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.

Maybe it’s misnamed — a wedding day “emergency kit” isn’t for real emergencies. It’s for the minor ones. Like at my wedding, when one of my bridesmaids accidentally brushed against the skirt of my gown as she helped me put on my shoes, and she left behind a streak of makeup on the rippled taffeta. […]

Last week, Danny and I received a copy of the photography rules for the church where we were going to be shooting Jessica and Stephen’s wedding on Saturday. As far as churches go, these rules were fairly standard, and didn’t overly-limit us in regards to the pictures we could get during the ceremony. They were […]

For me, choosing my wedding’s colors was one of the hardest parts of planning. I’ve never been someone who had one favorite color, and there were just so many gorgeous shades to choose from once I started wading through bridesmaid dresses. I bounced from wanting my girls in a soft china blue to a muted […]

At some point before we book a wedding with a new couple, I always want to know the answer to an all-important question: What is it that makes you interested in having Danny and me, specifically, there to photograph your wedding? To me, that question is incredibly important, because the way a couple answers will help me […]

Have you ever stopped to really think about just how many things are going on for the bride and groom in one wedding day? Let’s count. They’re starting their marriage. They’re hosting the biggest party of their lives. They’re spending the day with all of their nearest and dearest — quite likely the only time in […]

Have you ever browsed through a friend or relative’s wedding photographs and thought to yourself that it was a beautiful wedding, but the key players didn’t seem very emotionally involved? That they just smiled for the camera and went through the motions? I’ve thought that — and I’ve thought that about weddings that I know were […]
