AUTHENTICITY OVER EVERYTHING
We live in a world where it’s far too easy to make fake look great. It’s why every single photo on this website and especially the stories below are filled with nothing but real photos of real clients. No styled shoots, no gimiicks, no pinterest page inspired work - just the most recent, most raw, and most real moments happening in my life and the lives of our clients lately.
Camille + David. The perfect afternoon engagement
Just to be asked to be a part of this wedding was an honor. To spend an afternoon chasing around Camille + David and to witness just how perfect they are together was something completely special for me. // “So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
WEDDING STORY . Yanina + Justin Cabo
FEAR. WE ALL FACE IT.

Katie + Jonathan
World, meet Katie and Jonathan. Sweetest couple ever. This engagement shoot was amazing, cold, and wet.
Rainy Engagement in Arkansas. Katie + John
This engagement session in Northwest Arkansas was shot completely in the rain and the end result was perfect. One of my very favorite engagement sessions in a long time and they did all the hard work for me. HUGE shoutout to these two for being so willing! //

To make you feel my love // Bob Dylan

Engaged in Arkansas. Hayley + Danny
Two absolutely genuine people spending the afternoon wandering around the hills on the Missouri line.

When I am old and alone, I will remember that I once held something truly beautiful.”
—Joe Dunthorne, Submarine
GETTING CHILLS IN FAYETTEVILLE . Amanda + Brad WEDDING STORY

NEVER FEAR AN ADVENTURE, BUT RATHER CHASE AFTER IT.
Turks & Caicos Wedding Story with Kristina + Colin
In short I will part with anything for you but you. Mary Wortley Montagu // This wedding was an absolute dream.

Boho Engagement Session. Sofia + Jeremy
The authentic self is soul made visible. - Sarah Ban Breathnach // This boho styled engagement shoot was full of craft beer, big views, and a healthy dose of man bun. Sofia + Jeremy are two of the most authentic people I can imagine and this shoot was perfectly them.
