iā€™m not even kidding from the very *first* email i ever received from emily i knewwww we were going to hit it off!! and clearly, because we obviously didnā€™t have annny fun at their engagement session šŸ˜‰

kidding!!! i think we laughed the whole time and could have talked & hung out the whole evening!!

clayton grew this flower field just for her & their engagement session šŸ„¹ so sweet & thoughtful!! itā€™s a true joy to be a witness of their love story!!!

as much fun as we had at this session, i canā€™t wait for the wedding!!

this beautiful girl is another one i have been photographing since she was little šŸ„¹ these are sooo bittersweet! so excited for the amazing future she has ahead of her, but dang i canā€™t believe the sweet little 8 year old girl with a smile that lights up every room is already a senior in high school!!!

itā€™s been such an honor watching her grow up!! so glad we arenā€™t done working together yet because i canā€™t wait to work some more magic with her throughout the rest of the year!!
