The first time I met Shelby and Tyler, it was at her sister’s wedding last Fall. I absolutely adore the Woodward’s, so I was suuuuper excited to spend another wedding day with them and meet Tyler’s family!…

I think it's true that the energy we put out into the world comes back to us. Sometimes that's in the form of life events. Sometimes that's in the form of relationships. If you're really lucky, it's both. When I first met Elizabeth and Dan, I could sense how chill and laid back they were, which totally spoke to me. Once we started shooting their engagement session the other night, I watched another layer peel back and saw just how much joy and laughter they share, together. I aim to bring that to all of my sessions, but these two brought it in spades so I just sat back and enjoyed the love and happiness that was unfolding!…

Sometimes when you're hustling away, you don't see all of the growth and positive strides that is happening in the background. That's how I felt this year, but December is really reminding me how much I've grown as a business woman, a photographer and a person. I went into 2017 with my head down and blinders on. I just wanted to work hard and stick to my roots without comparing my journey to everyone else's. The internet is a wonderful, magical place but it also has a very awful way of making a person feel inadequate. I mean, how many of you felt the need to paint your walls white, put shiplap in your home or have mermaid hair?! I know I had a few very specific moments where I didn't feel good enough, but I had plenty of people inadvertently reminding me that I got this. This blog is dedicated to them and my wonderful 2017 couples. Thank you for trusting me and my artistry and for being open to this wonderful wedding process. Beyond that, thank you for your friendship!
So here are some of my favorite moments from this wedding season!

Since the wedding haze of September hasn't really hit me yet, I figured I'd sneak in a blog or two on some sessions other than brides and grooms :P This session with Melissa and T.J. was in June for the kiddos birthdays (anyone else a June baby? I am, too!). I've photographed these guys quite a few times now, and Harper and Zander sure know how to keep me on my toes in the best way possible. Our first session involved matching Batman and Robin capes, our second was a light saber sword fight, our third involved some good ole' fashioned Cleveland Browns gear and our latest one, T.J. not so sneakily tied in some wine and gold colored clothes because they're big Cavs fans like I am. Needless to say, I appreciated the outfit choices :P
