It's December again, which means a lot of different things. The days are getting colder and sunsets are coming earlier, but our Christmas tree is up so our apartment feels cozy and festive. For those of you who are students, these next few weeks mean projects and final...

This year I got to take senior pictures for my cousin Daniel. It made me feel a little old because I can still solidly remember the day he was born, and now he's getting ready to graduate from high school!

After rescheduling twice, we finally had a gorgeous night for Da...

This one is definitely the most unique session I've ever done. My sister-in-law Hope is a senior this year, and her family lives out on a farm with all kinds of animals. In addition to three dogs and lots of barn cats, she also has horses, goats, chickens, and a rabbit...
