This is Erika and Peter, and they made my job really easy. And fun. And easy. I would like to take all kinds of credit for these genuine smiles and bursts of laughter (really, I would), but those were simply the result of this couple standing next to one another. It was love at it’s […]

Patrick and Julie, I’m crazy about you. Your wedding day was everything I knew it would be—full of laughter and sweetness and the kind of authenticity that makes my heart smile long after I’ve taken the last wedding photo. Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you. Enjoy a few of my favorites! —js […]

Justin and Kristin, your wedding day was incredible in so many ways. Your love for one another and for your guests was at the center of everything, and I feel incredibly blessed that you asked me to be a small part of it. Thank you for that. Enjoy a few of my favorites! —js ————————————————————– […]

I loved spending time with this extra-sweet couple and their black lab a few weeks ago (pre-snow) in the Hills. I think Remi had the best time of all, however, as he was dressed to impress, AND got to run to his heart’s content. Robb and Amber, thanks for bringing your faithful companion with you, […]

Glen and Sam meandered downtown with me for photos a few weeks back, and I couldn’t be more excited that I get to be a small part of their “I-do’s” next year. Because they’re really funny. And lighthearted. And they can’t help but smile at each other. Friends, thanks for walking and talking, for showing […]

Kyle and Taryn, thank you for asking me to be a part of your wedding day. Your love for each other, and the love of those surrounding you and supporting your marriage, was evident throughout the entire day. I hope you’re loving each moment of this sweet new time in your lives. Marriage is a […]

This perfectly paired couple traveled to the Black Hills to visit family a few weeks ago, and I felt so lucky that our schedules aligned long enough for an early morning engagement session in Rapid City. It was my favorite type of session—the lighthearted kind where we walk and talk and stop for a photo […]

Mike and Paige, thank you for having me along for your nothing-short-of-stunning wedding day, for being so very thoughtful and genuinely happy, and for making me feel like an old friend. I truly enjoyed being with you as you celebrated your marriage with your families, your friends, and all of those hilarious, wonderful kids. Hoping […]

Courtney and Travis, the two of you (and your families!) were amazing to work with. I can’t help but smile when I think back to your wedding day, and hope it was everything you dreamed it would be. Thanks for going with the flow, for believing with me that it wouldn’t rain (we were right!), […]
