I remember talking with friends last year about how I had been itching to do a snow shoot with a couple.

Each one is so special, not just because a family is once again whole, but because our Soldiers are home safely. At Fort Campbell, KY, I’ve had the pleasure of […]

What do you get when you have two gorgeous, red-headed archers who are crazy in love with each other? You have one of the most amazing and unique sessions you’ve ever photographed!
