It was 2009. We were dating, nearly engaged, and on our way back from a trip to visit my family in Springfield when the conversation happened. You know, the big one about dreams and 10 year plans and God’s will for our lives. If you could do anything, have anything, go anywhere, what would […]
They say it’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day, right? If that’s the case, Craig + Erica should be lucky for life! Their March wedding was shrouded in grey as fog clouds and an incessant drizzle settled in for the day. The St. Louis weather was wet and dreary, but […]
If there’s one word I’d use to describe Kris + Meghan’s gorgeous February wedding at Windows On Washington, it would be legacy. Every part of their navy + gold affair pointed toward their family, their heritage, the legacy left behind by others, and the legacy that Kris + Meghan will build together. Every […]
In October of 2014, I decided I wanted to take the leap and try to do photography, specifically wedding photography, full-time in 2015. I set lofty goals and was thrilled when we exceeded them! I went from shooting seven weddings total to shooting 20 weddings and 92 portrait sessions within one year! It was an incredible […]
It was 6 am on Christmas Eve, 2009. I was asleep in my apartment and I heard the front door close. A few steps later, my bedroom door softly swung open, spilling a tiny bit of light into the dark. I was either too asleep to consider that a murderer could be breaking into […]
I was 19. A Sophomore in college, pursuing a degree in Worship Arts. I had just started an internship at a large, local church and was so excited to see what God had in store for me there. I was not shy, but quiet, and ever observant. Which is why it’s so weird that […]
Today, we’re throwin’ it back to the day Matt + Emily got married. To the day it rained nearly nonstop. To the day we captured a rainbow during bridal party formals. To the day our groom + his amazing, pregnant bride climbed a massive, muddy hill for a shot in the rain during the […]
I first met Samantha several years, long before I was a photographer. Her brother was a very dear friend of ours and she was a a dear friend of my best friend’s sister (did you follow all of that?!). We’ve run into each other a few times at get togethers over the years, but […]
Luke + Lauren’s winter engagement session at Castlewood State Park was nothing short of an adventure. 40 degree weather (we were so thankful for the sunshine though!), hiking up snowy bluffs, underestimating the mileage between our starting location + where we wound up, and going home totally covered in mud! And did I […]
We met at the Jewel Box that morning. It was bitter and blustery outside, only 12 degrees, but the Jewel Box seemed like the perfect place for an engagement session in the middle of January! Imagine our disappointment when we arrived to find it unexpectedly closed for the day. After already rescheduling once […]
