I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Baby Acacia – 2 Months Old | Orlando Lifestyle Photography

Monday, August 18th, 2014

At the beginning of 2013, we photographed Nneka and Bobby’s wedding, when they were about to begin their life together in Indiana. Last week, I saw them again when they were back in Florida to visit family — and show off sweet little Acacia, who has got to be in the running for the title of Cutest Baby of the Year. Two months old now, she’s overflowing with a personality much larger than her itty-bitty body, and I spent the entire evening after photographing her telling Danny, “You would have loved this baby!”

Everybody, meet Acacia Ann-Louise.Orlando lifestyle newborn photographerOrlando Newborn Lifestyle PhotographerNewborn lifestyle photography Orlando FloridaNot so secretly, I love capturing the meltdowns as much as the coos and giggles.
