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.

When we head out of town, I’m always grateful for the change of scenery. People rave about palm trees and Florida beaches — but when you live with them, it’s easy to forget that they’re enthralling. I crave evergreens and maples, and hills and bubbling brooks. Then, once that change of scenery has become commonplace […]

So. I’ve mentioned my ever-growing affection for long lenses in a couple of posts recently. I’ve been spending more and more time using my 105 mm at portrait sessions (and getting results like this, this, and this!), but that focal length is a little bit too long for some situations, and since it’s technically a […]

I’ve been thinking about what it takes to run a small business a lot lately. That’s because we’ve had a couple little hiccups, and we’ve had some major blessings. It all has my brain running a non-stop analysis of why we do what we do when it comes to running a photography business. I didn’t become […]

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how much we have liked all our couples. We think they’ve been great to work with, but even more, they’re great people. We definitely don’t take this for granted, and we feel incredibly blessed to consider our couples our friends. But this week, something else occurred to me. Not only […]

It’s really no secret that I love food, is it? I’ve blogged about juicing, and on my website I list popcorn and good wine among my favorite things on this earth.
