HELLO! i’m so glad you’re here

In all of the interwebs and ALL the options for finding photographers, you ended up here. THANKS! I hope you 1. can find your way around: what’s worse than a not-intuitive website? 2. like what you see. I like scrolling with as little effort as possible, and also getting as lost as I can into images; when I’m on another photographer’s website…so I hope that connects with you. Drop a hello if you feel the need, I always love to connect with people!

a few things I love:

my family

delight

flowers

seasonal light and finding joy in the small things

I don’t share much of them for the same reason I won’t share too many of your memories (or if you’re here to talk with me about family photos, of your kids): because consent matters to me, and I don’t want to put them (you) into a place where you don’t want to be. Nothing is more important to me than your trust. I won’t ever use your image or your wedding as a means to promote myself in a way that exploits you. SHEESH. Can you believe I have to say that out loud!? this world we live in is KA RAZY.

Let’s address the elephant in the room: the pandemic. It’s changed everything, right? What the pandemic has allowed me to show my clients is that ALL ALONG you could have always done, with your wedding plans, what is right for you. And, my only job in this entire process is to support and make your life and day easier by doing what I can to give you the most true photos to your experience. What has become mainstream is what I’ve told you all along. It’s your wedding, do what feels good. Don’t follow what you should do because once you live a life and realize that when you live doing the SHOULD’s in life, you are left deeply unfulfilled. I run my business as transparently as possible, and I promise I will always do what I can do do right by my clients, and you friends + family.
This next summer I hope to do more, whether it’s helping to donate flowers for bouquets for Homeless Families Foundation, or simply spreading colorful happiness via vases around Cbus…all I want is to put as much light out there into the world that I can!

I’m glad you’re here! I hope you dive into the pages and love what you see. Then, when you do, you see my heart + understand what matters most to me is working with like minded people, people who value realness, and love, and I’ll do whatever I can on my end to make that happen! Have a question? wanna ask if you can have some plant babies?! (I definitely am planning to divide and propagate all my pilea and jade overgrowths!) get in touch, I’d love to chat with you, even if we don’t end up working together.
