If you have pets as part of your family, bring them to your photo shoot! It’s a great way to bring out some real smiles and lots of joy. Joy is our favorite thing to witness during a shoot, other than love!








Boy, was I tickled to be at this surprise photo shoot! She wanted to surprise her husband of 40+ years by wearing her wedding dress again. I don’t know too many people who can still fit in their dresses that many years later. It was an emotional surprise for them both, and we were pleased to capture those moments.







One way to enhance your photography skills, as mentioned in an earlier blog, is to look at things a little differently. That can mean focusing on an object in the foreground, or even zooming in closer on smaller objects. There’s so much beauty in nature. It’s often overlooked in favor of a personal subject. Take the time to look a little closer.








Here’s some more of Samantha’s travel photography. This post includes scenes from GA, TN, VA, MO, IL, WI, CO, and UT. There are so many beautiful things to see in this country of ours. And while we may be a young country, there’s still plenty of history. Check out Nation Park properties – they won’t disappoint!









This couple didn’t let a constant rain dampen their day! While adjustments had to be made, this bride and groom didn’t mind the rain. We even wandered around to get photos in the rain. They got married on their own property, and live next to a nature preserve, so there were beautiful locations all around.








We love when we have repeat clients. We also love when we have repeat locations. This family enjoyed taking in the sights around Queeny Park as we photographed. What’s great about this park is that there are so many different areas to shoot. We could photograph this family for years to come in the same park with different backgrounds.
