Composed & Exposed Photography

Composed & Exposed Photography Specializing in capturing candid moments and creating memories. Thank you for visiting my page! Let's be honest, they're a ton of photographers in the area.

Most are wonderful and amazingly talented. So thank you for taking the time to see what my sessions are all about. Beautiful pictures of the family looking at the camera are a must, but they are not what I focus on. I of course do these shots. However, I focus on candids, natural smiles, and emotion. I believe that natural laughter and smiles are more compelling than strict posing and forced smile

s. I always try to make sessions a fun experience and not a chore for kids. If everyone is having fun then you are guaranteed great photos. Let's chat. Send me a message to book. :)

It’s been a busy summer, and I know I haven’t been posting here as much lately.

Behind the scenes, life has been changing in some pretty big ways. Daniel Weese and I purchased our first home, and we’re also getting ready to welcome our baby girl this December. 🤍

Needless to say, between moving, preparing for this next chapter, photographing so many of your milestones, and trying to soak in a few of our own, social media has taken a bit of a back seat.

Owning a photography business has always meant getting to document some of the biggest moments in other people’s lives, and it feels a little surreal to be living through so many of our own at once.

I’m incredibly grateful for every client who has continued to support me through this season, and I’m so excited for everything ahead, both personally and creatively.

Our best mix is getting a brand-new track.

Baby girl arriving December 18, 2026. 💗

Happy Father's Day to every dad, grandpa, and father figure out there. 🤍
I've spent years photographing the way kids look at their dads. The piggyback rides. The way a toddler's whole face lights up the second he walks in the room. The quiet hugs nobody had to ask for.
Those moments don't last forever, but the photos do. They're the ones that end up framed on the wall, the ones you catch yourself smiling at years later.
Thank you for all you do, today and every day.

Galleries are out, bags are packed, and I am SO ready for this. Japan, here I come! 🇯🇵✈️
I'll be away for a bit, but I'll be soaking in every single moment and can't wait to bring these images back to share with you.
If you need to reach me while I'm away, email is the best way to get in touch. I'll do my best to respond, though it may take me a little longer than usual. Thank you for your patience and your continued support. It means more than you know!
