One of my favorite parts of spring is the emergence of beautiful flowers. Here’s a digital bouquet from across the country. Make sure you get outside this week and take time to stop and smell the roses!
April showers bring May flowers!

Rehearsal moments
We like to show up to wedding rehearsals. It’s a great way for us to learn the layout of the venue, and get some great candid shots. Not every couple chooses to have us there for the rehearsal, but we love it! Let us get all those special little moments and details that often go unnoticed.
Bit of art, bit of life
Here are more highlights from Samantha’s travels around our country. She likes shooting something that is cool to start with, but then has a hint of life to it. In these, you’ll notice some interesting architecture, pretty vistas, and at least a peek of people.
Hoppy Easter!
Ask most kids what their favorite thing is about Easter, and I doubt you’ll hear suggestions of nice clothes and church services. Today, kids love the egg hunt! At our house, it’s a tradition to make tie-dye eggs (which we’ll eat later – yea for sustainability!) using science. Give it a try! Make a paste by mixing baking soda, water, and food coloring. Glob the paste on your eggs. Then, slowly pour vinegar over the eggs. Voila!
Views from Mexico
We saw Samantha’s photos from New Mexico, now for a trip south of the border. She enjoyed seeing the sights of Chichén Itzá, DÃa de Muertos decorations, and even the beautiful surroundings as she flew away.
Views from New Mexico
Samantha has traveled to New Mexico several times during the last several years. Her in-laws lived at the edge of a canyon overlooking the Rio Grande with national forest on the other side. The views are stunning, even in mountainous deserts aren’t your thing.
McKinney Falls winter beauty
Samantha’s travels recently brought her to the Austin, TX area. While there, she was able to explore McKinney Falls State Park. She found beautiful old trees covered in ball moss, an ancient rock shelter, and water features running low during the winter.
*Your product here*
We’ve also done work where we photograph products for clients. That means we also like to practice product photography on our travels. Here are some of Samantha’s photos of *things.* Some were for businesses, and some were to practice to craft.
Dreaming of the water
It’s that time of year when we all wish it was a little warmer. Even better, we wish we were at the water! Here are some more of Samantha’s travel shots with water features from Michigan to Mexico and places in between!
Thank you, veterans!
Our work ranges far beyond family portraits and weddings. We’ve had opportunities to shoot war reenactments, homecomings of those in service, and promotion ceremonies for those in the military. “Thank you” seems inadequate to convey the appreciation we have for all those who have served. We both come from families with long histories of military service. To those who served, no matter the capacity, thank you. To those who are still serving our country, thank you. To be willing to lay down your life for the country you love is humbling.
We’d love to work with you if you have a loved one coming home from a deployment, or getting a promotion!
Here are some shots from a Civil War reenactment Samantha was able to shoot while working for a magazine in Franklin, TN.
