Let’s chat about photo editing. This is a deep-dive topic in whole, but today we’re going to start simple and discuss one of the most basic photo edits: Black and White. I’m often asked why I select certain images to process in black and white. While there are no hard and fast rules, every photographer […]

Megan REALLY wanted an autumn engagement shoot. When we got the sudden burst of winter (which is known to happen in the midwest), we switched gears a tad. Who would have thought that we would get the beautiful autumn leaves that were still clinging on for dear life, along with the crisp, bright snow? While […]

I’ll start off with the fact that I just love Sammy and Chad. Not only are they sweet, hilarious, hard-working individuals, but together they are genuinely these qualities x10.

Even more special is when one-half of the couple is one of your […]
