Camden and Grace started dating in early high school. They essentially grew up together.. supporting each other through good times and bad, falling more in love every time they matured to another level or walked through another life change. Their love story is endearing and sweet. Grace had always wanted professional portraits of the two of them. Camden hired me […]
John reached out to me weeks ahead of his proposal to JNae. His plan was to propose to her on a hot air balloon ride and wanted the morning captured in photos.

She loved us, stepped in to help and became part of the family. Curt gives everyone nicknames so she promptly became “Sarai Stilmot.” Sarah is […]
My Hood to Coast teammate Larisa is a gem. She is WICKED fast, intense, funny, feisty, smart, beautiful and successful. We don’t live close to each other nor do we work similar schedules so unfortunately our face to face interactions are few and far between.
