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.

It doesn’t seem like an entire year has passed since the stormy afternoon when Jordan and Wes promised each other the rest of their lives, for better or for worse. They’d already had a number of years together, dating back to high school, and they were so ready for all the years to come. And […]

Before he even turned around to see Kristin in her stunning wedding gown at their first look, Billy was already smiling so wide that it surely hurt. That’s a good way to sum up their entire wedding day: It was heart’s-about-to-burst-happy, and just as beautiful as a celebration of such a deep, happy love ought to […]

Their day dawned dark and drizzly, and by the time we were headed to Sunset Harbor for the ceremony, the sky was delivering on its threat of rain. But Kelly calmly declared that she didn’t care. She couldn’t control the rain, she said, so she refused to worry about it, because no matter what the […]

Gorgeous couple. Gorgeous location. Gorgeous fall afternoon. It was a definite recipe for success. Back on their wedding day, Callie and Phil had to forgo golden hour portraits because Callie wasn’t feeling very well — and I told her on Monday, as we photographed against the apricot background of the striking sunset, that might have […]

Remember Callie and Phil’s beautiful Dubsdread wedding from June? We got to revisit it yesterday, shooting an After the Altar session where these two got back into their gown and tux.

As we headed to Sunset Harbor, Kelly told her bridesmaids, “It looks like we’ll be going with Plan B.” As in, an indoor ceremony, on the grand staircase, instead of on the dock, due to rain. Kelly was ready for anything — ready to simply marry Jeff, and to celebrate the day with their family […]
