A couple weekends ago I was able to show my grandpa (who barely even knows what the internet is, much less how to actually use it), my website for the very first time.  He has heard me talk about my photo shoots and weddings but never completely understood the extent of what I actually do.  […]

Hi there – it’s been a whirlwind of activity over here and I’m so excited to share a few details regarding my next project!  Kellie of Hetler Photography and I are teaming up again to create some beautiful holiday magic.  I’ve got some new things up my sleeve and while I can’t share all those […]
