Movie tickets, greeting cards, journals, and photographs--For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for preserving memories through collecting keepsakes and artifacts of life. So many of our best chapters pass by almost unnoticed; too fast to savor and soak in.

Whether you are caught up in the moment, immersed in the energy of walking down the aisle or cuddled into your sofa years later, leaning over the image of when he first saw you, photographs give us not one but two unique moments, both  rich sources of joy. The first is real, fast, and emotionally high; the other is slow, reflective, and full of gratitude.

Can you close your eyes and feel what it felt like to be there again?
It is my privilege and honor to make sure you can.

I am in love too, by the way...

 I met my husband on the beach when I was 18. He was surfing and always after the perfect wave; I had my camera ready, always after the perfect shot. When Ryland paddled in, we asked for each others' names and I snapped a portrait of him. Knowing exactly how he looked that day is such a treasure. When I reflect back over our whole life together, all we have been through and all we have built, I love knowing that this single moment on the beach is not something I have to conjure up or imagine from vague memory...It's recorded in a photograph that we both can revel in as one of the best days of our lives.
