Mark + Micah

February 5, 2025 0 Engagement

It’s EXTRA EXTRA special when I get to photograph big seasons of life like this for friends. Mark and Micah are both very dear friends who I have shared a lot of special memories with over the years. I know everyone likes to claim they “called it” after people get in a relationship but TBH I’ve been waiting for them to get together for a while now. I thought surely they would be a perfect fit for each other. At some point back in the summer, Micah called me to tell me she was in a relationship and then proceeded to ask if I wanted to guess who it was, well I chose not to guess but I would have been right if I did. 😂 Let’s just say I wasn’t the least bit surprised.

Well anyway I flew down to Texas a few weeks ago to spend the week with my Texan pals, I spent most of the time hanging out with Micah and Mark and we went out one night to take these engagement pictures. We also did night photos which I’m obsessed with but they did not fit into this blog post. I will be posting them sooooon (or never depending on if I remember or not 🤭)

People always ask me if I actually enjoy taking photos for friends…and the answer is YES I do! It’s more meaningful to me when it’s people I have shared life with that are on the other side of my camera. Also it’s just extra time to get to hangout with them. I loved this session even more since I live hundreds of miles away and haven’t got to be around to spy on them while they’ve been falling in love. 🤭 May can’t come to soon!

As Always thanks for tagging along!

PS: I don’t know if anyone actually reads these blog post but I’m just here to dump photos and also to spew random facts 🤪….

Kristin and Drew ~ Summer Engagement Session

September 9, 2024 0 Engagement

Kristin and Drew had the perfect summer engagement session. Kristin contacted me several months ago, asking about having me photograph her wedding. I set up a client consultation call we her and knew immediately that we would get along so well. When we met in person I knew their session would be a breeze.

What a joy it was to photograph these two and their sweet young love! We hit it off right from the start and they got super comfortable in front of the camera, super fast! It’s summer sessions like this one that give me a fresh reminder of why I love my job soooo much. The green and the golds from this day were amazing and the weather turned out perfect. The joy and the laughter between these to is unmatched! Y’all are welcome in front of my camera anytime! June can’t come soon enough, I know your wedding will be even better than this!

As always, thanks for tagging along,
