The forecast had been predicting it all week, and now the wedding day was here. Rain was the last thing Rachel wanted. But this morning, of all mornings it was raining. The bridal prep began and  wedding day setup was underway at the Montellano. Come rain or shine, Rachel and Abel were going to get […]

The crown had been worn by another many years ago. It resembles a timeless beauty and family bonds. The pearls that lay upon her neck had also been worn by another in another time and place. This would be their second wedding to be on display for. Her veil, though delicate, had outlasted. It was […]

He was a groomsmen, and so was her brother. She was a guest in attendance. Growing up in smaller Oklahoma towns, the two knew of each other. But it wasn’t until that wedding that their paths would merge. When I first met Whitney, she told me her and Dillon were classic opposites. She being the […]

You’re engaged! And you may now be deciding, do you have an engagement session or not? I 100% believe that engagement sessions are a necessity. Not for the pictures you’ll get out of the session (even though those are pretty neat to have.) I am a huge fan of them because of the connection and […]

The Third Birthday This past weekend we celebrated the third birthday of my oldest son, Joah. He was born on February 29th, 2016, so he is my little leapling. It’s always a little odd celebrating his birthday on March 1st (the years that Leap Year is absent.) This year is one of those birthdays; my […]

While attending Faith Family Church in El Reno, Rylee got to know and build relationship with Jason’s family. She knew them, before meeting him, so when they did meet, the rest fell into place. There is a saying that when you marry, you marry not just your spouse, but their family too. It’s my opinion […]

There’s something so special about the first 48 hours of life. You’ve just brought this little human into the world, and even though they’ve been with you for the past (typically) 9 months, you’re meeting them for the first time. I am a huge fan of birth photography and fresh 48 sessions, because like weddings, […]

At a recent styled shoot, a colleague of mine, Lauren, had the beautiful idea to bring a crisp white backdrop to use for some Bridal Portraits. I was hesitant at first, but I am now 100% sold. For anyone having a bridal session, I think the option to incorporate a backdrop is a must! In […]

When Josh and I got married, I remember wanting to find a venue that had a loft/industrial touch. For years I had envisioned a garden wedding, but as the venue hunt began, I wasn’t finding the garden look I had in mind. I began envisioning the styles of weddings we could have, and an industrial, […]

You’ve waited for this day for what seems like forever. Maybe you never thought this day would come. Or perhaps, you never saw yourself getting married — but here you are. It’s your wedding day. This day will fly past you in a whirl (believe me — I remember that whirl!) When you look back […]
