Kyle and Cynthia, I loved this day. Thank you for staying true to yourselves, despite the loud voices of “supposed to do’s” that you may have heard throughout this process. The simplicity of your vision, your love for each other, and your longing to spend quality time with those closest to you is clear. I […]

Glen and Sam, I am so blessed by your friendship, and can’t quite find the words to explain the gratitude I feel having been part of this day. It was a perfect beginning to what I know will be the happiest of marriages. Enjoy a few of my favorites! —js ————————————————————————– What was the most […]

These two. I couldn’t possibly love them more, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the closer their wedding day gets, and the more time I get to spend with them, that I will continue to fall for them and their story. Kyle and Cynthia took an otherwise lack-luster, cloud-filled afternoon, and turned it into […]

  Sometimes, when people ask me about my in-laws, I tell them I won the lottery. To only say that I’m lucky would be an unfair understatement. My husband’s family has a way of making me feel like I’ve always been there, like I’ve always been one of them. They can give anyone—even a shy […]

Jason and Ally, I loved this day. I loved the excitement of your families. And the simplicity of your ceremony. And the way Scott and Shannon closed their eyes at the sight of your first kiss as husband and wife. There wasn’t a thing about your wedding day that could have been more perfect. Thank […]

Brody, Heidi, and Floyd met me in Silver City for their engagement session, which had previously been cancelled due to way-too-cold-to-look-happy temperatures. I couldn’t have been more pleased about the day we were given, and am feeling especially excited about their wedding this summer. Thanks, guys, for hurrying back across the state to make this […]

Remember these two? It’s been such a blessing to see them grow; from newly-engaged, to newly-wed, and then to newly-a family. I’ve been so very honored to be a part of these milestones, and when they were in the Black Hills last fall, I could hardly contain myself at the thought of taking their family […]

Erik and Maren, I’ve been thrilled about you ever since you first contacted me about your wedding plans. I loved that you wanted to keep things small and simple, and to share your ceremony with those closest to you. There was no shortage of joy on your wedding day, and I couldn’t have been more […]

I’m so excited to share this session! This sweet couple traveled from Sioux Falls for their engagement photos, and even though we didn’t get the picture-perfect snowfall Jen was hoping for, these photos still make me so very happy. Jessie and Jen, thank you for making the trip, for doing a fabulous job of pretending […]

This fun couple was just one of the reasons I loved December. I met up with them in Spearfish for engagement photos, and adored every minute. These two had each other laughing the entire time, which as you’ll clearly see, makes for the very best smiles. Erik and Maren, thanks for traveling this way and […]
