Sarah has to be one of the most creative, artistic, and inventive brides I have ever met. I was so excited when we talked about her wedding & all the details she’d been working on. I felt so honored that she saw something in my personal work and trusted me to capture her wedding in […]

My cousin Angie may fool you with her pretty pastel dress, but this woman is clearly one of the bravest I have ever met. She works as a nurse and loves to “jump out of perfectly good airplanes” on her days off. She’s also been working hard to lose an impressive amount of weight this […]

    Thank you for such a wonderful day Andrea! I had so much fun spending time with you. You are an amazing photographer! Our pictures are beautiful! 🙂

I never aspired to be a wedding photographer. I think if I had, I would have been much better prepared as a business woman. I like to plan ahead. I like to have goals. In more than one sense, this is the irony of my life as a student turned Air Force wife and graphic […]

    hi! I’m 16 and have done an engagement session, family portrait session, and 3 of my friends senior pictures.. I am really enjoying what i’m doing and want to learn more! So looking around your website, i LOVE our style of photography! I Own a Canon Digital Rebel Xsi and use a telephoto 70-300 lense and was wondering what you use? I want to know what i really should invest in. The only other piece of equipment i have is a tripod haha. The lighting in your pics is just SO beautful! I’m looking to buy a new lense 🙂 Thanks 🙂

    Thank you Sarah, and I’m glad you enjoy photography too! My cameras & lens collection has been growing over the years. Over time you learn what you enjoy using & what you don’t. It’s not so much that one is right and another is wrong (although if you are documenting events, you quickly learn some are more suited for certain places than others). I love using zoom lenses for children & event photography. I love using my primes for newborn portrait sessions and still life. I shoot with Nikon, but they are both amazing brands with a lot of good stuff in their lines ups. I preferred my 70-200 lens for a long time, but now I’m really appreciating my 24-70- it helps to tell the “complete” story a little better! Best of luck to you with everything!

    Hi Andrea,

I’ve been taking a few classes, and have a base of information about photography in general, but I really want to get a first hand view of what it’s like to be a wedding photographer. I really love your work and your style. I was wondering if you would possibly have any internship opportunities avaliable this summmer or even next summer? Thank you so much for your time! have a wonderful day!

    Best,

    Hi Kate, that is really cool… I’m excited for you and what you do in the future! At this time I’m not doing anything like that, but in the future I would definitely consider it. Find me on Facebook & keep in touch, so that I can let you know if I do 🙂
