Hinkle Wedding
A few weekend’s ago we had the pleasure of capturing my dear friend Andrea’s wedding. My goal with a wedding is to capture photos and moments that will allow the bride to relive her wedding day! When I look back over these photos, I can feel the joy that this
An Ode to Mamaw Troxler
Last week my Mamaw Troxler passed away at 89 years old. I wanted to write a few thoughts down that I learned from her death. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. He was so gracious in showing us this. There is a peace
Andrea’s Bridal Portraits
Hmm where do I start? I have known Andrea forever. Literally. We both grew up in Browns Summit and all of my best little kid memories have Andrea in them. Snow sledding on her parents farm. Learning how to put on (too much) eyeliner at our beloved church camp, Bonclarken.

Patterson Family
You know when you meet someone and you just automatically really like them? That’s the way I felt when I first met Rachel while working at VF. She is the kindest, gentlest, and most caring person. The love of God is so evident in the way she lives her life.
Hughes Family
A few weekends ago I took family portraits of the Hughes family. I have a special love for all boy families. Maybe it’s because James is the oldest of 3 boys, I don’t know exactly, but something about a herd of boys makes me grin! These little guys were so
Katalyst Security Summit
This past week I had the pleasure of capturing the Katalyst Security Summit at the Sanctuary Resort on Kiawah Island. Everything about the week was wonderful. The food, scenery, people, and the speakers were phenomenal! One of my favorite parts of the Security Summit was getting to hear Frank W.
