Family & Kids

A family who I get to see year after year is the Ohloffs and, oh, they are so much fun. First of all, they always have the best style game. (See: engagement, wedding, family, and family) And I have also gotten to see Jordyn and Emily grow up all the way from itty bitty flower […]

I’ve gotten to photography a lot of milestones in Cortney & Christian’s life together, including their engagement, their wedding, and their maternity shoot in the snow, just before Charlotte was born!
