My family recently had the opportunity to celebrate with Mark and Brylie as they got married! We have known Brylie for quite some time and have gotten to know Mark these last few months as we did premarital counseling together. It has been such a joy to anticipate and prepare for this day with them! […]

Mark and Brylie’s Wedding

People don’t usually remember the stuff they get, but they do remember the way you make them feel. (And stuff eventually ends up at the dump anyway, even if you try to hang on to it for far too long. Remember the hoarder house??) One unique way to make people feel loved is with a […]

If ever there is a fleeting season to get photos, it is the newborn stage! You wait a week or two, then four, then you’ve missed your opportunity. But if you can motivate yourself to make them happen, they are such special pictures to have and definitely worth the effort. We were very fortunate to […]

Some of our good friends were gifted a certificate for family photos by a sweet lady we know (side note – this is a great gift to give to a young family!), and we finally got the pictures done last week! Rain caused us to bump them back a day, and all that rain left […]

A Purpose Behind Family Photos

How hypocritical is it to say that I don’t really like having my picture taken? I love taking other people’s pictures, but myself…..not so much. However, even I enjoyed it when Korey and I had engagement photos taken by a sweet friend. The engagement period is an exciting time, and everything leading up to the […]

We recently partied like it was 1999!! Okay, maybe that’s a bit of a stretch. Or is it? Seeing as how I was in junior high in 1999, the partying we did at our friends’ North Texas outdoor wedding on Saturday was pretty equivalent to the level of partying I did then. But I suppose […]

North Texas Outdoor Wedding

I had the privilege of taking some outdoor family photos for my sweet friend, Claire, on some of her family’s property in North Texas a few days ago. I was outside for a large part of that afternoon before we did the pictures, and it was a beautiful, sunny day. A hat-and-sunglasses-preferred kind of day. […]

Summer’s coming, and that means lake time!!! I had the opportunity to take some family photos at the lake for some of our sweet friends recently. It worked out particularly well because they have a really awesome Airbnb they also wanted me to take photos of, so my family came with me and we made […]

I have a very dear friend who is very different from me. Our big values align, but the small things are just….different. She is the kind of person that you want to know when the zombie apocalypse happens. Think of a modern day version of your pioneer great great grandmother. Whereas I’m the one that’s […]
