My camera roll is full… maybe I should delete some photos.” 👀

…oh wait nevermind.

Because somehow every wedding gives me another set of moments I physically cannot delete.

The veil fixes.
The nervous smiles before the ceremony.
The way couples look at each other when they think nobody’s paying attention. 🤍

And honestly?
Those little in-between moments usually end up meaning the most later.

That’s why I overshoot every single wedding ✨

Brides… are you more excited for the posed photos or the candid moments?

The timeline works for the couple. Not the other way around.

He was nervous before the first look. Not because anything was wrong. Because something that mattered enormously was about to happen.

So we took a minute. Sat in his room. Took a breath. Let him gather himself.

This is where 24 years and a psychology degree actually show up. Not in the posing. In knowing when to slow everything down so the couple can feel what is happening to them.

We walked down. She turned around.

The rest of the day was the smoothest wedding I can remember.

This is what I want for every couple I photograph. Not just beautiful images. A day that actually felt like theirs.

“Their words, not mine… and that’s why I love what I do.” 🤍

Because newborn sessions are about so much more than just taking pretty photos.

They happen during one of the most exhausting, emotional, beautiful seasons of life.

The days are blurry.
You’re running on little sleep.
And somehow your baby changes overnight. 😭

That’s why hearing parents say they felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely able to enjoy the experience means everything to me.

Because yes, the photos matter.

But making parents feel taken care of during such a fleeting season?
That matters just as much. ✨

If you could freeze one stage of your baby’s life forever… what would it be?

A little something I cooked up

24 years of weddings later and apparently I still haven’t gotten this photography thing out of my system

Honestly?
Wedding photography is basically part chaos, part storytelling, and part catching moments couples didn’t even realize were happening.

And somehow those always end up being the photos people love the most. 🤍

Brides…What’s the ONE photo you already know you want from your wedding day? OR the one photo you treasure from your wedding?
