Being a “Type A” personality I love the first of the year. To me, January is a huge sigh of relief and it’s not just because I get to toss my old scribbled in planner and pick up a crisp, clean, fresh new one (although that’s not exactly a negative either). I live for a […]

Big Lake, Alaska holds a very special place in my heart. Growing up we spent many summer days at my grandpas cabin, swimming, painting piggie banks, and roasting marshmallows.

privacy of the bridal suite at the beautiful snow peak farm, William is just moments from seeing the love of his life, finally, as his bride. He turns to face away, the door creeks, and the tapping of Jessica’s heels as she enters the room. His heart rate increases, his hands start to shake, the anticipation is almost unbearable.

Sometimes it amazes me how large and how small our world can be and I don’t think I’m alone. That’s why shows like “This is us” are so popular. The way our lives crisscross, intersect, and part is fascinating.

There are so many different ways to plan a wedding. Throughout the pandemic I’ve seen it all. From the micro-wedding to the large and in charge. What never ceases to amaze me is, regardless of how the event actually takes places, my couples absolutely beam on the day of their weddings.

A Letter To My Best Friend on Her Wedding Day

Couples, Engagement, Portraits, Wedding

Deartest Alyssa,  Today is your WEDDING DAY. Can you believe it? There aren’t enough words to express my excitement for you and Dustin. There also aren’t words to express how excited I am to be attending a wedding instead of working it, so thank you for that. You stood by me at my wedding and […]

Madison’s Summer Senior Portraits

Photography, Portraits, Senior

Before I’d ever even picked up a camera, aside from maybe a disposable. I, like many preteens, started my journey in the work force babysitting. Placed conveniently across the cup-de-sac were some family friends with two little girls. The oldest being Brooklyn and then little Madison.
