Backwoods Photography

I've realized over the years that what I really do has very little to do with getting people to smile at a camera.

Most people walk into a photoshoot nervous.
They're worried about what to wear, how they look, whether their husband will cooperate, whether the kids are going to melt down, whether they're photogenic.

So a huge part of my job is creating an environment where people stop thinking about themselves so much.

That's where the good stuff happens.

The photos I create are polished and intentional, yes.

But I also want them to feel like you. Your family.

Your relationships. Your actual personality.

Not overly posed.

Not fake.

Not trying too hard.

Just really beautiful documentation of this season of life before it changes again.

Because sometimes the most beautiful part of the game is the little one growing behind the scenes.

Also found out a few days after the session they are welcoming a sweet baby BOY! 💙

Some lives are not measured by years, but the love they leave behind.

Sometimes it's like a game of guess who!

In all honesty, I know what my clients look like prior to a session... But do you know how confusing it gets when your in a public place, it's busy, and there are thirty other photographers walking around. I have waved to the wrong people WAY too many times over the years, thought they were my clients and they weren't, l've sat and studied profile pictures from social media, and sat in my car watching like a hawk.

On the flip side l've also had other photographers clients think I was their photographer.

If you need a last minute photographer for family, milestones, newborns weddings you name it!
and you are available on any of my remaining dates for 2026, I am discounting my prices very generously!

For more information please send me a direct message. I’d love to hear from you and get you on my schedule! 🥰

No one tells you how quickly dogs age. How one day you wake up and suddenly their face is all white, how their eyes start to seem more milky than before, how you have to call their name a few more times than you used to.

People tell you not to blink when you have children, but what about the dog who was with you before your children were even thought of? The dog who was by your side before you found the love of your life, the dog who jumped from house to house in your early 20's. No one tell's you to cherish every moment you have with them.

Cherish the dog.

The one who's been there through the break ups and every dumb fight with your best friend. That dog who slept in the bed with you when you were lonely and made you feel safe when you left home. Cherish him/her because one day you'll take them on a walk and they’ll start to get tired before you and you'll realize just how many years they’ve been walking by your side.

Find someone like this.

Find somebody who is willing to fix their mistakes when they are in the wrong.

Find someone who knows that date nights are mandatory.

Find someone who never punishes you for the mistakes made by the ones behind you.

Find someone who you have amazing chemistry with.

Find someone who is willing to graduate to a real lasting love with you.

Find someone who is willing to navigate the ship of life together.

Find someone who knows that not a single person on the face of this earth sits high enough to look down on anyone.

Find someone who doesn't make you fall for them without intending to catch you.

Find someone who would rather spend a Sunday morning with you, rather than a Saturday night.

Find somebody who's quick to put their ego aside, and are willing to listen and grow with you with every day that passes.

Find someone who chases you .... long after they already have you.

Find someone who will never let you fall asleep at night wondering if you still matter.

Find someone who makes a reservation at your favorite restaurant unannounced.

Find someone who has genuine intentions with you from the very beginning.

Take my advice and .... find someone real enough to treat you .... like they can never replace you.
