with these images we…

From the moment your heart fluttered at the glance of them–you knew. (hey Siri, play Cut to the Feeling). I have a feeling I know you. 

Let’s get into it. Sometimes I’m giving Momma Bear, and sometimes it’s Mother Bear. Either way, I’m showing up for you–how you need me to on this important day. Unconditional acceptance; without judgment. You are exactly who you are supposed to be; let me show you what the world sees…from the perspective of someone that feels like chosen family. 



Whether you’re partying with family on the dance floor (and queens, obviously) or in need of a   cheerleader–that’s where I fit in. A friend of Dorothy, with a corn fed, Midwestern heart and a desire to sing Beyonce songs as loudly as possible (see: she ain’t no diva–if you know, you know), and just enough life experience to understand that no matter how complicated life gets–we can find joy here. Anyone can take a photograph, but I know you want someone present that has been there before. Someone who understands the sensitive dynamic of your celebration and will lean in–no holds barred.

what’s the tea?

We're still astounded at the way Matty brought their talent, charm, and empathy to our engagement shoot. It was such an incredibly comfortable experience and they did an amazing job at finding every moment. We'd even say there were times we forgot the camera was there. After the shoot was done, they were very communicative and made sure to get the prints back to us as quick as they could. Seeing that they were as excited to see the pictures as we were made us feel deeply cared for.

We had such an incredible time. Matty captured so many amazing moments—from intimate to silly—that emulate our relationship perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better representation of our love during such a special time in our lives.

All this to say…isn’t it time to celebrate? I am so proud of you for making it this far. And I am so glad you found me, too. I want to capture your love like a big hug–the bear hug variety. Just tight enough to squeeze out a smile. It’s an embrace without hesitation. Bottom line? I want the glitter, the sweat, the drag, the leather, and love. Bonus points if you read that in Gaga. We speak the same language. It’s coded.

Are you excited? I am.

Chappell Roan said “you’d have to stop the world just to stop the feeling” and she’s all the way right. Let’s do this, together–because that feels right, too.

With love,
