✨ HER / HERE ✨
I’ve been wanting to create something bigger with my photography. Something meaningful & something that exists beyond a single session or a pretty photograph.
So...I’m starting a new project.
HER / HERE is a long-term photographic project documenting the women who make up our community—their stories, their lives, their experiences, and the places they call home.
I’m looking for women of all ages and all walks of life.
The young woman just beginning her story.
The mother who has spent her life raising a family.
The woman who built a business from the ground up.
The teacher, the artist, the farmer, the nurse, the grandmother.
The woman who has lived here her entire life.
The woman who came here and made it home.
The woman who quietly makes a difference that most people never see.
This isn't about being a model. It isn't about being “photogenic.” And it isn't about perfection.
It's about who you are.
Each woman will be photographed in a place that means something to her and will have the opportunity to share a little of her story.
The goal of this project is to turn these portraits and stories into a photography book—a collection of the women who make this community what it is.
And this is where I need your help.
Who is a woman in our community whose story deserves to be remembered? Start Nominating!!
Nominate your mom.
Your grandmother.
Your best friend.
Your teacher.
Your neighbor.
Your boss.
A woman you've always admired.
Or someone whose story you think more people should know.
You can nominate yourself, too. ❤️
✨Comment her name below, send me a message, or tag her in this post.✨
I don't necessarily want the most famous women or the women who are most comfortable in front of a camera.
I want the women with stories.
Because every woman has a story.
And I want to hear hers.
HER / HERE
50 women. 50 stories. One community.

✨Not every milestone deserves to wait until senior year.✨

Some of the most important years happen right in the middle.

The middle school years can be hard. They’re figuring out who they are. They’re growing into their smiles, their personalities, and their confidence. Some days they feel unstoppable. Other days they don’t want to look in the mirror.

That’s exactly why I love photographing tweens and middle schoolers

I’ve been photographing this sweet family for years now, and every time we get together it feels like catching up with old friends. Watching families grow, kids get taller, and personalities shine brighter each year is one of my favorite parts of this job.

I made the trip up to Chicago for their session, which reminds me of something I get asked all the time…

“Do you travel?”

The answer is YES. Absolutely. And honestly, I love it.

Whether it’s down the road, another city, or across the country, I love getting to photograph families in places that mean something to them. So if you’ve ever wondered if I’d come to you… ask! Chances are, I’ll happily pack my camera and hit the road.

Thank you to this amazing family for trusting me year after year. It never gets old. 🤍
