A few years ago Stephanie and I were walking through the streets of Antigua, Guatemala when she asked me where I wanted to see my photography business go. I told her about my dreams of becoming a wedding photographer, of painting the stories of people who just want to do the rest of their lives together, and capturing deep emotion. She helped me plan a path towards wedding photography while speaking life and promise into my heart. It was amazing to have another human listen and dream alongside me. Fast-forward to April 14th, 2019 in Toccoa, Georgia where I was able to photograph HER as she married her God-given soulmate under the highest waterfall in the state!

r session will look different depending on your photographer’s style and vision. When you look through your engagement, wedding or family pictures you’re looking through the eyes of the creative you trust to record your story, and that we might not all see it the same way.

Last year was a gift! The year 2018 started on a couch in my best friend’s basement in Kokomo, Indiana. Haha It was wonderful! From Georgia’s pines to Chicago’s wind to California’s coastline to Thailand’s warm sun… It’s been a crazy adventure! I don’t think 2019 will be anything less.
2019? Iceland! This year in May, I am actually going to Iceland! Eeeekkkkk! I have travel buddies, and tickets to fly! We are all still doing a lot of planning and chatting about what we want to see/do/explore while there, but it is going to be a blast and I CANNOT WAIT to take you all with me through posts and blogs!

A few years ago my friend Nathan packed up his minivan and moved to Nashville, TN to pursue his dream of helping refugees integrate into the US. A short time later the program was shut down leaving him with the choice to tuck tail and head home or stick it out and find a new job in his new home. He called his mom and told her he was going to stay. He had not been in the Nashville area long, but had already found a church and was plugged in there. He was helping with the parking ministry and needed to be there every Sunday to direct the able bodied youngsters to the back of the parking lot so the elderly and pregnant women could park close! Knowing her son all too well she simply asked, " Nathan, What is her name?"
He replied, "Hannah."

“And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70
And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Oh me I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are” ~Ed Sheeran
I won't be holding my breath for chariots
I'm not just waiting for skies to part
You've been my glimpse of Kingdom right from the start
And you got me touching heaven, ooo
Got me touching heaven, ooo
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
"You and I
We're fire and water
You and I
We're rain and thunder
You and I
There is no other
You and I"
