So on our first date… my husband, Jared, ALMOST didn’t make a good impression.    See— he arrived late.    I don’t know about you, but when a date arrives late on the first date, it gives me one big impression: uhhh do you really care about this date?!    Luckily, he called me and […]

This dreamy, romantic styled wedding that Amanda created, alongside a team of star wedding vendors, completely captured my heart. I am honored to have gotten to work with so many talented people.

Hello, and happy November! Today I am writing to you to tell you (and show you) all about some photo/business fun I had while I was in Texas last month! You might have seen all this goodness posted on my social media (@sheabriannephotography), but here is the real deal! My film scans are back and […]

In preparing these photos for this post the last couple of days, I have been considering what to write about Katie and August’s beautiful Big Cedar Shooting Academy Wedding.
