Personal

I believe in education and always growing in your business. Since I began my photography business I’d taken multiple online courses, but I had never attended an in person photography workshop….until now.  I’m sharing my experience along with some photos I took at the photography workshop aptly named WRKSHP I attended this past October in Brooklyn, New York. 

It’s my absolute favorite story to tell. One I always get asked, and every time I finish telling, leaves jaws dropped on the floor and gasps of, “You’re KIDDING me.” The story? How I met my husband, Andrew. It’s definitely one for the story books and movie scripts. So hold on tight. I may be a little biased, but I think this is a pretty damn good one… 

This is a story I’ve never told before. This is a story about the unexpected happening. About failure. About rejection. But also about newness. About freedom. About finding your calling.

This summer my husband, Andrew, and I did a huge thing. We moved from Kansas, where we both grew up, to Hawaii. It’s been a wild adventure, a huge change, and a journey we are excited to share with you guys. For those of you who don’t know, Andrew is in the Coast Guard, and […]

Something SO exciting happened today, and I wanted to share it all with you! Andrew and Allyson’s Horseshoe Bend Elopement I photographed a few months ago just got published on Junebug Weddings! I think it’s so important to celebrate your wins, and recognise them in a healthy way. For those of you who don’t know, Junebug Weddings […]

I get asked pretty frequently, “What made you want to become a wedding photographer?” I’ve thought a lot about it over the years, and so I wanted to share my journey that led to me pursuing the job I absolutely love. Let’s start off by saying this: I NEVER imagined myself as a professional photographer, […]
