Flip flops are a must year round. I believe all animals have a desire to be pet and it very well may kill me one day. I'm totally a morning person and am most productive in the wee hours of the morning. I was born and raised on the water but am not a fan of seafood. Don't pull me on the dance floor because I absolutely cannot dance. I've lived in South Dakota, Ohio, Indiana, and Virginia (no, it wasn't the military, I just married a nomad at heart). I've been married for almost 22 years and have 3 pretty awesome kids. Photography has taken me all over the country, TX, AZ, NC, OH, CA, FL, MD, PA, DE, and WV. My dream is to photograph a wedding in Iceland... So if you know someone, hook a sister up!!

with just the right amount of direction. I love working with natural light and true to life color to create images that feel honest, joyful, and full of life. While my work has a laid back vibe, I guide posing intentionally to help you feel confident and connected so even the most posed moments still look and feel like you. my goal is always to make the experience easy fun, and genuinely reflective of your story.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about my clients. Past, present, and future. I desire a relationship that extends further than the wedding day. The industry is constantly changing and I aim to keep up with new standards while holding true to my style.
I value my client's time and strive to make the experience easy and fun.
