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.

Here are a few of the things I’ve learned in this wonderfully fun, crazy, exhausting, sometimes stressful and always exciting job. — 1.) Relaxed photographers beget relaxed photography subjects. […]

It’s something I’ve come to expect from couples when we’re talking through their engagement session details. In fact, it seems inevitable. We talk through where we’re going to shoot, the day and time, what they’re going to wear. And then the bride informs me, “We’re pretty nervous in front of cameras.” Or she’ll say, “My […]

It’s a story I usually recite to each of our couples, because inevitably they ask, “So how did you get into wedding photography?” How did we get into wedding photography. . . . To summarize, it went something like this: Wanting to be a writer, I headed to college to study English and Creative Writing. […]

It’s Friday. There should be the Photographers’ Friday intro at the top of the page, leading into a blog post about photography tips or running a photography business. But there isn’t. This summer, Danny and I have had some serious conversations about our photography business, what we want it to become as it continues evolving, and […]

Technically, the first half of the year ended in June. But in June, it still feels like things are just getting started, what with summer beginning and the school year ending (even though neither Danny nor I have been involved in any kind of school for the past five years. . . .). So we’ll […]
