I’ve listened to Ludovico Einaudi’s Maria Callas hundreds of times. But how I hear it changes depending on the state of my mental health, what’s been on my mind lately, and how reflective I’m feeling.

Today while listening to it, I was overcome with a deep wave of nostalgia. Not for the loss of what once was, but for the frequency at which things change, and my inability to hold it all at one time (even though I know I’m not supposed to). And no matter how much I try to be present, my mind always seems to drift.

It’s an interesting paradox: the frantic pace of trying to raise (and keep up with) young kids during the busiest season in my business, sitting right alongside a yearning for stillness and individual identity.

I’ve been told my work has a sense of calmness to it. And I think unintentionally, I’m drawn to creating images that feel quiet and intimate because it’s my way of taking a visual deep breath. A way of clearing out room where the noise in my head finally has a chance to dissipate, and a practice of finding my way through.

I spend a lot of time watching how people take up space together.

Some need to be physically anchored, hands always finding each other, while others take comfort in simply standing near each other, content with shared glances.

There’s a certain pressure on a wedding day to perform your love; to show everyone in the room exactly how you feel for one another (like it wasn’t obvious enough…). But real chemistry is rarely loud. It’s the quiet weight of being entirely present with someone else, and the confidence in knowing you don’t have to prove a thing.

I love watching couples finally lean into whatever their specific version of that is. The kind of intimacy that doesn’t need to announce itself.

A sudden, visible softening the moment they can simply be.

I’m a details girl through-and-through. I love honing in on those nuances, and seeing how they shape the entire vision.

These are only a few details that quietly contribute to how a wedding day will feel. What else would you add to the list?

Soon after we learn to see, we learn we can also be seen.

That awareness changes something.

It’s part of why being photographed can feel strange at first, even performative. You’re not just looking anymore; you’re being looked at.

But once the day settles into itself, and there’s room to breathe, most people stop noticing the camera.

The photos aren’t in the choreography of the day, but in that intimate, mutual noticing.

Recently, one of my couples spent their morning on a boat before sunrise. Just the two of them, coffee in hand, with no one else around (except me, casually third-wheeling).

They wanted to go into their wedding day feeling grounded. But it also did something else: it allowed them to go into their wedding without the pressure to fit it all into 1 day. They weren’t scrambling to find a quiet moment between the ceremony and the reception, because they’d already had one, days before, on their own terms.

I think we’ve built this idea that a wedding has to hold all of these different stories in one day. The romantic couples portraits, the candid family moments, the friendships, all of it.

But it isn’t the only way to do it.
