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 […]

This is the lovely Katie and Myles, and I wish I could photograph them on a weekly basis.

Thanks, you two, for being so willing to wander without […]

Brittany invited me to her family’s ranch outside of Wall a few weeks ago to wander with she and Ryan for engagement photos, and had you been there with us, you would have seen my face light up at every turn. It was heaven for me, as the light was incredible, and being there gave […]
