hey y'all
THE SOLE, GREATEST REASON WHY WE LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY IS
TO REMEMBER
PHOTOGRAPHS ARE EVIDENCE.
EVIDENCE OF...
our youth
who we were
who we are
our adventures
growth
a smile
a feeling
our loved ones, by our side, within arms reach
motherhood
fatherhood
childhood
the good ol' days
a detail once forgotten
the most emotional season of our life
the happiest time of our life
a moment we can never relive
the lives we've lived
JOY
an intimacy
LOVE
TIME
We are but human with human capability, and while it is a great privilege to age, our bodies and minds do not remain as they were. Our memory will slowly fail us, and I think for many that's one of the most difficult parts of aging - not being capable of recalling the ones you loved most, or the dear place you called home, or the grand adventures you had.
To remember details otherwise forgotten... like our parent's smiles and how youthful they once looked, how our parents held us and played with us when we were little, our grandparent's holding our hands in their much older ones, the way we looked at the love of our life in the midst of the good ol' days, our growing bellies and big smiles as we started a family, our own children once so small and sweetly innocent.. is a gift you simply cannot put a price tag on. We want to remember as much as possible. In today's world, photography is seemingly so accessible - we pull our phones out at every turn, every first step, every big smile, every adventure, every milestone and anniversary... so we can remember that very moment in time. And while those moments make sweet collections of every day moments... family photos just hit different. They are special for a reason - because you are intentionally carving out time of your busy life to slow down for a day... to step back and look at the wonderful life you've created and been blessed with... to choose to spend time with the people you love most... to show those people just how important they are to you... to make memories together, just for you, just as a family - family photos honor the lives you and your family have lived, the joy and love and time you've spent together.
my favorite thing about my own family photos -
When I look at childhood photographs, I'm most enamored by my parents, how youthful they look, what their smiles looked like, how they played with me and my siblings at the beach, how they beamed with pride looking at us, how they held us, how silly they were, seeing them with their own parents... honestly just everything about them. It makes me so emotional, in the best way. That's how I know your children will most cherish the photographs with you, their parents, in them.
THIS IS WHY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY IS
SO, SO SPECIAL...
to have your family together
playing wildly
loving each other freely
romanticizing your every day life
soaking up the good ol' days (you're in them!!)
capturing details and memories from this moment in time together...
...THAT IS A GIFT THAT IS PRICELESS
AND THAT WILL TRULY BE CHERISHED FOREVER.

ON THE JOB
The families I work with are adventurous and free, they savor life, they laugh a lot and treasure time spent together. They view our sessions like we're going on a family adventure. They let loose, embrace the moment, close their eyes, feel the sun and wind on their skin, get silly, laugh, snuggle and have fun. They feel comfortable being their true self. They embrace the chaos, go with the flow and show up ready to love on their family.
It's one of the most special feelings being invited to join your family, getting to know the real you, and being able to document your family's life in a way that captures your true spirits, pure and authentic, so you will always recognize each other from this sweet season of life.
I can't wait to meet you and I'm so excited to work together! Let's celebrate the good in life :)

MY FAVORITE BOOKS










Ever since I was a little girl, I've always been the one to snap photos of everyone when hanging out with friends or family. I have countless rolls of film developed from disposable cameras, and literally tens of thousands of digital photos (like I pay way too much for extra icloud storage because I can't delete any) and I have printed tons of them, too. I just always want to remember the moment, what it felt like, what everyone looked like. Don't worry I do put my phone away to actually enjoy the present every now and then, too ;p But it's honestly no wonder I ended up in photography. It's the most rewarding career and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I get butterflies in my stomach every time I talk to a client because I'm so freaking excited that I get to meet another amazing family, come into their world and give them the sweetest moments that they'll have forever... Seriously, it's the best thing and I love every second.
If you've made it this far down the page, wow... I'm both impressed and pretty sure we're gonna be good friends :) Just as I love getting to know my clients so I can serve and connect with them better, I want you to get to know me as well. We'll show up comfortable enough to hug, we'll be so excited to finally meet, laughing before you know it, and ready to create some magic together!
