I love it when you just connect with a couple. Kim and Patrick and I “met” over the phone because Kim goes to school in Atlanta – so when we showed up for their engagement session, it was the first time we had met. But that didn’t matter – they are so friendly and we […]

Film. A four letter word that has been buzzing around our industry for years now. My journey into the photography world began with film, like a lot of people. And when I went looking for a photography school, I wanted one with film classes. I dreamed of Brooks Institute of Photography. And although I landed […]

In the coming weeks, I’m going to be unveiling my new brand. I honestly thought it was going to be a lot longer and painful process than it has been. I think I based this on a few things – things I’ll get to later – but it has actually been mostly fun! I think […]

Oh dear. It’s beginning. I’ve been casually shopping online for house things. I’m pretty excited to have a space to make our own. Chad and I have been focused on packing so it’s nice to dream of a clean, well put together home with color on the wall. Pinterest has been helpful in finding ideas, […]

Fall 2007. I was shooting random portraits. Asking my friends if they wanted to hang out and take photos. We had fun with it. Climbed trees, had funny poses, tried to be VOGUE. Then I met Jenny, a girl who was looking for a second shooter for her boss. I checked out the Photographer’s website and […]

The power was out all across the region after those storms. I arrived at The Boar’s Head where Sarah would be getting ready and was informed that the Chapel had no power and that there were two trees down blocking the road on the way to King Family Vineyard. But Sarah handled the situation so […]

What a way to begin 2012! A beautiful March wedding in the desert. Luke and Hannah met here just last year and started a relationship that just a few months later led to a family vacation in San Diego, a trip across across country to meet friends, and soon after, an engagement. Luke was in […]
