This joy is so real. These laughs and flirty little looks and split seconds of intimate silence are authentic. This couple is so special simply because they’re so willing to embrace this time in their lives and allow these photos to tell that story, the real story. I fell in love with Jason and Amie right off the bat, partially because they’re just as willing to love their photographer as they are their photography. Check it out.

We just escaped for this sunset with Shannon and Mitchell. But instead of running far, we were basically right in town. Downtown Rogers, Arkansas has so much texture and so many neat corners but this sunset, and this evening was special because of the beautiful couple in front of it all. This engagement session was one of my favorite in a long time.

An incredible afternoon on a calm Connecticut beach with Lizzie & John last week. The sunset was amazing, the low tide gave us endless sand, and the Fujifilm GFX100 was just the icing on the cake. I can’t wait for next year with these two at an incredible wedding.

The whole dang story. Mason’s proposal to Hayden was a dream, a total whirlwind of emotion and beautiful photography all tied up into one incredible afternoon at Sassafras Springs Winery.

Sunrise engagement photography with candy colored skies beside still lakes and beautiful Arkansas waterfalls. Ashley & Nate made this a little too easy and yet, I just can’t wait to hang out with them again because of it. This session was something so unique and simple and beautiful.

It was all laughter and smiles and a lot of cold beer. It was Pratt Place Inn at it’s best. It was Tanarah Lux and Steiner Event Group, and a killer band, and a great day but most of all - it was the most in love couple bubbling over with excitement that the big day was finally here.

The most beautiful way to start off a week. Two of the sweetest people I’ve ever worked with saying their vows with just myself and a pastor to hear at Thorncrown Chapel and then off to a sunset hike that ended at this amazing bridge out in the middle of nowhere for a champagne toast and first dance. This wasn’t just an elopement, it was a full wedding with only two people and I’m still smiling.

Time absolutely stops when you’re out at Willow Brooke Farm. Ironic considering how long it takes to get there, but there is nothing but fresh air and space to breathe it in. This wedding was exactly what I needed to push ahead into our late summer schedule. A beautiful Arkansas bride, an awesome southern groom, a moody rainy wedding day, and authentic, real photography of it all.

Things got a little steamy at sunrise you guys. But with two people like Alix Ann and John and so much joy and flirty energy all wrapped up with 70 degrees and a beautiful morning breeze things were bound to be perfect. This session gave me all the feels.

It takes a special baby to smile four times for a camera before they’re even two weeks old. Meet baby Holland. She’s kind of new to the world, but her parents are a few of my favorite people around so I jumped on the opportunity to put on my mask, head over to their house in Bentonville, and spend a little time watching her and her big brother snuggle.
