4 coffee shops, a coffee truck
...and 1 sweet lab mix.
My husband and I met on the beach. He was surfing; I was taking photographs. We are celebrating 17 years of marriage this year.
We love to travel worldwide, road-trip, and camp. Exploring is how we seek and find God's glory. As believers in Jesus, it is a joy to find his love in each little detail of Creation; especially in new ways and places.
When I was a little girl, I loved to climb into the attic, sit in the mix of musty boxes with my mom, and discover Walter's old cameras and photographs. Wonder and surprise and the warmth of remembering were all up the footsteps of that stairwell.
Walter was my grandfather and photography was his passion. I pressed the buttons and clicked the shutters and carefully studied his imagination through photographs. From these earliest memories, my heart was excited at the challenge before me:
Find moments and keep them somehow.
I am a photographer now as a passion, mission, and career. My photographic style focuses on blending tradition and whimsy. I believe in telling the whole story from setting the grand scene to focusing on the easy-to-miss details.
A session with me starts with
creative planning: We need...
Music. Inside jokes. Fun outfits. Weird props. The whole picture of what makes your story unique.
Your favorite fast-food is Taco Bell?
We're bringin' it.
You want me to pretend to be a tourist
while you propose to your girlfriend?
Perfect!
You want to dress like Britney for your senior pics and sing at the top of your lungs?
Let's do it.
You are planning your dream wedding
and can't miss a single part of the day
in your photographs?
That's my job. And I genuinely
love. every. moment.
