The future.. that one thing that is completely unknown to everyone. The one thing that scares everyone. The one uncertainty that not one person doesn’t face. I use to put so much pressure on my future, when my relationship fell through it crippled me. I didn’t know what my future looked like anymore. I had no idea what I was going to do next. I was supposed to get married, move into a house. You know the normal things after marriage. So when the relationship ended I didn’t see a future anymore. But why? I mean the future still existed. It was still there. Every second I was breathing was a second into the future I didn’t know about. So why could I not fathom my future alone? I was terrified. Terrified of trusting people, letting anyone in, fearful I’d get hurt again. The other night I had an epiphany that I can only live for right now. I can not control my future, so why do I keep trying to? I need to live for the now. I need to not put so much pressure on the relationships that I get into. I need to just enjoy the life that I am living. Living for today. My future will come. Eventually I’ll get married and start a family. But for now I need to enjoy being in my 20s and spending time with this new guy.

I knew from the moment our engagement session started in February that Joe & Sam’s wedding was going to be a tear-filled day — not just their eyes, but mine too. I’m a total softie when it comes to love. It’s what drew me into this industry in the first place. And these two? They […]
There’s just something about spring that brings stories to life. The sun feels warmer, the flowers show off, and love seems to radiate through every soft breeze and golden hour glow. I recently had the honor of photographing two incredible couples—Cyrus & Chloe and Grace & Anthony—on back-to-back spring days, and it felt like living inside two fairytales. Their sessions were filled with blooms, romance, and nods to their personal love stories. So I’m bundling both into one dreamy post.
Let’s get entirely too excited together, shall we? 💐✨
Winter engagement sessions always have a special kind of magic—snowy landscapes, intimate moments, and cozy vibes that make everything feel like a winter wonderland. I had the pleasure of capturing two amazing couples this season, and the result was nothing short of breathtaking. Katie & Hunter: Snow, Stairs, and Sweet Moments We kicked off Katie […]
When you imagine a wedding, you might picture bright daylight, sparkling windows, and an airy ambiance. But what if I told you that a wedding could be just as magical in the intimate glow of a darker setting? Welcome to the unforgettable celebration of this couple’s love at The Corinthian in Sharon, Pennsylvania.
Gina & Cody’s wedding at Yankee Lake Ballroom was full of love, laughter, and joyful tears. See their emotional first look and dreamy portraits at Buhl Park!
Earlier in the day, both Jake and Veronique were getting ready in separate rooms. Although they were apart, you could sense the nervous excitement from both of them. Each one was eagerly anticipating the moment they would meet at the altar. As a result, the energy in both rooms was a beautiful mix of butterflies and joy. Because of this, the day felt even more special and full of love.
Capturing heartfelt, magical moments that sparkle with love and stay with you forever.
