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.

Brittany + Justin – A Wedding at The Estate on the Halifax

Monday, June 8th, 2015

It was as they kicked off their reception that Justin was able to put his thoughts and feeling into words, to share them with all the friends and family gathered inside the tavern with the newlyweds to celebrate. He thanked them for coming, he thanked them for being a part of the wedding and their lives, but mostly, he wanted to tell everyone how much he loves his bride.

“I’m just so proud to show her off,” Justin said as Brittany smiled down at the table, a little bit shy. There was no doubt — she always knew how he felt.
