Natalie + Colton | Coopers Rock Engagement Session

Over the weekend I met another gorgeous 2020 couple for their engagement session. Although this session had to be rescheduled a few times due to (you know what..), we ended up with the prettiest day possible, Natalie and Colton just looked amazing in their outfit choices, Coopers Rock was beautiful – the list goes on!

Christan + Drew | Downtown Fairmont Engagement Session

I don’t often get the chance to shoot downtown locations when it comes to my engagement sessions but luckily Christan and Drew trusted me and we went for it! You’ll notice quite a few shots of them in front of their favorite little coffee shop (and the place of their second date!) Because of COVID-19, […]

West Virginia University Elopement | Carly + Alex

It’s no secret that COVID is wrecking the wedding industry right now. As sad as I am that my wedding season is being rearranged, I don’t imagine it’s anything close to what my poor couples are feeling right now. Carly + Alex were first up on my schedule this year. I was so excited to […]

This time of year is rough. I hate telling people that I am already booked for their wedding date. However, this is the time of year when it seems like I receive multiple inquires for dates that I’ve had booked for months. I’d imagine it also probably sends a sense of panic back to the […]

Coffee + Cameras | Beginners Camera Class

Whoa.. What a weekend! I had 6 new photographers sitting in front of me expecting me to teach them something. That is SO crazy to me. Like I told them, I am 100% self taught. I didn’t go to school for photography. Never even took a course on it. I learned most everything I know […]

First Look or Traditional?

To do a first look or go traditional… that is the question! Yesterday, I sat down to write a blog on MY thoughts on the matter. What I liked or disliked about either route. When I got about halfway through I realized it was sounding a little to “photographer” and I realize that is not […]
