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.

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. […]

They’re not only twins, they’re identical twins, each just as adorable as the other. For the time being, even their parents are only able to tell them apart thanks to a strategically painted toenail on one of their little men. But while they look just the same, at five weeks old they’re already growing into […]

Due to distance and unexpected travel plans, Calvin was already one month old when I got to meet him. He was worth the wait. Amanda has been one of my dearest friends since before we were teenagers, and she was my maid of honor when Danny and I got married. When I first started dabbling in […]

If you’ve been through the blog before, you might recognize Amy and Chris. Danny and I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement and wedding in 2013, and last month, I got to photograph something that may be even more exciting: the two of them with their absolutely precious little man, cozy at home. I love doing […]

It’s always a bit awe-inspiring to watch a family grow. That’s especially true when that family belongs to one of your childhood friends. Seeing the way children inherit bits and pieces of their parents’ personalities, the way their features are a patchwork of the two families’, and how they become individuals all their own is such […]

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 […]
