Mercy and Justin got married on a beautiful November day at Heartwood Acres. The crazy part? Mercy hired me TEN days before her wedding! Her original photographer had a family emergency and I was so glad that I was able to fill in. I loved working with these two!

If you want to make the leap from photographer to wedding photographer, you need to have solid systems and softwares in place! Here are links to my trusted softwares & systems that my business can’t operate without!

We got the kids a puppy for Christmas!! That’s what we say anyway, but really, we got her for us too 😉

Dolly (after Dolly Parton!) is a black labradoodle, so she is equal parts sweet, playful, clumsy and smart. We’re all smitten with her! So thankful to have her as part of the family.
