Thanks for stopping by!
I’m a lifestyle photojournalist and wedding photographer based out of Memphis, Tennessee. I am so incredibly blessed to do what I love and meet awesome people at the same time! I’m married to the raddest geek you’ll ever meet and we have three fur babies who will lick you to death! (you’ve been warned)
I shoot strictly digital with nikon equipment and I am proficient with Adobe Photoshop CS5, that being said, I really don’t do much editing to my work! Feel free to lounge around the blog, or make your way to my website, I’d love to hear from you!

After several months of talking through email, facebook and over the phone we finally had a chance to meet! Here are a few photos of the mini engagement session I requested!
best of friends :: lindner + friends | jackson, tn child photographerJuly 27th, 2010Farrar contacted me several months ago about a session. She wanted to surprise her best friend and get photos taken of her and her daughters, along with Farrar and her adorable daughter. I don’t normally take sessions like this, but really, you’d have to see their children. They are way too cute to pass up! [...] |

This is just a small sneak peek and what I could get edited right now, so I’ll probably post many more later! 
the first look | memphis, tn | jackson, tn wedding photographerJuly 20th, 2010When a bride meets with me for a consultation, one of the first questions I ask is whether they will see each other prior to the ceremony.

When a bride meets with me for a consultation, one of the first questions I ask is whether they will see each other prior to the ceremony. Many a time I’ve gotten a weird look with an obvious “No! Of course not!” – then I explain why I ask, and why I urge my brides to consider a “First Look”.
The main reason is the fact that with a first look we can get almost all of the photos with the bridal party done before the ceremony – you wont leave your guests waiting for the reception for 1-2 hours.
The second reason, and the reason I think you should consider it the most, is the intimacy involved. No crowding, no gawking, just you and your love. Personally, I love the cuddle time, and the nervousness of the groom as he waits for her to tap him on the shoulder.
Mostly, I love the love that beams from this moment. Sure, it’s great to see his face as you’re walking down the aisle. But there’s so much distraction, so much going on..the first look gives you a moment that belongs to no one else.
This is Veronica and Jonathan’s first look:

This is a small teaser for Katie and David and their families. I will try to have a second part posted after they get back from their honeymoon!
They had a beautiful wedding! Even though it was hot and in July, everyone pulled through and was so laid back.
Random fact: Katie’s family did all of the floral arrangements themselves, and they were GORGEOUS.
Thanks to April Allen at April Allen Photography for shooting with me, like always, I had lots of fun!
