I've
always been
a 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.

Beach Portraits, Seniors, Sunrise Portraits

Izzy – Class of 2017

Monday, August 1st, 2016

The truth is that I made horrible conversation during this shoot: I just kept sputtering, “You look like a mermaid!” and “Perfect!” every time I pressed my shutter. Izzy was just that great.

And the sunrise that morning — not too shabby either. I have absolutely fallen in love with sunrise sessions, and Izzy’s was no exception. We had the beach to ourselves, save for a couple joggers, a lone bicyclist, and two paddleboarders out enjoying the first light of the morning. It couldn’t have been better.
