We all have our public selves and our at-home selves. The person we are when we’re in public and the person (in my opinion) we really are at home. Where we can relax, where we can let loose, where we feel safe. It’s the at-home personhood that I most love, which is why I adore […]

There is no right way to be a couple, to be a family or to be a human. What matters most is the loving connection people have with each other – and that’s what I want to photograph for all my clients. Those moments in between the staged shots. The not-so-perfect ones that really show […]

You know how people say there’s no right way to be a parent? Well, that wisdom absolutely applies to maternity shoots too because there is no right way to capture the journey you’re on.  But, that being said, I have a suggestion. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to train with a highly regarded underwater […]

Day after sessions are the best because all the wedding day nerves are gone, you’re officially married (still gets me every time!), and you get to just soak in being newlyweds without worrying about timelines or guest lists or – let’s be honest – the weather cooperating. And like many couples before them, Gabriel and […]

Photographing a friend from high school who’s marrying her high school sweetheart is a sickly sweet feeling. I had the dual feeling of being nervous to capture the lives of people I’ve known for such a long time, but also comfortable knowing I had some insider knowledge into Madison and Dylan’s amazing love story. But […]

Rachel and Dave aren’t New York people. Well, Not really. They met in Denver, fell for each other while working together (there may have been some deliberate coffee runs happening), and ended up in New York because that’s where work took them. But they’ve always known they’re woods people at heart – unlike many tried-and-true […]

Alex and Bardo reached out right after getting engaged, and after telling me they were from Cincinnati, I remember thinking – okay, Midwestern couple, probably want something traditional, classic, safe. I was so wrong (and I love being wrong like this). They wanted to get married in Italy. Then they also wanted a second wedding […]

There are so many ways to celebrate your love – a big wedding, a small intimate setting, a sprawling adventure, really whatever you can dream of. The best part to me is that no option is wrong or too out there, everything is perfectly the way it’s supposed to be because it’s centered around something […]

To me, there’s always been something fleeting about an engagement period. You’ve taken the leap (asked or said yes) and suddenly you’re in this liminal hallway of marriage, rushing toward the big day while juggling plans, checklists, and timelines. In the middle of all that, it’s so easy to forget to just stop, stand still, […]

When my good friend Linda first messaged me about doing a boudoir session, she had one specific request – she wanted to shoot somewhere pink. Not just a little pink accent here and there, but full-on, unapologetically PINK. I immediately knew we were going to create something fun, whimsical and a little crazy together because […]
