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 I was engaged, I got this bright idea to make my bridesmaids aprons for their bridesmaid gift. I scoured fabric stores for fabric (main and trim) that seemed perfectly suited to each bridesmaid’s personality, and I was pretty thrilled with the results. That was in April. My wedding wasn’t until November. So guess what? […]

I think we can all agree that reality TV has, if not introduced, at least perpetuated a lot of negative stereotypes and coaxed society into believing that bad behavior is not only totally normal, but oftentimes inevitable and occasionally even acceptable. When it comes to reality TV, I almost never watch. Particularly when it comes […]

As soon as the initial shock of the proposal wore off on that rainy night in the middle of January, Danny and I began discussing wedding dates. Spring was too soon, we both decided. Summer too hot. Fall sounded perfect. Now we just needed a date. Choosing a wedding date — a good wedding date — […]
