I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

She stared nervously at her reflection in the mirror of the condo bedroom, her dangly earrings sparkling and her Melissa Sweet eyelit lace gown looking perfectly and beautifully bridal. Then Kristy’s face split into a grin. “It’s starting to feel real,” she said. A few miles away at home, Nick was getting ready with his […]

At Kaci and Frank’s St. Patrick’s Day wedding, Danny and I weren’t the only ones with cameras. Eric of Eric Horner Films, along with his assistant, Scotty, were right with us every step of the way, capturing some incredible footage of the wedding, which is now this beautiful wedding video. It gave me chills and […]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again (and when I’ve said it before, I’ve even said “I’ll say it again” then, too): I love my brides. I love them. I love that my brides are excited for their wedding day. I love that my brides are even more excited for their marriages, even more […]

From early in their relationship, Frank knew Kaci was The One. She cemented that when she told him that she didn’t want a big wedding. She wanted something cozy and intimate, something that wouldn’t put her in the spotlight too long. And right then, Frank wanted Kaci to be his wife. Okay, maybe that wasn’t […]

We held our collective breaths — and prayed nonstop — that the rain would pass in time for Amber and Daniel’s outdoor wedding and reception. We watched the rain fall that morning, moving the planned bridal brunch picnic inside, and we watching it rain again that afternoon, keeping some of our portraits under cover on […]

Kaci wasn’t sure she would be able to get through her vows without crying, but this morning she belted out her promise to love him for a lifetime as confidently as any soul-singing diva. Frank said the fact that they were getting married didn’t really hit him until their rehearsal last night, but today he […]
