Sometimes a wedding stops being “work” and turns into a time machine.

I’ve known Hannah’s parents for a long, long time. Phil and I are the kind of friends who wouldn’t help each other avoid trouble… we’d just end up sitting in the next cell together. (And yes, I’m still calling it The Fairview Incident.)

Even though we don’t get to see each other as much as we should, when we do, it feels like no time has passed. So watching Phil give his daughter away—watching Hannah walk in as this glowing, beautiful bride with the BEST smile—was equal parts proud and right in the feels. There’s just something different about being there for the big moments of people who knew you back when you were young and dumb (emphasis on dumb).

All day I kept hearing one phrase in my head: “Shoot how it feels, not how it looks.”
So yes—there’s dramatic skies, soft light, and all the pretty details… but what I want you to see is the real stuff: the nervous smiles, the deep breaths, the tears that tried to hide, the laughter that didn’t.

Hannah + Michael… thank you for trusting me with your day. Phil & family… thank you for letting me be there for one of the biggest chapters.

Because in the end, the photos you treasure most aren’t the ones that look perfect—
they’re the ones that feel like love.

A chapel that glowed, a sky that blushed purple, and two people who never stopped smiling.
Congrats, Andy & Letitia—may every storm give you an umbrella moment. 🥂💜🌧️

⚽🔥 Friday night lights. A scoreboard full of memories. And one senior who left it all on the field.

Another gallery of Sam Waybright, and this set hits different — Lincoln Cougar pride, the captain’s armband, and that drive you can see in every frame.

Sam, you’ve grown into a leader both on and off the field, and I can’t wait to see what you do next. 👊

The next chapter in a story I’ve been telling since 2004.

Over 20 years ago, I had the honor of photographing Brody Lane’s parents on their wedding day… and now here I am, photographing their son as a high school senior and standout baseball player for RCB!

Time really does fly—but watching Brody step into his moment behind the lens was surreal (and made me feel just a little old 😅).

Proud to be part of your family’s story all these years later.

Lifeguard on duty!.
Meet Charlee Scheuvront, senior at RCB High School, swimmer, lifeguard, and all-around powerhouse. From guarding the pool deck to gliding through the lanes, Charlee brought bold energy and confident grace to every frame of her senior session.

Let’s hear it for the Class of 2025! 🎓✨

I did some portraits of Cade from Lincoln. Just some sneak peeks while we wait for Football and Basketball uniforms. Then we're gonna blow your minds!

Did (another) little shoot with Payton. Tried some new things. Tried some old things. She always makes it look easy!
