I started my photography journey in 2008, right after I married Marty (my college sweetheart!). I loved watching our wedding photographer and what she accomplished with our own wedding photos, and I wanted to learn how to capture that same feeling for someone else. Photography and I fell in love.
Check out my blog and my Instagram feed - you'll find posts with photos of blushing, beautiful brides and exquisite wedding-day details... right next to posts with photos of sticky-faced kids, or my overgrown garden, or our rain boots on a sloppy day. Personal and professional run together, lines are blurred, and the result? Clients who know us really well, and trust who we are, as people and as photographers.

Marty is my second shooter (and my husband!). I typically take life a bit too seriously, but lucky for me, Marty is Mr. Free-spirit Man. He's a little crazy, and I really like him. You'll like him, too.
