Fall should by synonymous with Cold Spring Village. SO MANY of my couples are drawn to the beauty this property holds and it is OFTEN the backdrop to many of my couples engagement sessions.

This was a wedding FILLED with tears, laughs and “OMG’S”. Today we joke about how Brittany and Steve are going to be the luckiest married couple ever because they had a TRIFECTA of things go wrong on wedding day. 10 minutes before we had to get her over to the chapel to get married, Brittany’s […]

Perfect weather, perfect session, perfect couple. I get to meet so many different couples from so many different places.

There is one post I think I have dreaded to compose over the years, SIMPLY because I am NOT A MASSIVE fan of having my photo taken: THE BEHIND THE SCENES POST! Vain, maybe. But as you will see in the following Behind the Scenes post, I AM TRULY the goober on the inside. Strictly […]

HOT PINK….GOLD GLITTER….POPS OF PURPLE….It was literally a “poppin palate” of colors on this gorgeous fall day at the Smithville Inn. The bride stunned in a mermaid gown that was filled with tulle by the skirt and embellished with rhinestones all over the bodice. Lisa and Brian waited for what seem like an eternity for this […]

This entire day I felt like a guest standing up, with a fancy camera, taking pictures. I never once felt like hired help or the pressure of a “job” to do. Rachel and John QUICKLY make you feel like family. They make you laugh and feel as though you have been their best friends since […]

  Let’s face it….education in our ever growing and changing industry is VITAL to growth and success. I, myself, have attended many coaching sessions, conferences, mentoring, etc. I knew that before I really wanted to delve into hosting my own workshop, I wanted to make sure I had some tips and tricks of my own…and […]

From every end comes a NEW beginning. Change is NEVER easy. Never! It is true when they say that “Gods laughs when you make plans” because GOD ALREADY HAS a plan for each of us. When I started this business of mine almost 6 years ago, I started by shooting newborns. I practiced my shooting on donkeys […]

It’s no secret: Family Portraits are TOUGH! They are stressful, they take planning, effort and are unpredictable! Especially when kiddos are too young to fully BRIBE!

I first met the Lane Family when I had the insane pleasure of shooting Julia (their eldest daughter’s) senior portraits last summer.
