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.

At the beginning of 2013, we photographed Nneka and Bobby’s wedding, when they were about to begin their life together in Indiana. Last week, I saw them again when they were back in Florida to visit family — and show off sweet little Acacia, who has got to be in the running for the title of Cutest […]

It’s fun when your friends have babies. And it’s fun to photograph those babies with your friends, to watch their family changing and expanding — expanding physically, and expanding with love — right in front of your eyes. A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing just that when Ally and Matt came […]

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. With pictures like these of perfect little miss Clarity and her perfect family.Doesn’t Clarity  look like a tiny doll in Dei’s arms?Baby […]

It’s a bit surreal watching our past wedding couples become parents — and even more surreal when half of one of those couples is the younger brother of two of my longtime best friends. Another word for it: Incredible. Kaci and Frank are set to welcome Korra in just a few short weeks, just in […]

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 […]

After eight years of marriage, four little girls, and four deployments for Travis, he called Jes — from overseas, during his latest deployment — this winter with a surprise. They were going on vacation to Florida this summer, he told her, to spend a week at Disney and a week at the beach where she […]
