A few weeks ago, I asked my good friend Charlie to offer insight as to why he prefers shooting with prime lenses as well as offered tips in doing so. Well, I’m happy to say he’s back this week to chat about the glamorous world of memory cards. The first time I heard him explain […]

I sat with Melanie in the corner of a dark restaurant. So much has changed in the course of our 15-year friendship, yet nothing has. She’s still animated and slightly dramatic, and I still make fun of her and ask inappropriate questions. We met freshman year of high school and have been together through every […]

She was 19 years old and he was in the Armed Forces when they married. Young, full of life, and fully unprepared for what life would toss their way, Karen and Isaac married ten years ago only to later realize Happily Ever After does exist. The trick is to find the right person. Lucky for […]

One of the highlights of what I do is the ability to meet many people and document their lives. How we find each other always amazes me and I have the web to thank for much of it. Such was the case with Michelle and Brady. Sorta. The Glass Slipper Guild, an amazing organization hoping […]

I didn’t know how to write this post. I don’t know how to write this post. Most of time I write a story about the person I’m photographing from an outsider’s perspective, but Grace didn’t let me. Every time I asked her questions to help me later write a blog post, she deflected. It’s your […]

I work hard at being honest on the blog. But sometimes it gets difficult because, well, honesty is revealing. And who likes to be revealed? I mean, I’d love to jump out of a tiered birthday cake as much as anyone, but other than that, being revealed is awkward. Wait, what? You don’t wanna jump […]

Every so often I get the pleasure of documenting my clients in a deeper and more intimate capacity. During these times, I’m extraordinarily thankful to be invited into their private worlds to capture more of who they are. A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of joining my client, Erica, for her boudoir session […]

I’ll never forget the first time we met. We’d been emailing for a couple weeks, but when Janelle decided to meet me in regard to booking me as her wedding photographer, I was excited. We met at a Starbucks not too far from where I worked (I worked part-time when I first started the business) […]

What it felt like was a really weird version of high school. Alright, alright. It was JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Complete in its awkward glory and social cliques. But I knew SXSW was going to be like that. I was prepared and I was actually excited to get lost in the mass. Until, that is, I […]

We sat around their table with the soft sunset light streaming though their windows and snacked on the appetizers. We’re all loud, but, collectively, it’s as if we’re tone deaf, each outdoing the other in a higher decibel. Jenny provided an amazing spread of food and with each bite I fell into a delectable bliss.
