My business motto, and really my life motto as well is: It’s all about love. Because when you think about it… it is. Love is the most important thing in life. The love of your family, the love of your life, the love of yourself (yes sometimes a little self love is good for you)….
It’s amazing what bringing a new generation into the world does for a family. That first baby, grand-baby, neice or nephew is always the apple of everyones eye. From the first time I talked to Katelyne I was excited about the shoot and when I arrived at the house that the family had rented…
When families get together it’s always a special occasion. When it’s extended family who have traveled from half way across the country and it’s Christmas time it’s truly a special occasion and one worth documenting! When Meredith and Pat contacted me about doing some family photos for her and Pat’s family while they were…
Mini sessions are the perfect way to get that great shot of your family for christmas cards and gifts! If you are a married couple, a dating couple, have no kids, have 10 kids, if it’s just you and your dog a mini sessions is the perfect way to get some great photos this…
I can’t believe how fast this little girl has grown up. I feel like it was yesterday that I was taking newborn photos. I know, I know everyone says “they grow up so fast!!” But this is really the first time in my life I’ve been so close to someone with a baby and watching…
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.
