One of the most common concerns I hear from my clients is that they don't know what to expect or that they feel like they aren't "photogenic".
I tell all of my clients a little secret before we begin taking photos - you really can't do anything to mess this up!
Whether it is a family session or your wedding day I don't expect that you have done this before (but don't worry, because I have).
Life is full of beautiful moments that are sometimes mixed in with chaos. I am a pro at sifting through and plucking out the shining moments of joy, no matter is what is happening in front of the lens.
Let your kids be kids and run and play! You're only job during our session is to be present with your loved ones and have fun, I handle everything else. You'll never feel awkward because I'll guide you through poses and prompts to elicit genuine, candid reactions.
When you open your finished gallery, it will be all the best parts of what you remembered - but even better.

Bright, clean, emotive images without all the fuss.

My Philosophy

quick facts

I have been a professional photographer since 2009

1 Son + 1 German Shepherd
(I don't trust people who don't like dogs. They probably don't have souls.)

I am a not so secret nerd. I love fantasy fiction, LOTR, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones (Team Tyrion all the way)

Life is either an adventure or an ordeal, it all depends on your outlook.

Outside of photography I love fitness, obsess about organization, build things and do woodworking, and love running trails.

Photographing the details is one of my favorite parts of the wedding day!

The fast paced world we live in today is both a blessing and a curse. When it comes to choosing a photographer to capture your wedding, the options can seem endless - and more than a little overwhelming.

Getting married is a new adventure for most of us. It’s hard to be able to know which things will really be important tomorrow, next year, or a decade from now.

I was married in the Summer of 2004. At the time my husband and I were young and about to be relocated by the Army. I did the (now) unthinkable and did not hire a photographer for our wedding.

Back then it didn’t seem like a big deal - we always planned on having a “real” wedding later on. Life, however, had other ideas and now more than a decade later I do not have a single photo from our wedding day that I can print larger than 4x6.

Our families, and our spouses in particular, are the biggest source of love and support that we have in this life.

I want your marriage to be “A light for you in dark places, when all others go out.”

Everyone deserves to have a visible reminder of the strength, support, and joy that their marriage provides.
