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.

Every few days, at least, someone will ask, “How’s the photography business going?” Inevitably, I’ll reply something along the lines of, “It’s keeping me busy.” After a while, it became easy for me to predict the next question: “So you’re shooting a lot of weddings?” The answer is yes and no. Because Danny and I […]

“Do you think we should shake up the order of the photos we’re showing in our galleries on our website? Put more emphasis on the details instead of showing just portraits and candid shots?” Danny was finishing up his lunch when he asked this, while I had barely put a dent in mine because, as […]

A couple days ago, I read this article from RockNRoll Bride about how competition is good for everyone, and I wanted to stand up and clap. Kat, (the editor/writer behind the popular blog) was just so fearlessly unconcerned with stepping on toes — she just wanted to set the record straight for those of us who might […]

Never, ever in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would get to work with my husband on a daily basis. It is such a joy. Even when we’ve stayed up late into the night revamping our website (all last week) or been so tired and sore after a wedding that we can hardly […]

As photographers, we’re always fixated on light. Danny and I joke about how we’ve become such light geeks. As we’re driving in our car, we’ll both comment, “Wow, look at the light coming through those trees! It would be amazing to photograph someone right there.” And something we’ve noticed is how light looks so different in […]
