There is something especially sweet about photographing families during the season when little ones are growing faster than anyone wants to admit. The Holman family’s session at Hayfields Country Club was filled with all the things I love most about family photography: giggles, tiny hand squeezes, sisters who adore each other, and parents soaking in […]

A Magical Wedding at Hayfields Country Club: Jeanette & Ryan’s Unforgettable Day There are some weddings that leave a lasting impression on your heart, and Jeanette and Ryan’s November 2 celebration at Hayfields Country Club was one of them. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this day was going to be something […]

Yah! This awesome October wedding is up on the blog today! And we couldn’t be more excited to share it! Hannah and Chris had a beautiful Hayfields country club wedding, a sister club to Turf Valley resort, with a stunning pond, spacious grounds and main club house. During the pandemic the club did renovations so the ballroom looked very different from when I was last there in 2014 photographing florals for Victoria Clausen.

Ekk, this session I’m so excited to blog! First off, I met Johnna years ago through Turf Valley and her sister Nicole who is one of my good friends. Love her to pieces! When Nicole AND Johnna both reached out to tell me that Johnna and Josh wanted to hire us for their wedding, we were elated, and so honored. Our time with Josh and Johnna was soo much fun. I’m not sure if we liked their session more, or talking about life, houses, and hobbies over some amazing CPK food! They dominated their session, and there was a little hazieness in the air that made it dreamy, suspenseful and romantic! Johnna and Josh, we are so pumped for you! We are going to have the most fun day with you guys!

This past Saturday, I was hired to photograph “the details” of work done by Victoria Clausen.

Victoria is an amazing woman, great personality with beautiful style. I met her through a mutual friend, Elle Thompson, a fellow teacher at McDonogh when I taught there right out of college.

Victoria is a floral event designer and creates extravagant pieces for weddings and events. From centerpieces, to atmosphere and hanging draperies to escort tables and cocktail parties, Victoria covers it all. The job I was hired for was for a wedding, and my job… to capture the detail work of this designer for the bride and groom. The photos take at this shoot will go into a book created by Victoria as a gift to the bride and groom.
