This session was just as sweet as it looks. We spent the evening with Megan and Tim in the country outside of Harrisonburg, Virginia. We were tucked away in the rolling hills in between beautiful fields and family farms. It reminded me all over again why I just love Virginia. We really have it all… beaches, mountains, history, and great schools! JMU, while it did play a role in Tim and Megan’s story, isn’t actually where it started!
Tim and Megan met and really got to know one another while they were on staff at a summer camp. Their story carried back to campus and they started dating. This gorgeous location wasn’t just a random spot I found in the mountains outside of Harrisonburg; it’s a location that Megan recommended because it’s a part of their story. This is where they would take friends who were visiting, where they would escape campus life on dates and where they would ride scooters together!! How fun?! I think one of my favorite moments throughout our entire evening together was when we were ending their shoot and Megan said quietly, “Well, we do have our scooters in the back of the car”. I think my response was, “What?! Omg YES!!! Go get them!” haha! The view was magnificent but the finale with the scooter riding was just the icing on the cake!
We love Megan and Tim! We love their sweet relationship, we love how Tim can have us all cracking up and we love what God is calling them to as a newlywed couple. It is such an honor to be the ones that get to capture this special season of their lives! Enjoy their engagement pictures… especially the last few!! Smiling and scooting at the same time is really quite a talent!!
Life has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? Over the last few months, I’ve been on a medical rollercoaster that I never saw coming.

In today’s world, the idea of a “healthy home” can feel overwhelming. With constant information about toxins, processed foods, and environmental risks, it’s easy to feel defeated before you even start. So I’m sharing our journey and the small, impactful steps we’ve taken towards a healthier home.
Wedding days can be incredibly stressful for everyone involved. Photographers, brides, grooms, and guests alike often find themselves overwhelmed by the schedule and the numerous details that need attention. However, there are key “in-between” moments throughout the day that can be leveraged to create a smoother experience and better outcomes. As the photographer, you can calm the nerves of everyone there and capture their day beautifully!
This week, Michael is sitting down with me at the microphone to join me on the podcast! When we started our Acton Academy journey, we had big dreams and very little idea of the practical challenges that lay ahead. Today, in year three of running our own Acton Academy, Michael and I are thrilled to reflect on the incredible transformation we’ve seen in our learners, our community, and even our own perspectives on education.
