“If I were to live a thousand years, I would belong to you for all of them. If we were to live a thousand lives, I would want to make you mine in each one.” – Michelle Hodkin // 1/3 of my favorite group of brothers in the world and I am beyond excited to get a camera on Beau + Blair. So grateful that they allowed me to be here for this incredible session!

“He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.” — Leo Tolstoy // One of the most dramatic couple's sessions I've ever shot. One of the most beautiful weddings I've ever seen. One of the shortest blogs I've ever written.

“She had blue skin, And so did he. He kept it hid And so did she. They searched for blue Their whole life through, Then passed right by- And never knew.” ― Shel Silverstein // My perfect afternoon with Kelsey + Ronnie. This session was amazing and so authentic.

Most adventures don't end up under a waterfall but this one did. Most adventures don't include killing a poisonous snake with a rock but this one did. Most adventures don't require you to stand on the edge of a 100 ft cliff and lean back but this one did. Most adventures should be more like this one. // 

"For where thou art, there is the world itself, and where though art not, desolation." - William Shakespear

"Do I love you? My God, if your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches." - William Goldham // What would life look like if you spent your days doing what you wanted to do instead of what you have to? This session with Erin + Steve was full of adventure, but simply because they're adventurous. 

We aren't wedding photographers - we're story tellers - we're editorial photographers - we're artists - we're friends. Nancee + Rich is the perfect example of why I do this job, because when everything comes together the last thing a couple needs is a stranger with a camera in the room. Those fast little moments you don't want to forget only happen when you forget that the photographer isn't just a guest. // "You have been in every prospect I have ever seen since – on the river, on the sails of the ships, on the marshes, in the clouds, in the light, in the darkness, in the wind, in the woods, in the sea, in the streets. You have been the embodiment of every graceful fancy that my mind has ever become acquainted with." - Charles Dickens

“There are three faithful friends: an old wife, an old dog, and ready money.” —Benjamin Franklin // Don't miss my quick little session with two of my favorite people. It's been almost a year since they tied the knot and I just can't seem to get them away from my camera - but this time they brought a little buddy to play too.

“If I had a flower for every time I thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever.”
— Alfred Tennyson // These two haven't even been married for 4 days yet and I couldn't wait any longer to show them off. This trip to California was an easy favorite for me, and though I spend a lot of time on the road these days this wedding was something special.

"What Is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul" — Victor Hugo // A warm spring day with the perfect light and no real place to go. This is the perfect example of what I love about engagement sessions where the focus is on the relationship and not just the photos. 

"I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)."— ee cummings // A full day packed full of those moments you just wish would happen more often. Clair + Zann's wedding day was perfect from start to finish and the story of these two together couldn't be more beautiful. 

Absolutely in awe of this styled shoot pulled together with a few of our close vendor friends from around Northwest Arkansas. // "Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shelby + Jarret are like that first breath of crisp winter air. This wedding was full of so many high points I struggle even knowing where to start. // "Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired." -ROBERT FROST

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close." Pablo Neruda // Once upon a time I helped a group of boys focus on learning about God at one of the most amazing youth ministries I've ever seen. 10 years later Matt calls to say he's getting married. It's a good story and she's an amazing girl. You'll see.
