Sea Life Aquarium in Kansas City, Missouri 2022—where the tanks were glowing, the jellyfish were vibing, and I…was basically this duck. Bright on the outside, blue on the inside, plopped on a metaphorical plank because Dave decided to blow me off that day. Nothing like ocean ambience and a rubber duck to really highlight the…

Clifford’s Tower, York, England — one of those places that looks like it’s been waiting centuries for you to show up and take in the view. There’s something so striking about it perched on that perfect green hill, like a fortress, a landmark, and a piece of lived history all at once. York really knows…

Puerto Rico (2020)— the unexpected stop on our cruise that came with a view nobody plans for but everyone remembers. We pulled in and saw this waterfront scene: boats tossed around like toys, buildings worn from storms and time, a kind of beautiful chaos that tells its own story. It wasn’t the postcard moment, but…

Jessie at our Roaring 20s fundraiser for the Eaton Theatre — fully committed to the vintage glam, the pearls, the fringe, the whole Gatsby fantasy.

Even the graffiti felt poetic, like someone else stood…

Cliffs of Dover (2019)—the kind of place that makes you rethink every dramatic moment you’ve ever had, because nothing competes with this level of dramatic scenery. The wind was wild, the drop was terrifying, and the view felt endless. There’s something grounding about standing somewhere so iconic and realizing, “Oh…this is why poets lose their…

Jessie & Ryan’s engagement photos at Frederick Meijer Garden (2020)—and honestly, this might be one of my favorite concepts we’ve ever pulled off together. They laid down, intertwined, and immediately started goofing around, turning their hands into a little frame like they were directing their own movie. It’s playful, it’s creative, and it feels exactly…

Luke & Lori’s 1-year wedding anniversary photos at Curwood Castle (2020)— featuring the world’s happiest Aussie absolutely convinced this shoot is about him. Honestly, he wasn’t wrong.He posed. He smiled. He sat perfectly between them like the living embodiment of “we are a package deal.” The leaves were falling, the castle looked dreamy, and their…
