The Campbells | Lifestyle Session

As I'm sure you've noticed, weddings are my thing. They're the little thing that is always there in the background of my creative mind, begging for attention. Don't get me wrong, I will cheerfully photograph just about anything, but given the choice I will don one of my twirly dresses and click away at heart felt vows every single time.

Rewind just a bit.  7 years ago photography found me, and I found Kortney. I was just starting out and admittedly didn't know anything about anything, with one exception:  I KNEW that I was NOT going to photograph weddings. The thought of botching someone’s wedding gave me palpitations. No really. I'm talking day drinking 2 bottles of wine type anxiety. Weddings were for people who knew camera stuff, and wedding stuff, and all the stuff. Not me.

And then Kortney got engaged. I had taken some photos of her and her boyfriend John as a kind of experiment. Ya know, to see if I could take decent engagement (ish) photos. I must have done a fair job because Kortney decided that I was shooting her wedding, whether I liked it or not.

For every one of my no's she said yes, for every "but what if I screw it up!?" she said "You won't", and for every "No really, I AM GOING TO SCREW THIS UP!" she said "I believe in you, you will be fine." 

And she was right. 

And now, thanks to her, weddings are TOTALLY my thing. (Although, I am kinda digging in home lifestyle sessions too. Who knew?) 

So 7 years, babies, business ventures and multiple photo sessions later:  I still love photographing her (and her boys, and their super cozy and adorable house), and she still believes in me.
