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.

As a bride elbow-deep in wedding planning, I wanted to handle everything myself. At first. Then planning a wedding got pretty overwhelming, and I couldn’t have been more grateful for all the wonderful friends, family members, wedding professionals — and even a few strangers — who came together to make my wedding a beautiful experience. So […]

If anyone had walked into the rest room at that particular moment during my wedding reception, I’m not sure what they would have thought. In my own mind, it was like reverse-engineering that scene from Gone With the Wind when Scarlett, hanging onto the bed post, insists, “Tighter! Pull the corset tighter!” Except I was hanging […]

One of the hands-down most romantic engagements I’ve ever seen . . . and which I was lucky enough to get to photograph . . . has been published today! Taylor and Jerry’s fantasy-horse-filled engagement from last February is front and center on Borrowed & Bleu this morning, and frankly, I’m happy for a reason […]

Let me start off by saying just how happy I am to have Caitlin and David’s gorgeous watercolor-sea-and-sky-filled engagement session on Style Me Pretty Florida today! This engagement session felt like a dream as it unfolded because it seemed almost too beautiful to be real. The sun, the clouds, the shoreline — everything looked like […]

Last April, when I walked into the condo where Kristy was getting ready, I caught my breath. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, a pretty pastel color palette, lovely furnishings. It was perfect. Not every bride is going to have such opulently beautiful surroundings as we found that morning — but they aren’t mandatory, either. There […]

When I got married, I had never heard of a bride and groom having a first look before the ceremony. Never heard of a father-daughter first look. Never knew that some brides and grooms hold hands around a doorway to pray together without seeing one another before the ceremony. Looking back on my own wedding, […]
