I’ve been doing photos for Andrews brother Eric and his wife Katelin for years, which is what brought Andrew and Mackenzie my way. We had such a great time […]

A while ago, I was scrolling through Instagram and came across a post from a fellow photographer that I found super helpful for future brides!

Honestly, I almost deleted this blog post so many times…hence why it’s only now going live…I didn’t want it to come off as me bragging so I contemplated deleting it. I didn’t know if anyone would even care enough to read a summary of my year so I contemplated deleting it. The longer it sat […]
