Camryn & Caleb didn’t want a big, traditional wedding.

They wanted something small.
Intentional.
Relaxed.
A day where they could be fully present with each other and the people they love most.

And that’s exactly what they created.

About 50 of their favorite people gathered along Slippery Rock Creek at The Lodge at Water’s Edge for the sweetest September wedding. There were handwritten notes, beautiful details, a few raindrops at the end of the ceremony, sunshine for portraits, dinner under the string lights - and a dance floor that proved a small guest list does NOT mean a small party.

Everything about their day felt warm, personal, and completely THEM.

Camryn & Caleb: what an absolute joy it was to be a part of capturing your celebration for you!

Two years ago today, I captured my first wedding as a Wedding Content Creator.

After being a wedding photographer since 2009 (and carrying the pressure of getting THE SHOT for 15 years), it was like a breath of creative fresh air.

Don't get me wrong: I still LOVE photography (I always will), but sometimes, you just need to change things up, ya know?
And Wedding Content Creation has been the PERFET way to mix things up - and I LOVE it.

I'm utterly obsessed and SO thankful to the couples that have trusted me to capture the raw, unfiltered, behind-the-scenes moments of their wedding day - all with my own special twist of creativity. It's SO much fun & I love it so much.

Cheers to many more years to come!

In honor of our first day of homeschool co-op today -
yes, we did take our annual back-to-school photos
(definitely missing our sweet Abby-dog who always sat right in between the kids for so many years when we took these photos)

The bride who wants to be fully in the moment, not worrying about whether someone got it on video.

Who wants to laugh with her friends, soak in the hugs, and actually enjoy the day she's spent so much time planning.

Who knows she can be present *and* have the memories to look back on.

That's who I'm here for.

Wedding content creation isn't about making your wedding look perfect.

It's about preserving the moments that mattered so you can relive how they felt - long after the day is over.

ANNOUNCING: 2026 Fall Family Mini-Sessions in Irwin, PA!

It’s that time of year again: the days are getting shorter, temps are (finally) cooling down, everywhere you look you're beginning to see pumpkins..

And that means it's time for my annual fall mini session day!
These sessions are the perfect time to snag some updated photos of you and your spouse, maybe you’ve added a fur-baby or a (real) baby to your family since the last time we saw each other, or maybe you simply need some updated photos for your Christmas cards and to give as gifts – this is the PERFECT time to do that!

(And if I were you, I'd hurry! Whenever I announce these sessions, they tend to fill up FAST!)

I know everyone says this: but summer has flown by in a blur - and August has flown by even faster than that (what's faster than a blur: a blink? a whiz? a flash? a rocket?)

Our August was filled with trips to Kennywood (as usual), VBS week at church, the Norwin Community Picnic (which was rudely interrupted by a CRAZY rain storm this year), and the start of school. AND, to top it all off, as the icing and cherry on top, we took our "big" yearly vacation in August (the videos from which I haven't even started to edit yet - the first week of September has been a beast, but we'll talk about that next month).

OH and if you look closely - you'll catch a peek into what Leander will be for Halloween this year at the end of the video (I found the costume at a kids' consignment sale and let's just say: I'm not sure who was happier - Leander or Derrick!) Halloween still feels so far off though and I'm determined to enjoy and soak in SEPTEMBER, before we roll into October!

UPDATE:
I am currently 24+ hours without power thanks to yesterday’s insane storms.

So, of course I posted the gallery update just a few hours before it all hit & I’ve been getting tons of messages, emails, and DMs about it (it’s so exciting to hear from all of you!!) but I have EXTREMELY limited capacity to respond to anything at the moment.

I’m not ignoring you, I promise!! I just have no power, no internet, and no way to get back to you all until those are restored.

Speaking of which: our current estimate of power restoration is Sunday at 11pm (serious- no joke!)

All that to say: hold tight!! I will get back to you as soon as I can (but in all likelihood, it’ll probably be Monday morning 🤦🏻‍♀️)
