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.

An Afternoon in the Woods

Thursday, December 15th, 2016

Sometimes you stumble into the perfect locations by coincidence. And sometimes those locations turn out to be not-so-coincidental at all.

After I learned a wedding was scheduled at the park where we’d originally planned to shoot, I did a little sleuthing around to find a similar spot, where the afternoon sunlight would spill liquid gold through the trees and wide-open spaces would invite a family to play. When I ventured into a park I’d never visited before, I realized I had found a hidden gem. Except it hadn’t been hidden to this family at all: they used to go their regularly when their older daughter was a toddler and they lived nearby. Our forced location change turned out to be serendipitous, and I couldn’t have been happier with what we created that afternoon!
