I smiled when I read Jon and Kannan’s favorite things about one another. Yes, they were particularly sweet, but I wasn’t smiling only because of that. It was because I remember noticing those very things in the short time we spent wandering Wall Drug. I say that not to claim how well I know them, […]

A few weeks ago I met up with Austin and Anne for a quick engagement shoot.  They’d already had engagement photos taken by a friend, so I promised it could be short and sweet—just for wedding day practice.  After the first 5 minutes, I was trying to think of ways to make it not short […]

I’ve been so excited to show off this adorable couple. We met up several weeks ago for their engagement session, and I can hardly wait for their wedding. Luckily for me, it’s in just a couple of weeks, so I won’t have to wait too much longer. Jessica & Josh, thank you so much for […]

Even though this is my most recent session, I decided to let Jenny & Kenny cut in the “to-be-blogged” line, as they’re getting married TOMORROW in Custer State Park.   They were such sports about being up and at ’em when the sun rose, and about fitting in engagement photos the week of the wedding, […]

Say hello to Ryan and Kari from Massachusetts. Kari emailed this spring about my summer availability, and I instantly fell in love with her. I knew right away that I wanted to shoot their wedding day, and after getting to spend a very early morning with them, I can hardly wait for September to arrive. […]

Meet C.J. and Whitney. They’re very fun,  very beautiful, and are very excited to be getting married next spring in Whitney’s hometown, Birmingham, AL.  There were a whole lot of factors that went into making this one of my favorite engagement sessions ever—gorgeous light, lighthearted company, and endless laughter being at the top of the […]

Annalies is the kind of girl who lets life surprise her, leading her where it may. Like the time it lead her from California to Wyoming. To Scott.  To a gorgeous little family. To an upcoming wedding. And to what is sure to be a very happy marriage. A wonderful surprise, indeed. Scott and Annalies, […]

It’s safe to say that Laura would have happily agreed to be Casey’s bride no matter what the circumstances, but it didn’t hurt that his proposal included a puppy. In December, Casey surprised Laura with a diamond ring and a golden retriever, and this coming September, the three of them will officially begin their happily-ever-after. […]

Last month I got to meet Andrew and BryAnn at her family’s cabin in the Hills, and I left feeling overjoyed that my job involves time spent with smart, kind, genuine people who love each other dearly. Does it get any better than that? We roamed the area looking for light, laughing at Andrew’s secret […]

It was cold. A South-Dakota-in-February-kind-of-cold. And because it doesn’t matter if the person behind the camera bulks up with cold weather attire, I felt that I should at least give Kelly and Lisa the chance to wait for a warmer day. But, thanks to their adventurous spirit, we took a chance. After we began to […]
