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.

Callie + Phil – An After the Altar Preview

Tuesday, November 12th, 2013

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. And yesterday couldn’t have been any more incredible.Dubsdread Wedding PhotographyI can’t wait to share the rest of this incredible session, but for now, I’ll just share one of the reasons that I think After the Altar portraits can be such a great way to cap off the wedding celebration: As Callie reiterated several times yesterday, it was far more relaxing than the wedding day itself. Dedicating an entire afternoon to shooting portraits on a day when there was nothing else planned — no reception to get to, no guests waiting, no other photographs to take, and perhaps best of all, no wedding day jitters — means it feels like just an hour or two of laughing together, all dressed up. And it produces some incredibly beautiful results.
