Hello

Laura & Kevin

A Wilson’s Ciderhouse Rainy Fall Wedding

Weddings

We have had the rainiest start to fall this year, which has made for some tricky weddings. In the beautiful rolling hills at Wilson’s Ciderhouse, the ground was soggy at best and had standing water at worst. Not just that, but rain was forecasted all day Saturday. Time to get creative! I kept the radar […]

The Smith Family

A Kent Park Summer Family Shoot

Family & Kids

I’ve been lucky to photograph the Smith family many times over the years and looking back at their previous sessions always makes me smile, particularly when I see how much affection Owen has for his little sister.

Some of their favorite times are spent there with their dog, Rory, and their 6 chickens and it was an immediate […]

Erin & John

A Copper Creek Ridge Summer Wedding

Weddings

It was a day that had a bit of everything: rain, wind, sun, humidity, joy, sadness, tears, laughter. With so much love and excitement, Erin’s mom, Diane, had helped plan Erin & John’s wedding day. Erin had told me how much her mom loves photos and, though she was battling cancer and would need breaks […]
