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.

We’ve finally done it, guys. After months of considering it, we’ve launched our new website with Showit5! What that means is that now our website works every bit as well on mobile devices as on computer screens, and it’s every bit as easy to navigate on your phone as on your laptop. And we’re just a little bit excited […]

With a whole bunch of portrait sessions scheduled for the next couple weeks, I’ve been thinking about the most common concerns I hear from clients before/as we work together. Frequently, people are nervous about having their pictures taken. Confession time: I am one of those people. What it all comes down to, really, is that most […]

All sessions will take place in the late afternoon/early evening in Ormond Beach. Limited spots are available and will be booked first-come-first-served. Planned locations include: Monday, 10-24: The […]

It’s no secret I’m a fan of golden hour light. The more peachy/salmon/orange/ocher the better, as far as I’m concerned. Since I do most of my sessions entirely with natural light, I usually schedule outdoor portrait sessions to overlap with golden hour at one end of the day or the other. It used to be […]

I’ve mentioned it before, and I know this won’t be the last time I bring it up: I love photographing families at their own homes. With newborns, it’s almost a given that we will photograph them at home, but as children get older, most families decide to venture outside the house to a park or beach […]

In recent years, there have been blog post after blog post written by photographers, directed toward mothers who aren’t comfortable with their appearance and would rather have their kids photographed solo. But I think if we’re honest with ourselves, it isn’t just a few moms who are hesitant to see themselves in photographs. Everyone can be the reluctant subject because — […]
