(10)

Photography has been a hobby of mine for as long as I can remember, but my passion really took off when I my daughter came along. Capturing the pure and candid moments of her childhood has become one of my greatest joys, and nothing makes my heart happier than capturing those same moments for other families.

Mission: I am a storyteller. This is my goal every time I pick up my camera, whether I'm photographing my own family or yours: to capture beautiful moments, strong connections, captivating stories, and powerful emotions- the good and the bad.

Mood.

How is everyone holding up? My family and I are healthy, but we are taking this social distancing thing seriously. I've postponed all my sessions for the next month at least, so for the next several weeks I'll be sharing some of my favorite photos from past sessions.

If you follow along here or on my page, you may have seen my monthly recaps over the past few years. Last summer I attempted to take one photo a day and post a weekly update; as you can imagine, that didn’t last long. This year, I thought I would try the complete opposite: one very long, ...

Watch Me Edit!

Julie, here's sneak peak #2 for you! I thought I would share a little behind the scenes video of how I edit- I always enjoy seeing how things are made, so I though some of you might as well! Also, please excuse the audio, I'm not sure why it was cutting in and out. Marti

“We owe it to each other to tell stories.”

I am a storyteller. Each person, each family has a unique story, and through my lens I strive to tell yours. The way your newborn curls into your chest. The way your little one holds your fingers as they're learning to walk. The way you and your partner look into each other's eyes and smile at a joke only the two of you are privy to. The way your eyes light up when you watch your children playing. The way your children run to you when they're scared, or excited, or hurt. These are the little moments worth remembering, the little moments your children deserve to have physical reminders of. The moments you deserve to experience fully. Step out from behind your camera and let me do the documenting.

This is my goal every time I pick up my camera, whether I'm photographing my own family or yours: to capture beautiful moments, strong connections, captivating stories, and powerful emotions- the good and the bad.

To document your story.
