There are no words to describe the love affair that I have with the White Mt. Cupcakery. Marc and Kathy are two of the best people on the face of this planet. They are funny, sweet, kind and super talented when it comes to making my mouth water for delicious sweet treats. When I was…
Palm trees, white sand beaches, sunshine and drinks with brightly colored umbrellas. As nice as that all sounds that is not the honeymoon that Silas and I wanted to have. I love the beach, don’t get me wrong, but neither Silas or I are the kind of people who want to sit in the sun…
One of the very first weddings I shot for my own business was at Whitney’s Inn. I remember being scared to death about all the things that could go wrong and then realizing that the moment I got there things just fell into place. Thats the kind of place Whitney’s is. Everything just works. Now…
Planning a wedding is insane, I’ve been in and around the wedding business for the past 6 years and I’m still completely overwhelmed when it comes to planning my own wedding. I have no lack of ideas but getting those ideas from Pinterest to reality is much more difficult then I had ever dreamed!!! And…
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.
