I really am not a writer. I could talk your ear off for hours on end about pretty much anything but when it comes to writing- it has just never been my thing. I have tons of things going through my head daily and if asked to write them down, nothing, nada, zilch, somehow I…
On sunny days when the sky is blue and the smell of spring blows in the air I can’t help but want to shop. Ok who am I really kidding it could be rainy, snowy or 100 degrees outside and I’d still want to shop. It’s just about that time of year when I pull…
I love spending time outside: walking with my dog, laying in the sun, paddling down the river or skiing. I also love tv. I spend more hours watching tv then I would like to admit. I wouldn’t know what to do without my ti-vo. Catching up on shows on a rainy/snowy day just makes…
A marine biologist so I can work at Sea World. A zoologist so I can work at a zoo. A teacher so I can make a difference. A photographer because its the only thing I can’t see myself ever getting sick of. These were all answers I had to that question you get a million…
I tend to over think things. I’ll have an idea and instead of running with it I’ll often think it over and over until I’m thinking a dead horse. Ok so that analogy doesn’t exactly work here but you get the idea. I have goals and ideas up the wazoo and instead of spending my…
Diane Arbus put her love for photography into the perfect words: "Taking pictures is like tiptoeing into the kitchen late at night and stealing Oreo cookies”. I say bring on the cookies and while I am stuffing my face with sugary goodness I am also striving to capture the emotion, moments and love that is happening right in front of my lens.
I am a wife (newly wed!!!), a doggy momma and 6 feet tall. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but have found myself warming up to the new trend of leggings- almost as comfortable as yoga pants yet acceptable to be seen in public wearing. I love to travel and can't wait to get back to Scotland where my husband, Silas, and I spent our honeymoon. I love people and I love to talk. I hate to write, I'm a terrible speller (thank goodness for spell check). I am a wanna-be foodie and wineo.
I'm a pretty easy going person and I think that aspect of my personality really comes through in my style of photography. I'm not a photographer who poses you by coming up and moving your left arm here, your right arm like that, twist your head this way and that... I'm a little more hands off and a little more about you being you in front of the camera. When it comes down to it you are hiring me to capture YOU. Your life, your family, your wedding. The more I can do to make you comfortable and feel like yourself the better. You'll often hear me say things like "snuggle" to my couples or tell the kids to go kick a soccer ball in the yard for family photos.
I want to know you, we can grab a drink or have dinner at a local pub or just walk down the street to my favorite coffee shop but my goal is to get to know you just a little bit better so that when I'm capturing your life, be it your wedding day, engagement photos or family pictures that you are comfortable with me and I'm comfortable with you so that this camera in my hand isn't the main focus of the day. Capturing you and your life is.
So, hears to a joyous life full of love and beautiful art.
