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.
BREAK A LEG. Facing challenges with a team
Yep. It's broken - and the truth is - that was my good leg. Fortunately, I'm barely slowing down right now. We've got a crew around me, and an amazing family supporting me and crutches or no crutches we're all determined to have a blast for the rest of the summer.
WEDDING STORY . Meaghan + Nick
LET NOTHING HOLD BACK THE DESIRES OF YOUR HEART.
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.
Fayetteville Wedding Story Katelyn + Zach
Young love and amazing friends made this Fayetteville wedding day special. It was a perfect spring day to say "I do" and these are a few of my very favorite moments. // If I had a single flower for every time I think of you, I could walk forever in my garden. Claudia Adrienne Grandi
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
This whole wedding gave me chills. Of course it was freezing - but the story behind it is absolutely powerful. No quotes needed, just 100 images, 48 hours after Amanda + Brad said "I do" and some of the most powerful moments I've ever shot.
Dallas Wedding Production. Cami + Sam
FULL PHOTO + VIDEO RELEASE! Cami + Sam's story is SO special to me and I am so happy to finally be able to share it! Check out this incredible release of their full wedding video along with 80 of my favorite moments from this incredible day! // “If it weren’t for her, there would never have been an empty space, or the need to fill it.” —Nicole Krause, The History of Love
Family Time. Behind the camera.
"Think of your family today and every day thereafter, don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your family." - Josiah // A pretty rare glimpse on the other side of the camera on a Sunday at our house.
ADVENTURES IN MEXICO . Yanina + Justin
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. I'm always floored by the opportunity to hang out on an island and call it work, but when I get to do it with Melissa it's even better. SO grateful for these two and their incredible families.
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.
