I am SO excited I am finally able to share these images. Where do I begin with these two? Hands down one of the funniest couples I have ever had the privilege to photograph. It started with our very first consultation at good old Starbucks. Deanna and I share a very similar passion: We absolutely LOVE our dogs, so it was an instant connection....

Engagement shoots are always fun, and mostly because you are able to create images that reflect the relationship between two people. I usually help prepare my clients with clothing options, location options (something that is meaningful to them), and we usually coordinate the entire shoot.

I was never one to like my photograph being taken, ever. I always dreaded it in high school because I hated every single photograph I was in. I never thought highly enough of myself.  Becoming a professional photographer has changed the way I view myself tremendously because for years I've been showing people how beautiful they really are. I would look at photographs some people picked apart of themselves and thought "how? you are absolutely beautiful in this" and it took me years to realize that I was doing the same thing to myself.
