“The part of this I love this most is showing people how truly beautiful they are. I love the 'oh wow' moment, when the client starts to relax, smile and enjoy the session.”

Do you take the road less traveled?


If you do, you’re our people, and you’re definitely in the right place!

After all, The moments that are the most fleeting and vulnerable are the ones we cherish the most. These are the moments we capture and give back to you; the ones that tell the story of the connection between you and your partner, your family and your friends.

It's not uncommon for me to show up to your sessions in my Chaco's or hiking boots! Whether it’s climbing cliffs, laying in the dirt or wadding into a roaring river you can bet on receiving photos that are unique to you!

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

Outdoor sessions and cloudy skies are my bread and butter! I love a nice sunny day, however a dark storm rolling in is where I get the best photos! I always recommend sunset sessions but we can work around both our availability.
