Elizabeth & Troy Wedding

From the window I could see the changing leaves falling to the ground. There was one tree, just outside the house, with vibrant red and orange leaves that seemed to frame the farmhouse on the hill. I could hear her bridesmaids in the other room laughing with Elizabeth, who could not have...

How to use the free preset

Confession: I love getting emails about the Light & Airy preset because you all love it just as much as I do. I really needed to keep our editing consistent and also be able to hand my presets over to our team editor and get the same results. I created a whole suite and then I started wondering. What if I shared this preset, which is changing my whole business, with the whole world? 

I knew this preset would change businesses, but I had no idea how far it would...

Walking through miscarriage

We missed our turn and pulled into the first driveway we could find. Farm. Those were the first words I saw on the sign. I could see the peonies just ahead on the right. I could see the tomatoes growing and a green house in the distance. There was a little shop just ahead with fruits and veggies for sale.

I kept driving, intrigued by this place. It seemed like a home away from home. Quiet. Undiscovered...

Alexia and Brett Anniversary

They sat on the old, fallen log and kissed each other. They were in the middle of Forest Park and it still felt like they were all alone under the changing sky. She kissed his cheek and he kissed her hands while laughing, bumping heads, and hugging in the in-between.

The first thing I noticed about Ali and Brett at their engagement session was how madly in...

The Haseltine Estate, in Springfield Missouri

Have you been dreaming of stone estates tucked away in southern Missouri or am I the only one? As we drove down the highway, we found ivy cascading over a stone wall. And then, as if on que, a hill let us peek over the wall to see the a glimpse. Everything about this venue makes me feel like I have...

5 times to use your reflector

It was Kristina's wedding day and she wanted to take bridal photos under the age-old tree where they would soon tie the knot. It was the middle of the day and there were bright spots on the ground from where the sun found its way through the tall tree. Kristina completely trusted me and I knew she would be willing to switch up the location if we needed, but I wanted to make the spot work for her! Plus, it was beautiful.

I knew there were 2 big issues happening with the combination of the location and time of day. First, the bright spots...

Kuhs Estate & Farm Engagement in St Louis - Katie and AJ

We walked over the green grass, laughing, and sharing about our mutual love for dogs. The light trickled in, hitting the tops of yellowing trees and rock paths. They shared different parts of their story - how they met and how they ended up with each dog - before walking down the stone steps at Kuhs.

And there - at the bottom of the rock garden, in the center...
