
Greenhouse photos are some of my favorites! They really provide a lot of advantages to clients. There are great colors, a huge variety of plants and flowers and there is usually a greenhouse cat. You will see an example of one when you scroll down a bit. Nurseries like this one usually have a few different greenhouses with various plants in each. There are also some gorgeous plants outside as well. For sessions like these I like to move all throughout the property and get photos in each area.
Read MoreWhen she showed up for the session, she was wearing the PERFECT dress! The dress was purple and flowy and it just looked gorgeous on her! We walked around the greenhouse chatting, laughing and dancing. I had such a great time with her! The greenhouse was perfect too! So many varieties of flowers and plants. Each time we moved to a different area it looked like we were in an entirely different location. I will say, if you plan to check out Matkins Greenhouse make sure you have plenty of extra cash to spend because it will be hard to leave without any of their gorgeous plants and flowers.
Read MoreI love swapping stories with others about how they got their start in whatever they are passionate about. I remember when I was 15 or 16, I borrowed my sister’s point and shoot digital camera. My best friend and I got dressed up and I took pictures of her individually and us together. We had such a good time and felt so confident. I have no idea where those photos are now but that was so much fun. ❤️Then when I was 19 I bought a film camera from goodwill. I bought some film and my friend show me how to load it. I started photographing everything.

Read MoreI had a dream a few months ago that I was taking photographs of my father. My father passed when I was 12, long before I had my very first camera. In my dream I couldn't believe I had never thought to take photos of him before. I remember the lens I wanted to use in my dream. I carefully attached it to my camera and led him to his favorite spot on the couch by the huge window I used to look out of when I was very impatiently awaiting the arrival of my mom on her way home from work.
