THE JOURNAL

I’ll be out of the office today and through Monday as I head Up North to Crystal Mountain shoot Cassandra & Kraig’s winter wedding!  I’ll be taking my whole crew with me for 4 days of work & fun in the snow.  All calls, inquiries & e-mails will be returned on Monday.  Have a safe […]

Life is messy. We aren’t here to sail right through it without any storms. Without heartbreak. Without soul searching. Without love. My life has been especially messy over the past 15 months.

Although we battled 30mph winds and temps dipping into the 30’s, I absolutely love the colors and mood for Olivia & Rob’s engagement shoot a few weeks ago.  Olivia found […]

In love and in Philly.  That’s all I could think about when I arrived in Philadelphia in late October for Katarina & Corbett’s engagement shoot. It was our first time meeting each other, and I couldn’t think of any location that would have been more fitting. But what I loved the very most is that […]
