Lately, I’ve been working with models to get out of my comfort zone and refine my portrait style. I have to say, it’s been awesome! Nicole is the first signed model I’ve ever worked with. It’s always slightly awkward taking photos in public – people always stare. I guess it makes sense – why is […]

Had a great time meeting #girlboss Sonia Begonia! In just 30 minutes, we were able to shoot 2 looks – a normal outfit and her July 4th outfit.

W-O-W what an amazingly fun couple they were for my first engagement session in California. Marie and Oliver met in high school and have been together ever since!

Darby’s grad session was so fun! She brought a friend with her to help out with the shoot and make her laugh, and her name was also Darby – Darby squared! What are the odds? We had a variety of stops around campus – Starbucks on Paul Bryant, the Theta house (before it got torn down!), […]

Had so much fun with these two (+ my boyfriend as an assistant) at this engagement session in Cullman, AL! I was scouting out locations online, but who would have known that Bennett’s backyard would have so many places – the gate, magnolia wall, and bench swing. Their wedding is in December, and I can’t […]
