Christof + Kendra

Christof, affectionately known as Chumps, has been my brother since I was in third grade. His fiancee, Kendra, is someone I wish I had known since the third grade. I was looking forward to their engagement session with great anticipation, but I had no idea how much joy it would bring to see them open up in front of my lens in a way they don't do at home. They are truly gorgeous together in every way.

Beatty Family

Katy and Tiffany: Sister Shoot

I was so excited when Tiffany asked me to do this shoot. Katy let me have the reign of her closet and I styled them. (Meaning I picked out their outfits and accessories and helped with hair and makeup. Fancy, I know.) During the shoot I loved seeing their different yet similar reactions to the things I said and what I asked them to do. Fun facts: Katy and I went to high school together and have twinner birthdays and Tiffany is the same age as my little sister. Katy and Tiff, you are both gorgeous and I love you!

Schroeder Family.

I adore this family! I was so excited when Emily asked me to do a shoot with them before the youngest sister left on her mission. In this first shot they are all proudly displaying their mission flags. Fun idea huh? The Schroeder fam is so much fun; they all have such a great sense of humor and they love each other like crazy.
