The beginning of LOVE is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.

Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

WIFE, MOTHER, PHOTOGRAPHER
& ENTREPRENEUR

I’m blessed enough to be living out my own love story in my hometown in Eastern Oregon. My husband and two crazy-incredible children spend their days on our ranch located in the foothills of the gorgeous Blue Mountains. We are surrounded by God's beauty everyday, which provides us with an unlimited source of adventures and creative inspiration.

What began as a hobby of taking photos of my babies has become one of my greatest passions. God gave me the gift of connecting with people on a personal level which makes them feel comfortable, equating to capturing each one in a real sense. When asked why I do this ~ I really don't have an answer, it is simply who I am.

I am magnetically drawn to those who value hard work, grand adventures, responsibility and exude kindness. I equally adore the all-American love story and the unlikely romance and without meaning to, my heart spills into every moment I capture.

I love learning the story of each couple I work with, the steps of their journey and ultimately becoming a small part of their history.  In fact, if I'm being honest . . . I still cry at every single wedding ceremony to this day. Ugh! What is that!? 

Although, I always hope when couples come across my website they feel instantly comfortable, connected and that they can't wait to start this incredible experience with me, I know it is as equally important we both feel this same connection in the real world. This is why I would love to meet with you through Skype, over a cup of coffee or a phone consult. We can chat about all the details and plans of your upcoming wedding day or if you are just beginning the process I'd be happy to give you a few tips and tricks I've learned along the way . . . or dogs, we can always talk about dogs. 

There is one thing for sure - taking a picture makes a moment last forever. And with me, my hope is you'll have a lifetime to draw from.
