It happens at almost every single wedding I shoot. Sometimes you can tell right away, sometimes you don’t know until the dance floor, but inevitably they appear. The Show Stealers. The flower girl, ring bearer, the cute little kid in the miniature tux…the one that is just so cute you can’t help but love them. […]

-Tiffany-Joe-Fall-Wedding-Love-Happiness all around- I can’t remember not knowing Tiffany. Our families have been friends for years and I’m so blessed that that’s true.

From the moment I […]

It’s hard to humble our-self and ask for help or  […]

Bri and Erika are two incredibly beautiful, talented, encouraging, fun and funny girls!

You can’t help but be excited and […]

I, Evangeline Renee  {lover of warm weather}  just took a trip to Minnesota. I know this may be surprising  I was surprised myself but friendship makes you do strange, unusual, and crazy things.
