It’s been way too many weeks since I have shot an engagement session during my little summer break and this was the perfect way to start again!! Kristyn and Dustin are a couple I knew of from many people but had not yet met. But I was immediately in love with them. Easy going, super friendly and warm, and so very sweet together, they made my job so easy and fun! Kristyn has an effortless beauty about her, and Dustin looks at her like he has loved her every single day of her life (they have known each other for a very long time!). They are just so sweet together. We traveled around their family’s property near and just had a great time chatting about life and their relationship and families. It all made me so excited for their March wedding because I just know it’s going to be such a beautiful day filled with such kind people. I am in awe all the time of how I get just the very best couples, and these two personified that for me! Just wait until you see them! Meet Kristyn and Dustin 🙂
Love this gorgeous sunflower field — we caught it just in time before it was done for the season! Kristyn and Dustin, I adored meeting you guys and can’t WAIT for your wedding! Full gallery coming soon!!
Kristyn got her hair done by Abby Holthaus Hair and her makeup done by Bryn at The Gallery, and both looked absolutely amazing!!!

As a past high school teacher, I have a major heart for education. After going full time in my business, I have built a business I love that gives me an almost 6 figure salary and allows me to be home part time with my kids. I dream for you to run a business that enhances your life and lights you up, and I believe I can help you learn how to do it with a little hustle and a lot of heart!

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! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
Beautiful photos! So happy for you two!
Thank you! 🙂
