THE JOURNAL

I ran a little poll yesterday over on Instagram Stories (and hey if you’re not following me over there yet, what ya waiting for?) and I wanted to see if people are still blogging or even struggling to blog. And the response was pretty overwhelming and unanimous. People want to blog.  They just feel UGH when they think about […]

You know what I love about my clients?  They get me. They know I love a good story.  They’ve connected with me through mine, and they know that I’m going to care about theirs.  I mean after all, it’s what I do.  With my camera or with my heart, it’s the stories that keep me […]

Have you ever come home from a shooting a wedding with cards full of incredible images but you’re already overwhelmed with the thought of editing them all? Yes, me too. I’ve been there.

Taking myself back to Darsh & Celeste’s incredible Mill Creek Wilde wedding this past fall brings me back to a day filled with colors, family & culture. It was simply incredible. And I have to be honest in our early conversations, it was the fist time I had actually heard the term “fusion wedding”.  And […]
