welcome

I’ve known Cassie for 10 years. Wow. It’s weird that I can be old enough to say that. We played soccer together in college and I bet we are both still exactly as good as we were 10 years ago. Kidding.

She and Brian moved to Colorado a few years ago and it’s been so fun to reconnect a little bit. And after having the unbelievably unique privilege of attending her birth, I guess I could say we reconnected a lot. And I loved it!

mommy and daddy
prayed and waited and prayed more
for you, dear brecken.

you were the answer.
this day, a celebration
of hopes fulfilled.

so, happy birthday
sweet brecken nathaniel call.
we’re so glad you’re here.

one last fun morning
full of giggles, tears, and games
a familiar scene

a final goodbye
but still not the exact words
to love like we mean

Buckle in, folks. This is going to be a long one!

I don’t shoot many weddings. Hardly any actually. And I especially don’t photograph them by myself. There are very few exceptions to my “no weddings alone” rule. The lone exception is if I really, really like you. And there were quite a few people I really, really liked this year who asked me to photograph their weddings.

a “family” shoot
for “just” carving some pumpkins
took a wild turn

when mom shared big news
that this family of four
is now one of five.

you don’t have a fork,
but you hate messy fingers,
turning one is hard.

you’re a wild one,
hudson. and we wish you the
happiest birthday.
