What I love most about being a photographer is capturing authentic emotion and sharing it. I'll be the first to admit that I cry at almost every wedding I photograph or attend. I can't help it! What makes some sessions really special is when I have a history with the people I'm working with. Vanessa and I went to High School together lost touch during college. Luckily for us, FaceBook came along!

After we reconnected, she asked me to do her and Ben's engagement photos! What a treat!  What Vanessa had in mind was a "Wine Country" theme! How inspiring! I immediately called up my best friend and favorite photo stylist, Tiffany Sowell.  We met over coffee and salted caramel ice cream and shared with Vanessa the inspiration board for her session. The inspiration board led to a beautifully styled photo shoot for Ben and Vanessa to announce their engagement!
