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.

Well, we’re back in the D.C. area again! This time, we’re not here to shoot, and we’re not here for a holiday with family. We’re here for a few days playing tourists with some of our best friends. On Thursday, Danny and I road tripped up from Florida with Amanda, and of course George. On […]

From July 14, when I headed out to chaperon summer camp, to July 23, when I finished my second of two planned days off working on organizing my house, I barely touched my photography business. I responded to emails, and my pre-written blog posts went up as scheduled. But other than that, I didn’t work on […]

I’d always had an excuse: I really didn’t like my shoes; my schedule was too hectic except during the hottest part of the day; the workout clothes I had really weren’t good for running. So I got rid of the excuses. Except for days when I’m shooting a wedding, I can truly set my own […]

So often, I find myself daydreaming of exotic locations. Wanting a change of pace and a change of scenery. I dream about St. Lucia, where we honeymooned. The Baths at Virgin Gorda, where I would love to take a family holiday someday when we have several mini-mes running around us. Hunan, China, the Cinque Terre […]

When I was a teenager, it was an annual tradition, and my favorite part of the year: Spending a week at my church’s summer camp at Camp Kulaqua. A week of worship and getting blobbed in the spring and meeting new friends and competing in ridiculous games. Now I’m a little too old to go […]
