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.

Outside of their house, everyone thinks the Hughes girls are quiet. But I know better. I’ve been inside their house. Secretly, these two little dolls are firecrackers; they just save all the sparks for when no one but their parents and baby brother are watching. Lucky for us, they warmed right up to the cameras during […]

If I had to choose one phrase to describe the kiddos we photographed today, it would be “on the go.” Where they find such energy reserves I’m not sure, but I think they could power their entire neighborhood if someone would just figure out a way to plug these two into the power grid! Danny […]

I had to share these quick preview pictures that Danny put together from our family shoot this afternoon. The beautiful sunshine-y day turned gusty and drizzly and gray just before we met this wonderful family for a photo session in Central Park. If you’ve been following our blog of late, you might have noticed we’ve […]

Little Zacchaeus, not quite three weeks old when we did this Ormond Beach newborn photo session, is one of the tiniest babies I’ve ever seen! With itty bitty fingers and toes, and nearly swallowed by his diaper, he is a precious little sweetheart, blessed with parents who are dedicated to ensuring he grows up to […]

You might remember Bethany and Joshua’s maternity shoot from May, when they were looking forward to welcoming their son. Well, Lucas arrived last month, and he couldn’t have come to a more loving, nurturing family. (I said Bethany would be a great mom. She is. And Josh is clearly in love with his little boy!) […]
