Nature Engagement Photos

Engagements

Springtime in Texas is fleeting. There’s usually about a month, if we’re lucky, of beautiful mid-70’s days. It’s not uncommon to go from 40° one day, to 90° the next. So, you can imagine our excitement when it’s nice enough to be outside without a jacket or an umbrella, and bonus – without breaking a […]

Texas Winter Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

Let’s be honest. Winter in Texas isn’t all that grand. The trees die, it get’s colder than most non-Texans realize, and there’s hardly ever a beautiful blanket of snow to cover up all the ugly. But these two… these two cuties somehow made the dead of winter look absolutely magical at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. […]

Hawaiian Destination Wedding

Oh goodness, I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am to be sharing this Hawaiian Destination Wedding with you today! Lauren and Matt are so, so special to me, and I just can’t get over these photos from their wedding day! They planned their whole wedding from 4,000 miles away in Nebraska. And […]

8 in ’18

Personal

I love traditions…. So much so, that I have a list of around 20 Christmas movies I watch during the month of December. And for the purpose of this story, that list did not include Die Hard. Then I met Trey… And guess what his favorite Christmas movie is? Die Hard. So you can bet Die […]

Best of 2018

Weddings

It’s been one crazy year. And I’ve had a blast going back through that crazy year to take a look at some of my favorite moments of 2018. From Texas to Hawaii and  back home to Texas in on year… As you can imagine, that kind of movement can stir things up a bit. Life […]

Texas Ranch Maternity Session

Portraits

I can’t say enough good things about these two…. From their engagement session to their wedding to their maternity photos… It’s been one incredible journey. I first met Avery at church camp as teenagers. Although we weren’t always the closest of friends, I always thought she was just the sweetest soul. I am so thankful […]

Fall Maternity Session

Portraits

I was just a kid when I first met these two. Literally. I think I was about 10 years old. I knew them individually first before they even knew each other. I participated in community theater with Eric. And Ally was one of my older sister’s friends from high school choir. To me, she was […]

Denton Nature Center Engagement

Engagements

The way she looked at him… The way he looked at her… I swear these two were a match made in Heaven. Kerri and Kevin, are just about as cute as two people can be together. Their entire engagement session was filled with joyous laughter, smiles, and kisses. And most of them were not by my instruction! […]

Arizona Desert Session

Portraits

Little Sage giggled and laughed as Josh tossed her up in the air, Lindsey smiling up at her over Josh’s shoulder. She was having the time of her life, as all little ones should. The world is just one giant playground to her, and she was set on exploring every inch of it. Every so […]

Nebraska Farm Engagement Session

arrow

Engagements

These people. This place. These memories… Lauren’s father walked me around the family farm, telling me the incredibly rich history of the land we were standing on. The farm was over 120 years old. Before his father acquired the land in the 1950’s, it belonged to one of Omaha’s wealthiest families. He showed me an […]

Penn Farm Anniversary Session

Engagements

Almost a year ago… That’s how long ago Katie and I started dreaming about this session. You see we go way back, the two of us. Back almost 20 years. (Yes, we’re getting old). Back to a very happy childhood of community theater, wonderful friends, family, and sweet memories. We remained friends all the way […]

Moana Surfrider Destination Wedding

Weddings

Oh goodness… where do I even begin? Let me just start out by saying Lucy and Josh have the most inspiring, romantic, adventurous story I’ve ever heard. What started as a struggle with a coffee lid and a nice gentlemen helping her out, ended with a move halfway around the world and an “I Do”. […]
