One of my Team in Training friends rocked my world this summer when she completed her first Ironman. The road wasn’t easy and this lady is TOUGH. I got all teary watching her finish on the live finish line webcast. I’m so proud of my teammate and was honored to capture some training photos of her before her big race. Congratulations, Vicki! You are amazing!!

I had so much fun sitting in on this sweet family’s morning. It was POURING down rain so some cooking, games, and snuggle time were definitely in order. I just love my job so much. I’m so lucky to be invited into people’s homes and lives. Thanks Brenda, Patrick and Griffin!

I was so happy when Isaac’s momma emailed me to do his newborn photos. I was lucky enough to capture big brother when he was a newborn as well so it was lots of fun to see him in his new role and see their family grow. Isaac was mellow for most of the shoot and such a cutie! I can’t wait to see him grow!

I met McKenna when she was only 20 minutes old and have been in awe of her ever since — her giant personality, big opinions, sense of humor, and her dance moves – this little girl makes me smile constantly! I’m so lucky to get to be a part of her life! Can’t wait for all of the birthdays to come!

I’ve been DYING to share this wedding with you! Mostly because I just adore the bride and groom (who have been together for 10 years!), but also because they’re gorgeous and so was their big day! Every detail was thought out and it all came together perfectly. The wedding party was really fun to work with and every guest I interacted with was super sweet. Not to mention the team of vendors they chose — amazing! Thank you thank you to my awesome second shooter, Tiphanie! Sorry in advance for the loooong post! I couldn’t resist!

Audrey and Ryan, thank you for trusting me to document your big day! It’s been a joy getting to know you both over the last year and I can’t wait to see you again. I hope you had an amazing time in Kauai and that the newlywed life is exactly what you dreamed of (or better!). All the best to you both!
