Alright, I’m kind of over this winter weather. In an effort to pretend that it’s almost spring, I’m on a mission to make my feed a little more green. What could be a better start than a vineyard photo?

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! Andry and I are spending the night at home with wine and dessert (two of my favorite things) instead of fighting the crowds at restaurants. Do you have any fun Valentines Day plans? 📸:@kayleecreightonphotography .

I always arrive early on a wedding day to take a walk around the whole venue, even if I’ve been there multiple times before. I look for the best spots to take photos throughout different parts of the wedding day. Even at the same venue, it’s going to be different for each wedding depending on the time of day, the time of year, and the weather. On this particular day at Industry, I was obsessed with the lighting in the bridal suite, so I moved the furniture and ended up taking a ton of portraits right there in the bridal suite. I’m so lucky to have couples that trust me even when my ideas seem crazy!

I didn’t think my dream job existed until I discovered wedding photography.
.
There’s honestly nothing about what I do that I don’t love. I get so excited just meeting with you, learning about your wedding, and helping you plan your timeline. I’m so happy with you on your wedding day and I love creating amazing images for you and running around capturing all of the details and candids. I love working with the rest of your vendors on your wedding day. They’re probably already my friends anyway. And after your wedding, I get so excited to create your “sneak peak” blog post and then deliver your final gallery.
.
I was made for this. It’s not just my job. It’s my life’s passion. And the best part for me is getting to work with such amazing clients who allow me to do what I love. So, if I don’t say it enough, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! I SO appreciate all of you!

No matter how “technically” perfect a photo is or how beautiful the editing is, you’re not going to like it if you don’t like the way you look in the photo.
.
Almost every couple I work with tells me before their engagement session that they don’t like being in front of the camera, because they don’t usually like the way they look in photos. .
Honestly, it all comes down to posing. Posing is about making sure you look as amazing in your photos as you do in real life. And one of the things I’m always doing during your wedding day and your engagement session is making sure you look your best. I have a whole posing system that we flow through to make sure you have tons of variety and that every photo is super flattering. .
My couples always tell me after their engagement session and their wedding that they felt so comfortable, they had so much fun with their significant other during portraits, and they LOVE the way they look in their photos. For me, there’s nothing that makes me happier in this job than hearing how much my couples love their photos.
