Kody & Abigail sneak peek
8/15/2026

I had the pleasure of taking Abby’s senior pictures, her and Kody’s engagement pictures and now their wedding. When I say these two are literally meant for one another, that’s no joke. They are exactly the definition of true love. Seeing these two laugh together, constantly will make anyone smile.

These two families, joined together by their children, I have known for decades! Both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom were classmates of mine. Why we didn’t take even one picture of the 3 of us is beyond me!

People see a $450 photoshoot and think photographers are taking home $450 in profit… and I promise that’s not reality 🥹

What most people don’t see is everything that goes on behind the scenes of running a photography business.

A session payment doesn’t just go into my pocket. It goes toward:
✨ taxes
✨ gallery delivery + website fees
✨ editing software subscriptions
✨ SD cards + hard drives
✨ camera bodies + lenses
✨ props + setups
✨ gas/travel
✨ insurance
✨ advertising
✨ continuing education
✨ equipment maintenance/upgrades

And then there’s the biggest thing of all … time.

The actual session is only a tiny portion of the job. There’s hours spent planning, communicating, culling galleries, hand editing images, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, answering messages/emails, ordering props, cleaning the studio, and so much more that nobody really sees.

Photography is so much more than “just taking pictures.” It’s a full business, a creative service, and honestly a huge labor of love. 🤍

I completely understand that professional photography isn’t in everyone’s budget, and that’s okay! But I’ll always be thankful for the clients who value the work, time, and heart that goes into creating these memories. 🫶

Menger Family Sneak peek

I met this family, who was looking for a photographer to take their pics over the holiday weekend. I am always excited to meet new families and am so thankful they trust me!
What adorable kids - I had so much fun “trying” to win over the little girl. ❤️
