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.

If this wetlands session looks vaguely familiar…it might be because we did almost the same shoot, almost exactly three years earlier, when these two were engaged and eagerly anticipating their life together. And then, last month, we did this session…with these two eagerly anticipating life with their soon-to-arrive little man. They didn’t bring their dog(s) […]

At first, the morning was so still and calm, it hardly looked as if we were on the edge of the Atlantic — and I’m not going to lie, the otherworldly sunrise made me think of Star Wars and the desert planet Tatooine. Waking up early for this sunrise was well worth it! I promise, this […]

Her due date has come and gone — but no baby just yet! I can’t wait to meet this adorable little one. Danny and I photographed her parents’ engagement and wedding several years ago . . . and then we photographed two of their friends’ weddings, and those friends’ newborns after that. It only seemed fitting that when […]

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 […]

Last summer my dear friend (and my own maid of honor in my wedding) married Brad on a beautiful day at The Estate on the Halifax. This summer, they’ll welcome their baby! Last month, the morning of Amanda’s bridal shower, we slipped away into the mist along The Loop for an early morning maternity portrait session […]

Back in August Meghan emailed me. She only saw weddings on our website, she wrote, but she liked the look of our photographs and wanted to know if we ever did family portraits. Also, she’d seen on my About Me page that I was a part of the Pursuit Community, and she thought maybe, just maybe, I knew […]
