Whelp, what's on my mind is Serious Shirley ,with special guest Teri Lee Vannoort filling in for Mr Kyler, had a super fun show at The Den on a snowy December 6th and it just so happens that's the night my camera had a freaking stroke. Pretty much the shutter was getting stuck so movement made for zero focus. 🫠 They made it pretty hard to not get at least a bunch of great pics and I managed to salvage a couple more, but these may not all look the very bestest and that's on me... equipment failure is real, ya'll. I will be getting a new kit asap and we'll get a bunch more abfab pics next go round!! 🥳 Also- there was a special guest emu that kind of stole the show. 😉

So, on September 6th I got to do something new to me- I got to shoot the wedding of the most beautiful young couple ever! Amy and Ryan are so much fun, and wanted pictures to reflect that- about as laid back as you can be and not super "posey." I feel like these are pretty good representatives of them! I took over 550 pictures, and edited down to 78, but I'm not going to post them all here. I do think I have a pretty good mix of the fun from that day included here though. Thank you to the Kilmers for allowing me to take part in your special day. It was amazing to witness the love between you both and your stunning family. I hope you love your pictures as much as I do!

So I got to do something new this past weekend and shoot the wedding of the most fun and laid-back couple ever, Amy Jo and Ryan Kilmer! I'm so glad you let me be a part of your special day and I hope I captured some of the best moments for you. Here's just a little sneak peek for you, I took over 500 pics so there will definitely be more coming soon. 😄And Amy, I'm still pretty positive we must be related somehow! I hope you enjoy!!

Hey all, I'm still here! 😄 What a summer!! I'm all moved into my new place and slowly getting things put away.. including my photography stuff. Yay!! It's that time of year to start thinking about fall foliage photo shoots and spooky shoots. Super yay!! I have a few things scheduled already, but get a hold of me if you want to get something on the books.. the idea machine is already chuggin' away!!
