I don’t know if you know this about Brad Morin or not, but he has one of the most infectious laughs I have encountered. With it, a warm, beautiful smile. His soul is kind and you can see it in his eyes. I am blessed to have been a part of this family’s final step toward their Brad becoming a Priest- something he has known he wanted to do since

Published! Lizzy’s Fresh Coffee – Talent Blend
Every once in a while, I get a wild streak and I enter a few photography contests with the work, I feel, speaks to people. It’s been a couple months since I had entered any, and honestly, I forgot that a couple were still running. I checked my email yesterday morning as I always do and I had an email from a Lizzy. I knew no Lizzys and I almost
Texas. It’s where I was born and raised. When people ask me where I’m from, the answer is “Texas!” every time. I grew up in Katy… before half of Katy was considered Houston (Fry Rd, anyone?). I spent 19 years of my life holding a Katy address. Every time I go back it is a little bit more foreign. There are new businesses, taller buildings, higher garages, and new roads

US Army – Inspired Maternity Session
While doing my usual morning routine of coffee and emails, I came across a very timid and shy-sounding email from a US military wife. She wanted something special for her husband who was deployed. Whether or not he would be home in time for the birth of his first son, Carson Pete, was still up in the air and I could tell this worried her a bit. I shot her

Country Girl Boudoir in Maine
One of my absolute favorite people in this tiny little town in the St. John Valley ventured into my Madawaska, Maine photography studio earlier this week. She came with a Pinterest Board full of ideas and inspiration for her country-themed boudoir session. I like when a model shows up with some ideas of their own! Together we created some fun, moody, and absolutely sexy images. We played with some harsh

Finding Wedding Vendors is NOT Simple, People.
How do my brides pick and choose their vendors?! Oh. My. God. My first mistake? Posting an ad on Craigslist detailing exactly what I wanted from potential vendors- a link to their website, a link/pdf to/of their prices, and to tell me a little bit about their company. Sounds simple, right? (I’m saying this a lot lately.) Wrong! Vendors! This is to you, so pay attention. READ THE WHOLE AD!

A Date and A Budget!
“They” say the first thing you should do before any planning, is set a date and a budget. Simple enough, right? Sure, if you have no one to invite… Sure, if your fiance is great with numbers… Sure, if you know how much it costs to set up and deliver a class-act wedding… Did you know the average price tag on a wedding in the US is somewhere close to

Sylvia + Travis | A Winter Engagement
36 degrees, partly cloudy, and windy as hell. I met up with Sylvia and her fiance’ Travis just before 4pm in front of their log cabin in the woods. It was absolutely adorable. Dark, chocolate brown logs, stacked neatly, one on top of the other. It looked like Lincoln Logs – life size! On top of the cabin was a bright orange roof. Sylvia was right- you couldn’t miss this
