Hi! Kali, here! Not only am I Arden’s intern, but I also do hair and makeup for weddings, pageants, and formal events. When I think weddings, I think glowing bride.

You aren’t seeing double but you are seeing twice the cuteness! Becky Burns’ twin grandchildren might be the cutest set of twins we’ve ever seen, and they are such hams with the prettiest baby blues you’ve ever seen!

It seems so urban and modern and then you turn the corner and you have the lush green grass of Railroad Park – way to go Big Ham! Julie and Paul […]

Family portraits are some of our favorite shoots to do! We love getting to know the family and watching the kids grow up over time as we often photograph the family more than once. We met Melissa at the Botanical Gardens with her two adorable children – I mean look at that red hair! Like […]

We loved shooting Brittany and Cory’s engagement photos back in August! Can’t believe it’s already October and they are getting married this Saturday! Looking forward to more fun times out of this cute family! More photos to come.
