I don’t want to photograph people - I want to photograph relationships. I don’t want to film families - I want to film love. My desire is for my work to make people feel something, to let them revisit a moment in life - ten, twenty, or fifty years later. I have a fascination with photographing motherhood - all of it. The pregnancy, the birth, the hours old forehead wrinkles, the toddler neck hugs, the second grade sass, or the wonder and hope of the teenage years. The sacrificial love of a mother (or father) just reminds me so much of our Heavenly Father and is such a beautiful thing. Perhaps I love photographing motherhood because it relates so well to my own life. Just bring me all the babies!

I do not take the opportunity to photograph your family lightly. We get to create your once-in-a-lifetime memories together - how awesome is that?! My style of photography is real, raw, colorful, and photojournalistic. I love close, intimate shots, but also love wide angles and beautiful sceneries. I love how you look at your fiance with the excitement to wed your best friend, and how this deepens after ten years as husband and wife, full of ups and downs and children and moves and love together. My desire is to capture feelings and moments and togetherness in your images, providing you with timeless portraits that will transcend generations.

But wait, there’s more! Falling in love with photography led me to a new love - videography. What do I treasure even more than a beautiful and real photograph? The little smirks, the belly laughs, the unsteadiness of the first steps, the tender and sincere look of adoration and love. The tiny little voices that mature seemingly overnight. I just want to press the save button for you on the most beautiful characteristics of life in a way that a photograph cannot quite grasp. Our home videos are some of our greatest treasures, and I would love to share this gift with your family, too. So, that’s enough about me! Let’s book a session and hang out for real! All I ask is that you come ready to love each other and let me do the rest!
