Jessica and Drew are such good friends of ours and we were honored to photograph their wedding day. Jessica was my first bride to also use my styling and art direction services. It was so much fun to be such a big part of Jess and Drew’s day and really help guide them to find their style and what they love. We started with the engagement session and we found the perfect location and outfits that they felt extremely confident in. We worked together on details for the bridal party and the reception and everything came together so beautifully. Are you looking for this kind of direction for your wedding day?

Julie first contacted me about a family session when her daughter, Lani, was just about a year old. Over the past year and a half, Julie and I have grown a friendship and connected over many things we have in common. I’ve had the privilege of watching their family grow and being there for all the big and small moments. After a few sessions outdoors, we decided on an in-home, lifestyle session for their newborn shoot and it was perfect.

    In first grade, my best friend, Jessica, and I became inseparable. We were definitely our teacher’s pets, would do anything for candy, prided ourselves on never getting in trouble, colored inside every line, and always found ourselves doing something to stretch ourselves creatively. When we were six, it was something simple like playing […]

We spent a great Presidents’ weekend in Arizona. We saw family, friends, and other creatives, ate great food, and of course, shot lots of film. It’s convenient that Michael and I both happen to be from the same state. I’ve always had a deep love for Arizona; I love the desert, the heat, straight roads, monsoons, and […]
