The JOURNAL

Tonight I got to hang out with John and Liz and shoot them some sweet engagement shots. I had so much fun. Aaaand I can’t wait to show you more…

Shooting weddings is fun. That’s all there is to it. Waking up with the anticipation of a great wedding day is like drugs for me…. and I can’t get enough! That’s why I jump on any opportunity I can to shoot a wedding… whether it’s my own clients I’m shooting for, or helping another photographer… […]

I never considered myself “fashionable”. I was a jock-ette in high school… which meant I always had a game or a swim meet and had to wear team shirts and sweats etc. After high school, I worked at an Aquatics Center where I constantly had to battle wet hair and smelling like a pool. Then, […]

It’s not often that I’m asked to shoot subjects other than grown-ups… and it takes a change of gears for me, but I love being challenged. A friend of mine, Allison, gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy earlier this year and now that they’ve settled into each other, she asked me come […]

Two of my very good friends got married yesterday. After taking the morning to rest, I’m looking through all the images from yesterday and I have tears in my eyes. I had a conversation with Alissa’s mom yesterday about weddings… about how my job is to document love…. and how I couldn’t wish for a […]

I love pictures. I love pictures of couples, to be more precise. I know that you love pictures too. But what happens after you get that disc of images you ordered from your photographer? They’re great pictures of you and that special someone, but what do you do with them? After a year of giving […]
