Every person has their own unique quirks and when two like-hearted souls come together, those fun, intimate details help tell their love story - my husband and I are of no exception!

​

Ours began one Friday evening after I had recently moved to town and landed a job just off Post as a waitress - his waitress! In spite of some serious personal embarrassments, bunches of nervous laughter from us both, and insert-foot moments, we exchanged numbers by the end of the night. 

​

Since that Spring evening in 2006, we have moved across the country and half way back, settling roots down in this Midwest City of Fountains we now call home with our two rambunctious sons. Our little family has grown even more courtesy of puppies, kitties, a dragon, and an aquarium setup bigger than my dream closet! It's a bit of an organized chaos and I love every minute of it!

​

Through the years and many miles, I have maintained my affinity for Italian lace cookies, candles, leopard print, and cotton candy sunset skies. I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic, a dreamer, and a Devoted Keeper of Secrets. I burn some grilled cheese sandwiches but can run a 9-ball table (tip-toe style required for me to reach, though). I enjoy reading some Carlton, Tessier, Yarros, Cate, St. Clair, and Armentrout, and more, while maintaining my position to neither confirm nor deny the occasional drop of a particularly versatile 4-letter word every now and again.

 

That said, I'm a firm believer in the approach with both my personal and professional life that: "if it's important to you - it's important to me" and in light of that I move forward accordingly, maintaining the ability to handle things strategically. When I invest my energy I do so, fully.

​

It's that same sentiment that allows me to focus on how to better serve and help my Clients + Couples beyond my craft of Photography over the years. This leads me to also offer Coordination and Consulting services which will alleviate some of the stresses that can easily come with the hearty undertaking of coordinating and polishing those details for sessions and a variety of events - especially your wedding! As well, I also serve the creative needs of my fellow Wedding professionals as an ardent advocate for Community over competition within the industry, proudly serving as the lead host of PHOTOSOCIAL: A Creative Community Collaborative.

 

So if you're down for a chat over iced coffees sprinkled with occasional references from HAMILTON (big fan!) contact me today and let's get to making some beautiful creative visions come to life!
