taking care of what really matters: 

People, plane tickets, and projects :) 

The REAL deal! Weddings are not a production, family photos are not only plastered on smiles, and none of your days should be orchestrated... Only the Real Deal.

Where I feel right at home:

Real and open convos
THE MOUNTAINS BABY
My old home full of antiques
Carefree and adventurous wedding days
My garden and my yellow kitchen
A crowded dining table
Wherever old tunes play

I look at my service to you as an experience. My biggest goal is for you to be comfortable and at ease from inquiry to gallery delivery. I want you to feel like you are just hanging out together with a dork (me) tagging along telling you to do goofy things. You will leave feeling understood and like you gained a friend! There is no step of the way I won’t be there for you!

I am fueled by simple joys! Light coming through the window, the warmth of a fireplace, opening a silly little piece of mail, and a random “checking in” text. The way your heart sings at the top of a mountain, a compliment to a stranger, an afternoon in my flower garden, or an unexpected thrift find! 

I often feel a deep deep appreciation for simplicity- the little things are big for me! Which is just how I want my photos to feel! A subtle glance or a hand hold in between poses are the pieces of your story that will never be overlooked over here.
