I'm taking a medical leave of absence❤️‍🩹

I’ve been dealing with debilitating and disabling health issues for almost a year now, which has forced me to stop working and close down my business until I can hopefully regain enough health and function to open back up.

I became very suddenly ill and have continued to decline over the past almost year. Doctor and specialist appointments, hospitalizations, testing, bloodwork, scans and other medical appointments have been all-consuming, as has the pain and devastation of losing my health. With the decline of my health I have lost my ability to work, my ability to socialize, my independence, and at times even my ability to walk and talk.

My photography, the creativity I get to practice through it, the beautiful places and moments I get to witness, and most of all the connection I get to build with amazing couples and people means everything to me, so having had to let go of that has been devastating. I hope with my whole heart that I will be able to eventually return.

Thank you to my clients over the past year who have shown immense patience and grace as I have had to cancel sessions and have had extreme delays in communication. Thank you also to my coworkers who have helped step in when necessary to cover sessions and work when I was unable to myself.

Sending so much love and light to every single one of you. I remain hopeful and I hope to be back in this space again one day!

Home has always been the feeling I’ve been able to create with the people closest to me, but this year I moved by myself to a new city and for the first time ever I am living alone. I’ve felt a little homeless.

I’ve been holding on to this feeling and have been sitting with it by myself for a long time. I’ve resisted sharing the full heaviness of it, because I’ve feared that somehow sharing it will make it feel more real and permanent, and I don’t want the feeling or situation to be permanent.

I’ve been waiting to get out the other side, so that my story could be one of victory and overcoming. Of finding true joy on the other side of trial. But I am still not quite there.

Maybe the reality also is that sharing won’t change the situation at all, but it might make me feel a little less alone, or help someone else feel a little less alone.

My story has changed in a way I would have never wished for it to, and I am mourning the life I had, and all the beauty of how I imagined my life would look in the future too. All this while trying to exist in a life that is happening right now. It’s been difficult.

I still very much believe in the beauty and goodness of life and people, and I’ve been able to find glimpses of light peeking through at the times I’ve needed it the very most- light in the form of a person, a kind word, a hug, a feeling. I’ve learned more intimately the beauty of forgiveness and of the importance of love and kindness in everything that we do and say.

I truly do believe that life is most beautiful when you can share it with someone else, and I deeply miss that. I hope I will find and feel that kind of love again someday. In the meantime though, I’ll be trying my best to heal through heartbreak, turn sadness into strength and loneliness into love. (Re)building my home🖤

I never get tired of Paris. Loved getting to shoot at the beautiful Chateau de Champlatreux this week!

There’s something absolutely magical about beach weddings, especially when you’re able to catch the morning or evening glow✨

I share a lot of images taken in big cities, especially Paris and Copenhagen, but I also absolutely love nature.

Cities are where I come alive and feel connected to other people. Nature is where I go to feel connected to myself.

Fluffy florals will forever be a favorite!

After a week in Florida, my heart is so full with inspiration but also heavy with thoughts and emotions. This past week was a paradox of lighthearted laughs and deep soul-crushing emotion.

More than anything, I am grateful to have been reminded of the beauty and complexity of humanity. We all struggle sometimes, feel lost or lonely or question who we are. But we also all experience joy and beauty. I found a lot of connection and comfort in that reminder.

I’ll be slowly sifting through the inspiration, thoughts and emotions of the past week and taking time to reflect. I don’t know where exactly it will take me or my photography, but I feel like I might be on the verge of an enlightenment and I’m bracing myself for the journey.

Thirty, flirty, and thriving✨

Well, at least 30- until the end of the day! Today is my birthday and I am so grateful for exactly where I am and everything that has led me here✨

I’m excited for the upcoming year and to see where it takes me.

Bridal details✨
Photographing a wedding day is really a delicate balance between capturing the small details and telling the full story.
