I met Ashton when she was just a freshmen at Urbana University. I was the leader of Knights for Christ, and we bonded immediately. I have always felt like she was not only a dear friend, but more like a little sister.  We prayed for years that she would meet a good Chr...

It was such a beautiful fall day for a wedding at the Vintage Venue in Urbana.  Carrie (my second shooter for the day) and I had never been there before and were blown away by how adorable the farm/barn wedding set up was!!! We got there a little early, and quickly sta...

Having been best friends and roommates with Adam's sister Megan, I was blessed to get to watch Adam grow up from a rockstar football player to a coach, but I didn't know Ali until just a few months before the wedding. I met her at one of the football games for just a f...

Jacob and I graduated from Urbana University together, but I didn't know Bobbi until just a few months before the wedding. He had shared with me previously that Bobbi and I would be fast friends have so much in common. He was one hundred percent correct--I loved Bobbi...

I was so blessed to be able to watch Brooke grow up from middle school since she was one of our youth kids.  She grew into such a beautiful young lady that I am so proud to know.  Derek swept her completely off of her feet, and it wasn't long until she was sharing that...

I love to tell the story of how I became friends with the former Hill sisters.  I worked with Justin at UU 5 years ago, and almost 2 years ago, his wife Emily made a post about having just gone through a miscarriage. Even though I didn't know her, something she said sp...

I had the heartwarming experience of getting to meet and know Beth and Robb at their engagement pictures a few months ago, and I couldn't wait to photograph their wedding. It was so easy to see their love and connection to each other within moments of meeting them.

I met Chris and Kacie at our little country church, and immediately loved them. Chris is the oldest son of one of my dear friends, and Kacie is pretty much the most adorable thing ever.  These high school sweethearts exemplified an endearing love that I knew was the re...
