hi, there! I'm so glad that you have arrived here. The blog is a reflection of how I approach life. It has twists and turns and maybe a surprise or two if you keep your eyes peeled. Go on an adventure, get lost for a moment, and have no fear - you can always find your way back. Get in touch when you are ready. Your love story is epic, your photos should be, too.
Meet the Snider family! They were the winners of the “Share the Wander” photo contest I did this month. To WIN a family photo session with me all they had to do was share an image from any family adventure and post it directly to the Wayfaring Wanderer FB page along with a sentence or two […]
“You must have the patience of a saint!” Alyce proclaimed. “I promise you, it’s not the first time I’ve had to deal with something like that! It happens pretty often.” I assured her. We both couldn’t help but laugh as we recalled the full-body tantrums that their two-year-old toddler, Kelby, was having during our family photo […]
We’re starting to come out of hibernation here in Boone and as a result I’m already feeling the spring spirit, so I’ve decided to host a fun giveaways this year to show my appreciation for all of the amazing supporters I have in this community. Your referrals and kind words mean so much to me […]
Leah and Chuck were looking for a low-stress wedding day experience. They wanted to keep it simple with a small, intimate ceremony instead of taking on the overwhelming task of planning a big destination wedding from far away. Eloping was an idea the couple explored and they chose an all-inclusive elopement package that the Banner […]

I was photographing a wedding that weekend, but because their schedule was flexible we were going to shoot for a session on the day after on Sunday. While I knew I’d be worn out after 16+ hours of wedding photography two […]
I had so much fun doing family portrait photography and engagement photography last year during the fall and holidays that I wanted to offer Choose Your Adventure Sessions again this season!

“Where could it be?!” Ali wondered. “When were you last wearing it?!” one of the bridesmaids questioned as we attempted to solve this conundrum. We were all perplexed as we retraced her steps to the ceremony site. Somewhere along the way Ali’s veil blew off and it was nowhere to be found. Since we were […]
“If it was sanitary, I’d give you a high five right now because that was the best freakin’ meal I’ve eaten in a while!” I was not quiet about it either because the fella who had just walked up with his family interjected with, “I’m glad to hear that!” Good food makes me happy, simple […]
“We have to go to Plan B!,” said one of the bridesmaids. “If we do it outside at the original ceremony site your dress will get ruined before the day even begins!” After that, a flurry of activity began as furniture got shuffled and the guests and groomsmen were notified of the switch.

Between the four of us, we hadn’t yet spotted the wild berries, but as we continued to walk closer to the area he was leading us toward, he became more […]
