A Home for All the Moments That Matter Most

A Collection of Life’s Unforgettable Chapters

The forecast was calling for some unseasonably warm weather on Saturday for Alex and Taylor’s big day.

But even though the warmer than average temperatures were not what anyone was […]

After what seems like an endless amount of rain at the beginning of the month, I was so happy to FINALLY have a senior session that we didn’t have to reschedule. Then to top it off we even had a glowy summer sunset! I haven’t seen one of those in a very long time!!! We […]

It all began with a wave…from Sasquatch that is. It was a little gif of the Sasquatch from the Jack’s Links commercials blowing a kiss and waving, similar to the one below but I couldn’t for the life of me find the exact one. And before you ask, I don’t know what I was thinking […]
