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.

This winter in Florida hasn’t been much of a winter at all. Balmy, beautiful days and balmy, beautiful nights. Oh — and gorgeous sunrises. A couple months ago, just as fall was wrapping up and winter was getting underway, we headed to the beach with our friends for a sunrise session decked out with girly Lilly […]

This girl absolutely rocked my first portrait session of the year! Reyna came down from the frozen Midwest to thaw out at the beach with relatives for a New Year’s vacation, and on her last day in town, we got together for a cloudy-skied sunrise and a healthy dose of palm trees before she headed […]

When our friends’ family came to visit from out of town, there was just one morning we were able to sync our schedules with the sunrise, so we headed to the beach for some family portraits. The sunrise delivered. And our friends did, too. Another sweet session in the books! They don’t all look quite […]

Nearly a year ago, on the coldest day of the year, I photographed the youngest member of this sweet family for her first birthday portraits. Last week, we got together in Palm Coast for a full family portrait session, and thankfully the weather was a lot milder for us this time around! They laughed, they played […]

Thanks to one Hurricane Matthew, we had to change what was supposed to be an afternoon beach session (on what turned out to be a very rainy, gray afternoon) to sunrise the following week (on what turned out to be an incredibly lovely morning). It was the first time these little guys had ever watched the […]

If you’ve spent any time on my blog at all, you recognize these people. From swapping mini sessions at two couples’ retreats to photographing their family at their home to traveling to China with them this spring for their adoption, they’ve made quite a few appearances on this blog. And I have a funny feeling they’ll […]
