A New Part Of The Caynay Family.. | Personal Post

I’ve been sitting on the idea of buying a big Mac (iMac) for a while. It has been something that has sat in the back of my brain for the past couple of months. My momma texted me and filled me in on the their teacher/student discount going on right now! Woo! I drove my […]

Melissa & Thomas | Chicago Engagement Session

By the end of the session (heck, even from the beginning) we felt like old friends. We laughed like old friends and it truly felt like we were just hanging out with a camera. Melissa & Thomas are spunky, comical, beautiful, warm individuals and they are the epitome of people that you would want to […]

Little Miss A | Newborn

As a photographer you find your niche. You find the thing you love and you keep doing it over and over and over again. In my case? It’s weddings. I adore everything about them. But sometimes you get the request to do something different and you can’t say no. Megan (my boyfriends sister), had a […]

Devon & Alexa | Mt. Horeb Wedding

She gracefully slipped her arms into the sleeves of her dress. A big smile splashed across Alexa’s face and that’s when I heard her say, “I’ve waited for this moment my whole life”. Alexa was so ready to marry Devon. In our culture it seems that we are forgetting the core of a wedding day.. […]

What I Wear | Weddings

Old Navy was running a sale on their dresses earlier in the year. I snagged the most perfect little black dress that was not only modest but flattering for $20.

Ian & Kendra | Settlers Park Outdoor Wedding

Everyone raised their glasses in a toast.. Amanda, the maid of honor, explained that she knew instantly that Ian was made for Kendra by her glow.. That her smile had never been as big as it was when she talked about Ian. Oscar Wilde once said, “Never love anybody that treats you like you’re ordinary”.. […]

A Week Away… | Personal Post

The place where the floors aren’t level, where the screen doors have slammed the same way they have since I was a kid. The place that if you’re showering and hear a toilet flush it’s going to be one of two things 1. scalding hot water or 2. ice cube water which is a 50/50 […]
