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.

The bad thing about sunrise portrait sessions is waking up long before dawn. But that is the only bad thing about sunrise portrait sessions. Between the almost-empty beach, the beautiful pastel colors of the sand and sky, and the sun peeking up out the ocean, sunrise is pretty hard to beat. Throw in a cute family relaxing on […]

It isn’t too often that a family welcomes baby #6, so that in itself was exciting enough. But when baby #6 is also turns out — surprise! — to be baby boy # 1? The excitement level just takes off. Especially for sisters #1-5. There is so much love to be shared in a family of […]

With five girls already in the mix, they got the question nonstop: “So, do you think this one will be a boy?” And their answer every time was an honest, “We don’t know.” They’d decided not to find out this time and let baby # 6 be a surprise! Another surprise: baby # 6 was’t […]

Turning one year old is kind of a big deal. I mean, you only get to reach double digits for the first time once! We met up for some early morning portraits to celebrate this little cutie on a brisk winter morning . . . and after every few camera clicks, we stopped to warm […]

Oh, friends, this was a fun one. A few years ago, we met them at a wedding we photographed. A little over a year later we photographed their engagement portraits, and a few months after that, their wedding. Then they became our neighbors! Only a matter of weeks ago, we did some early morning maternity portraits. […]

These people are pretty special to us. You may remember two of them from the mother-daughter beach portraits last spring — but one of them has changed a lot since then! One thing that hasn’t changed? That megawatt grin, although it’s a little bit toothier these days! Also, there were a couple exciting firsts for me during […]
