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.

Fall is starting to settle in around us (even if it still feels like July in many parts of the country), but let’s take a little step back in time to a mild spring evening at the beginning of June at the University of Virginia. We were there to meet Sharon and Harrison for their […]

This is the tale of an engagement session that I felt sure wouldn’t happen — or, if it did, would get blown out to sea by the gale-force winds and driving rain that descended on St. Augustine an hour before Tricia and Jonathan were supposed to start dancing in front of the cameras. But the […]

Overlooking the Disney Boardwalk on a dusky summer evening, they reminisced about the night they first met, at a networking event in Orlando. Tammy wasn’t looking for a relationship, and she was determined to guard her heart carefully until just the right man came along. So Marc had an uphill battle: Convincing her he was really and […]

When we met up with Tammy and Marc at Turkey Lake Park near their home in Orlando yesterday, Tammy knew what to expect: A picnic, and pictures documenting their love story and engagement. But when Marc took her there for a picnic once before, she hadn’t seen a proposal coming. That afternoon, Marc had set […]

Like many a happy couple, Sharon + Harrison couldn’t actually envision the other as their one and only when they first met at work. Sharon thought Harrison was too shy to be much fun. Harrison thought Sharon was on a mission to drive him crazy. But he still invited her to a party last summer […]

Of course the weekend that Sharon and Harrison and Danny and I were able to sync up our schedules for an engagement session at Sharon’s (and Danny’s!) alma mater, the University of Virginia, it happened to be Reunion Weekend. There were dinner parties along the Lawn, dinner parties under tents, dinner parties in the school’s […]
