The answer is simple: I’m a gigantic romantic.
I’m a sucker for cute rom coms, love notes, and just love in general. Being in love with my husband has been the greatest adventure of my life and I KNOW other’s get this.
That is why wedding photography is so near and dear to my heart. Photographing your love story is quite possibly the most fulfilling job I could ever have.
So here are some facts about me and my life so that you can get to know me better!
I am a HUGE people person. Getting to know someone and meeting new people gives me fuel through my day. If I can put a smile on your face, I’ve accomplished more than any other task that comes up.

Give me the caffeine. All of it. I love me some coffee. Hence why most of my headshots have me holding a venti iced coffee from Starbucks because it’s basically my life (and yes I know this makes me a basic white girl, but us entrepreneurs know the importance of coffee 😉
I get incredibly excited about everything new. Curating content, planning mini sessions, finding an adorable new plant, or picking up some tiny, useless pretty thing from the Target dollar spot makes me over the top excited and I’ll probably do some sort of awkward happy dance if you catch me doing any of these things.
Cacti make me unnecessarily happy, but I don’t care. I’ve managed to keep 15 cacti alive for the past year and I’m very proud of each of my plant babies. (Speaking of which, if you’re reading this send me a message or comment below reminding me to re-pot those babes…. I’m the worst at remembering that. LOL)
My last name is pronounced like “Notes” not “knotz”. If you’ve made the mistake before, don’t worry, I’ll answer to both 😉
I grew up homeschooled. (yes, nerd alert!) I surprise my husband on a daily with the fact I can read at least 2 novels in one day if I put my mind to it. My life has always been centered around Christ and the unending love and grace that He’s given me from day 1 thanks to my parents raising me in a Christian home.
Benjamin, my husband, was my first official boyfriend, first kiss, and now he’s my one and only hubby. Being the huge romantic that I am I always pictured my parents love story where they got married super young and had kids right away. So I tried forcing that to happen for the longest time and nothing ever went right. Then I met Ben and my life has been complete since then. This is why I’m obsessed with love stories, as each is so different and unique. I wasn’t meant to have my parents love story just as you weren’t meant to have mine.
I revolve my entire job around capturing your love story. I won’t try to mix it in with mine or your mothers or anyone else’s. Your wedding is about you and you alone.
I hope you have a FANTASTIC week and that your days are spent with someone you love. Eat some cookies, drink some coffee, and if you need a photographer… you know who to call up 🙂
xoxo,
Lily
