Over the years I have come to find that the more comfortable a couple is with you as a person, the more comfortable they will be in front of the camera. This is why I love to grab a coffee or a beer with couples when they are considering booking Lara and I for their […]

Did you WOW when you saw how stunning Anne and Guy in these photos? I thought the same thing when they pulled up for their session and got out of their car!

This session is quite possibly my favorite session of all time! Here are 2 reasons why. 1.) Alyssa and Jacob are seriously the most perfect couple ever!

I am aiming for colorful and rich tones and bright lighting!

Many people don’t realize this, but your engagement session is the best representation of how your photographer experience will go on your wedding day. This is why taking engagement photos of couples whose wedding I am photographing is super important to Lara and I. We are able to get comfortable around one another during this initial shoot and work through some of the jitters that come with being in front of a camera.
