The only thing better than capturing moments is telling the stories of the people that go along with them. I always get asked, "How do you always photograph the most inspiring people with the BEST stories?" Well, I believe it's because my clients are also my friends. I get to know them. I pray for them. I take the time to learn about them. And then, I get the privilege to share their stories of love, strength, and courage with the world.
I'm so grateful to be part of their lives. I hope I get to be part of yours, too!
Every year I make a goal to blog more…and every year I fail. Oh wait, every year I get married. Or have a baby. Or buy a house.

These two families are very near and dear to my heart…both are close friends of mine, and both are amazing couples who have overcome incredible challenges together. It was an absolute joy to be able to capture this time in their lives…and to get to snuggle their cute babies, too! I’ve known this first family, the Champs, […]

My birth story. It all began with a Netflix subscription. Curious? Let’s rewind…pun intended. It was a little over a year ago. We didn’t tell many people we were going to start trying for a family; after all, we had no guarantees. We wanted to believe that God would bless us with a child, but we […]
My dad passed away two weeks ago today. People say it gets easier with time, but every day feels a little harder than the one before. I can’t explain the heartache I feel and the pain that comes to mind when I dwell on the fact that he is gone…forever. I can hardly comprehend it […]
I met Madi five years ago. I was interning with the youth group at my church, and she was entering her final year of high school. I’m pretty sure I was supposed to be the “adult”, mentoring the students and helping them learn more about themselves, about Christ, and about each other. But, turns out […]
My first blog post! Yipee!!! I’m so excited to launch my new blog. I have been working on it for a few months, tweaking it and getting it ready to publish…all the while thinking about what I’d like my first post to say. I thought about posting some of my favorite pics of 2011, to […]
