Shannon, Eric, and Archer (and Shannon’s wonderful mom!) met me last week for their engagement session when nature was just beginning to show fall- but it was unfairly warm!! I was so excited to meet with them and their adorable puppy and for good reason! They had some fun plans for their wedding date (see their jerseys!!) and we were meeting at a location I love! I had so much fun running around the forest with them, and they are quite easy to photograph as you will see! And friends? Archer, their pup, literally gives hugs! It is absolutely adorable!! These two are getting married next July and I could not be more excited for their wedding!
Eric and Shannon have such an easy sort of love together. Like they have known each other forever, been together forever. There is no fuss, no drama, just sweetness between them. Their personalities match very well- neither is particularly outgoing or particularly shy, they are just fun sweet and easy to love people! They love sports and have a social calendar of game attendance I am QUITE jealous of! I am so excited to share some of my favorites with you! Meet Shannon and Eric:
Oh yes, and Archer!!! 🙂 Is he not the cutest?!
Regardless of the heat, it was SUCH a beautiful night with gorgeous light.
This is one of my favorites for sure- Shannon, you are so gorgeous!
This is straight out of my camera at the end of the night- we could not have painted a better sky! You guys, I am SO excited for your wedding next summer! Can’t wait to keep planning with you- hope you love these!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!
