LETS GET REAL, HERE

I really do expect my couples (and families, and individuals!) to be open to the process of being vulnerable - to try and put aside expectation and judgement and allow themselves to truly enjoy their session with me. And how unfair would it be if I wasn't putting myself out there, too?

So, a little bit about me so you don't feel like were complete strangers;

  • Sociology was my major in college - I love the inter-workings of relationships and the merging of groups of people - which is why I LOVE watching families come together at weddings. It is such an interesting process with such a cast of characters. I will fall in love with your silly Aunt Sue and laugh with your Uncle Bob - guaranteed.

  • I live for the just-before-bed deep conversations I have with my 11 year old, Addie. She is so much wiser than I will ever be!

  • My husband Jon and I love traveling, hunting down the best Italian sandwiches no matter the city were in, arguing over home decor (told you I was being real, here!) and finding the best campgrounds.

  • Like most people, I prefer dogs to humans (I'm kidding, kind of) and have a lovable, socially anxious cockapoo named Murphy. He has taught me so much about patience, always being kind, and to always have snacks handy.

  • Reading up on enneagrams (I'm a 4) and Myers-Briggs (INFJ-T's unite!) is how I find purpose in my day; I can always go for a tequila drink, and religiously listen to Miami's top hits 94.9. Give it a listen - you will be hooked. You've been warned!

  • I was a health coach for many years - helping people manage stress and overcoming health challenges. It was rewarding and different and shooting weddings allows me to practice my stress coping skills… keeping family and friends easy breezy on their wedding day :)

who really LOVES getting their picture taken? probably not too many ! but I do hope you leave your sessions with me feeling lifted up, feeling confident, wearing a huge grin on your face because you allowed yourself to enjoy the sometimes chaotic moments being with your friends, or family, or significant other. Its so hard to do - to relax and just be - but as long as you come to your session with an open mind, you will love the results we capture together. I am in this with you!

No matter what you're looking to have photographed--an engagement, a wedding, the birth of your babe, or your Sunday morning blueberry pancake ritual--my goal is to tell your story, with a focus on those moments in the middle with just as much importance as the big stuff.
