KARLI & KEVIN

It may be the coolest part of my job that I can be there for the most major moments in my friends lives, this is something i've really learned this last year. When Kev told me he was going to propose to Karli, I almost lost it. What?! My best friend getting married? Even though i'm 25, my friend group hasn't really started doing that thing yet. I get to help plan a wedding? Dress shop? For my BFF?! You think it would lose some of it's magic when your everyday is filled with it, but IT SURE DOESN'T. IT GETS WAY BETTER.

I will cherish these moments for the rest of my life. I will never take for granted the ability to capture memories, and to do so for your loved ones takes everything to the next level. It gives me an appreciation for photography that doesn't come everyday, I get to take the photos and be the one who holds them so dearly. It's shooting things like this that really propel me forward in my career, that remind me this is why I do it. I get to be a part of peoples days and make them feel this everytime they look back at these photos. That's why I give it my all. That's why I fall in love with my couples.
