Meet the newest member of the van Tol family and my newest nephew, Micah! I couldn’t be more excited for my sister Gina and Dustin as they welcomed their THIRD boy to their family just a few weeks ago. He is THE sweetest with his perfect little chin and sleepy smiles…    Micah is joining […]

It’s easy to see. Even from across the room. The way they walk hand in hand, harmoniously and fully aware of the other, in a way that could only transpire after their years of skating together. The devotion they shared on the ice is only but complimented in the way they love one another off […]

You might remember seeing the Slate family in my feed over the years. I’ve had the absolute JOY of getting to photograph this sweet family together, and this year, I was SO happy to sneak in a mini-session while I was down in California with them!     I ADORE this family!!! And their boys […]

With Thanksgiving just a few days away, it feels fitting to be sharing this BEAUTIFUL wedding with you today! As I reflect back on this day, I am SO thankful for Lou and Demaris AND all the amazing couples I’ve had the honor of serving this year. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude!!!     Lou + […]

When she first emailed me back in July, I had to do a double take. Sure enough, it was her! It was the same Lauren that was a student of mine while I was teaching at Stone Ridge High School! The same Lauren whom I had taken senior portraits of eight years ago! But this […]

Ever since she emailed me a little over a year ago, I’ve been looking forward to their Chateau Rive wedding!! I was even a bit nervous for our initial Skype meeting, but I instantly felt as if I’d known Mady my whole life! From our first meeting to their engagement session, all the way to […]

Heading to California and reminiscing about my last trip and my time with these THREE brothers!!! They are country boys to the max, give ’em their boots and they are good to go! Let’s just say when they arrived to the session, one (or all) of them had dirt and dust already on their jeans […]

I found your future husband. That’s what her sister said to her over the phone. On the same night and on a mission to matchmake, her sister also showed Mark a picture of Kaylin and suggested they date.     A month later, it was graduation weekend at Cal Poly, and Kaylin came to celebrate […]

I first met the VanSickle family last year when their little Evan was about to celebrate his first birthday! Well, he is about to turn TWO and CUTER than ever!!! I don’t know how that’s even possible!!! And with his word of choice being “yeah” right now, I’d say he is kicking off being two […]
