Why you should love your photographer...

On your wedding day you will be spending about 85-90% of your entire day with your photographer by your side. They will be guiding you through every step of the day! You want someone there you trust, who is organized, and who you can have fun with!

When you love your photographer and get along with them really well you can let your guard down around them. You can crack silly jokes and laugh and have fun! In doing so, you end up with not only amazing and genuine photos, but you'll have an even better experience!

When you've taken the time to get to know the person photographing you, they will know and understand your specific needs and wants. They will know the best way to capture you and bring out your best smiles, laughs, and natural emotions. Plus who doesn't love making new friends?!

Paige: Prom Dress and Cherry Blossoms at Salem Capitol Park

January 22, 2021

I’m not sure if you’ve seen my previous blog post, but this was another amazing prom dress mini session! The cherry blossoms at Salem Capitol Park were in high bloom. Paige looked stunning in her deep red lace gown! In all the craziness of 2020 and all that it took away, my heart went out to our high school seniors. When I learned their prom was cancelled I wanted to do what I could to help. So I ran an ad to offer free mini sessions to anyone that already had their prom attire purchased. I wanted to gift them the memories of this time in their lives even if they couldn’t enjoy the event itself.

Paige was so sweet! Her mom reached out to me when she saw my ad. She couldn’t believe that she could get professional photos of her daughter in her prom dress for free. I had so much fun with Paige during her session! The weather was perfect. The setting couldn’t have been more beautiful. Salem Capitol Park was the BEST location for this! The tears that Paige and her mother had in their eyes by the end of it was the most incredible and rewarding feeling ever!

Its moments like these that I am reminded of why I do what I do. This is also why I LOVE what I do. My business is not just to provide amazing images to my clients. I fully believe it’s a ministry in which lives are touched and changed, often my own. The relationships built and the smiles and joy it brings make everything so worth it!
