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…

Polynesian Cultural Center, Hawaii (2016)—the night the drums shook the air, the crowd went quiet, and this performer absolutely owned the stage. There’s something about a luau that hits you right in the chest: the color, the rhythm, the storytelling woven into every movement. She was radiant, genuinely—like she wasn’t just performing, she was inviting…

Fire pit on Anchor Inn on the Bay’s private beach in Traverse City (2016)—the kind of spot that feels like it’s seen a thousand summer nights and still has room for a thousand more. There’s something about a weathered fire pit on the sand that instantly drops you into nostalgia mode. Late nights, lake breeze,…

Kansas City, Line Creek Trail (2022)—the day Rose looked majestic and feral and ready for adventure…and I looked like I was five minutes from joining the spirit realm. She thrived. I almost overheated and died. But look at her. Ears at full satellite-dish power. Tongue out. Living her best National Geographic life while I was…

Tower of London (2019)—proof that even the darkest corners know how to put on a light show. I’m obsessed with how this photo turned out: the cool blues pouring through the window, the warm golds clinging to the stone, that little pocket of green glowing like it’s keeping a centuries-old secret. It’s like the whole…

Jessie and Ryan (2018) — celebrating six years the only way that makes sense for them: by turning a movie theater into a popcorn snow globe. This little anniversary shoot was pure chaos in the best way. Popcorn everywhere, bad jokes, zero coordination, maximum joy. Honestly, this is the kind of energy every long-term relationship…

Village Park, Empire, Michigan — where the water looks like it forgot it’s a lake and decided to cosplay the Caribbean instead. I love the mix of textures here: the wild dune grass, the weathered fence, the bright turquoise stretching out like it has no business being in the Midwest. It’s one of those places…

Palace of Versailles (2019) — where the halls were shoulder-to-shoulder, everyone had a selfie stick, and my patience was hanging by a thread dipped in gold leaf. So I did the only sane thing: I looked up. And somehow captured the one moment, in the entire palace, where another human being wasn’t in the frame.…

This was taken at a Sunflower Festival 2022 at KC Pumpkin Patch in Kansas City, Kansas. The air smelled like BBQ, the sunflowers were thriving, and I briefly believed I had been chosen by the photography gods when someone dropped a camera filter. I found it and celebrated. And then…immediately lost it. This skeleton perfectly…
