my way

I am deeply invested in the things that make us, us. I love the small things we do or enjoy daily that define us. I love the stars, the sound of the aspen trees when the wind breathes by them, the silence of the night. I live for the moments when my toddler holds my finger, snuggles me for comfort, the way we laugh at all the nothings of life, how my youngest can’t smile on demand, or how my oldest poses for each picture. I breathe for the funny faces we make with each other during the prayer and the simple conversations of deep curiosity and wonder. I live to hear the knock-knock jokes that don't make sense and the quiet "I love you" through hugging arms.

I'm most interested in what this looks like for each couple, family, and person--the simple things. For those things ultimately tell our stories.

I want to capture your simple things. All the things that make you who you are as a couple, the love you share as a family, the connection that keeps you together. I'm not interested in just the perfectly posed photos , but the moments that truly define you, your story, and your life in all its perfectly imperfect glory. The wild, the brilliant, the special things that make your love spin and your life full. I want you to remember this moment in your life exactly how it is because that is worth being documented and held onto for all the beauty and possibility it carries. It’s real, it’s tangible, and you’re right, it’s not like the movies. In fact, it’s far better than that. In the words of Charles Lamb, “Let us live for the beauty of our own reality.”
