"1. My gentle, kind, and princess-loving daughter, Annabelle (9 years).
2. Grady (8 years) is my big feeling, bug-obsessed, downright hilarious boy.
3. Lastly, our sweet, snuggle loving, goofy toddler, Louis (5 years)

We never got to hear the heartbeat of our first baby that we lost in 2015. Jesus taught me a lot about grief through that season."

"We got married in college and lived in an apartment in Kirksville, MO our senior year. We lived in an amazing four family in Shaw and a cute two-converted-single family home in the McKinley Heights neighborhood. Found a dream home in Oakville, but we missed city living so we boomeranged back to South City in 2023 and absolutely love being back."

"I've only been to 2 countries before - The United States and Cambodia. We are not super cool world travelers, but we started tent camping 3 years ago and haven't looked back since. Our camping motto is "it takes a lot of work to have a lot of fun". We absolutely love the adventure and connection traveling outdoors has brought to our family!"

"I never would have dreamed that I would be a photographer someday, but I'm so thankful this is my job. It brings me so much joy to capture families like yours in every season of life. I love being invited into special spaces that I wouldn't otherwise get the opportunity to be - like births & weddings. I always pray before my sessions that I would lovingly serve my clients and be a light in their lives."

"I'm not naturally a morning person, but over the years, I've slowly began to see how much better my (and my family's) days go when I wake up early. I try to get up around 5:00am, read my bible, pray, work out, & get myself ready before the kids wake up. By no means do I do this perfectly, but this habit and discipline has bore so much fruit!"
