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.

More and more, I’m falling in love with the simplicity of lifestyle portraiture. With quiet, intimate moments right inside a family’s own home. With a soft color palette and even softer window light.

This was the fifth time I’ve photographed Elizabeth and Stephen and their beautiful family, and every time, I promise, I have more fun. Last week was no exception. I got the biggest kick out of both Dei and Sonnette, who are going to welcome their new baby sister next month. And Elizabeth! Seriously, have you ever […]

A few weeks ago, I received an email from one of my fellow Pursuit 31 photographers, Melissa. She was coming to town to visit family, she told me, and she was hoping to get some family photos while they were here. As I said last time I photographed a sweet family, families aren’t my usual […]

You might recognize Sonnette from her newborn portraits and four-month portraits — or you might not, now that she’s hit the big 0-1. Photographing her with her family has been such a pleasure throughout this past year, because they’re as sweet as families come. Clearly. Sonnette arrived at her great aunt and great uncle’s house […]
