There are certain wedding days that just naturally feel like fairy tales. This was one of those days 🤍

The Walkers (and their fur-baby Chewy 🥹) were the most fun. Not to mention, Tabitha’s floral nails matched all of her wedding florals AND her ring… I can’t help myself! 🤩

It has been a MINUTE, friends! Had to pop in your feed to share some sweet details from the first wedding of the year ✨

It’s always an honor to be your wedding photographer, but it’s even more special to shoot a dear friend’s wedding. you were a beauty in every way. Will treasure those quiet moments with you on your special day forever.

Ending the 2022 wedding season on a bright + COLORFUL note! The Chapel of Memories is one of my most favorite places, so to shoot the Taylor wedding there was such a privilege. This day could not have been more beautiful!

I am taking today and tomorrow to recover from the whirlwind of December, then will be getting back into my photo queue in the new year! 2023 is already filling with fantastic couples. I will only be taking one or two more weddings on my calendar as I will be moving to working full-time at my other job! I want to be able to better serve my clients here with the remainder of my “free time,” so my availability will be much more condensed this coming year. I can’t wait to serve each of my couples this next year - may it be full of joy and all things beautiful ✨

This fall weather has been so kind during these last few weeks! It was absolutely perfect for Madie + Tyler’s engagement session. I can’t wait for their wedding in May! 🥳

Busy season has been just that - and galleries are coming along as fast as they can! 🤗 Weddings, engagements, and now grads have filled my calendar for the rest of the year. I am not taking any more sessions for the remainder of this year, and 2023 is filling up fast!

As always, it is the greatest privilege to serve such amazing clients!

Bethany + Luke - You two radiate so much joy. Your love for one another is radiant, and I cannot wait to watch as you step into marriage in May!

Also, in case you haven’t heard, my books are officially closed for the rest of this year! I’m 2023, I will be taking limited grad sessions and only one or two more weddings. NOW is the time to inquire and book! My contact for is on my website.

As always, the opportunity to serve you as your photographer is such an honor. I am blown away by the support I continue to receive 🤍

Emily + Levi - I can’t wait to capture your special day! This gallery is STUNNING, and I’ve only finished a small portion of it. I couldn’t help but share 🤩

Photo editing is back in full swing! After officially becoming Mrs. NICHOLS this weekend, I am back to my full editing capacity. The social media hiatus is over, and I’m so happy to be back! 🥳

These photos were so hard to keep to myself… Now that the Sparnechts are officially MARRIED (!!!), I can finally share Lauren’s jaw-dropping bridal session.

Speechless.

Every moment of a wedding weekend should be remembered. What an honor it was to tag along during the Reetz wedding weekend. From Welcome and Rehearsal Dinners to Golf and Brunch, it was a sweet time of celebration for such a precious couple.

The most beautiful afternoon with the future Nelsons 🤩

Happy Monday ✨ I can’t wait to share more of these engagement photos from this weekend 🤩

I will be out of the office most of this week for work! If you need me, go ahead and shoot me a message or contact me through my website. I’ll be getting back to those as I can! 🤗

Have a great week, friends!

Wow - it has been a MINUTE, but it is so good to be back 🥳 From planning a wedding of my own to recovering from COVID… life has been busy.

Finishing the last of my May editing queue this week! If you’re waiting on a pretty gallery from me, keep your eyes out for that special link 👀

Senior sessions may be over, but I have PLENTY of grads still to share! 🥳 My busiest season yet. Still can’t get over it!

A fun change of scenery to feature these fabulous ✨OlE MiSs✨ grads 😉

Dr. Shotts and her PRECIOUS sidekicks are officially at your service! 🐾

Vet students become some of my favorite clients… Why? Because I always get to meet their furry children 😉

For those waiting to receive a gallery, THANK you for your patience! This has been my busiest season yet - I can’t wait to share your photos with you. 🥳

What happens when you put MK with another human that doesn’t meet a stranger?

You have the most fun session full of belly laughs, new friends (👀 that last pic), and TONS of beautiful photos.

you are the absolute best. Thank you for such a fun few hours. 🤩 Let’s do it again soon? 😉

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it over and over again. I serve the COOLEST grads!

The places I get to go and the people I get to meet while capturing their past four years are the best things about this job. I not only get to shoot some pretty pictures - I get to really know who they are as a person. I love my job.

Celebrating this Graduation Friday with these lovely seniors.

This session was gorgeous in every way. Scroll to the end to see the biggest champagne shower to date - it’s a jaw dropper 🤩

Really wish I could go back in time JUST to have as my teacher 🥺

Your kiddos are going to be BEYOND lucky to have you, Ms. Messer! 🥳

My favorite MSU tradition? It HAS to be the cowbell.

If you’ve never been in Davis Wade with thousands of cowbells ringing simultaneously… add it to your bucket list 😉 It’s a glorious sound.

This girl is an absolute rockstar. She’s got beauty, brains, a little sass… and a really cool degree. Oh, and a rocket named the “Trash Panda.” I just really love - she’s on to do great things! 🤩

I just cannot begin to express how GRATEFUL I am to be serving so many seniors this year. Each one has been so special to me - thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Another Senior with beauty AND brains! She’s about to take the Chemical Engineering world by storm.

What a sweet mini high school reunion this session was! and - you don’t know how much my heart needed those short few hours of shooting 🥺

Women 👏 in 👏 STEM!!

One of my favorite parts about getting to know the Grads I work with is seeing how diverse and how BRILLIANT each of them are! The next generation of leaders in the industry are right in front of me, and I have the honor of preserving this milestone for them. How crazy is that?

Another senior gallery complete! 🥳
