Here’s where to find me!

FOUR YEARS. I really need to stop saying outloud FOUR YEARS.

I really need to stop saying outloud that i 'thrive in chaos'. Turns out i adapt pretty well to it but thriving maybe is a little much. Year one was a worldwide pandemic, move, business rebirth, pregnancy. Year two we had a couple of job changes, another pregnancy, and a booming business. Year three business went wild in the best ways, we balanced Nick being more at home so that I could manage the rising demand of what I'd been able to build it to. Year four we were ready for just a moment to breathe. So for year four we obviously welcomed a third pregnancy & an un-welcomed tumor.

We haven't, admittedly, always been the best communicators. We're wildly different. Which we've always loved and butt heads over. We came from different upbringings. Different traumas. Different things we brought into our marriage & are always navigating our way through them. Sometimes steps back. Sometimes steps forward. But to be here. Amidst the true and trying absolute chaos we've endured together over the last 4 years married & 5.5 years together truly is a testament. 

Of our richest moments & moments of scarcity. For our better days and our absolute worst. Having--or i like to say GETTING to be interwoven forever & holding---or grabbing booty cheek as the other runs up the stair case. & more than any tried and lived test of through sickness beyond our understanding and the health of ourselves, our children here, & our child being grown--we're not perfect & we have SO much to consistently do. But we're here. & we're committed. I'm not the greatest at words of affirmation but I vow to work to be better these coming days & year before us. I don’t want any of it—if it ain’t with you. 

Happy Four Years

Limited timeframes on your wedding day doesn’t h Limited timeframes on your wedding day doesn’t have to limit you story told. To be honest sometimes it makes for more opportunity for them to be unraveled. 

When there’s not a preconceived belief that your wedding day has to be the way you’ve been told all your life or by a never-ending scroll of Pinterest boards—you breathe long enough to let reality come through. Let the small moments be the big ones. 

As much as I love the chaos & wildness of full wedding days I’m really really looking forward to more of these wedding days that are short on time but so much room for possibility. 

Also. I just can’t with how stupid pretty @alanamyrlie is.
Little by little I find myself closer to where I w Little by little I find myself closer to where I want to be. My adhd has always led me into  the direction of change. My hyperfixation allowed me to stay in that change with room to thrive and grow in that season.

& then the absolute near physical anxiety I feel when I know I need change and at first don’t always know how to articulate it—even to myself.

With my mind & life so busy and loud this year—shouting it’s focus in this season has truly been really difficult for me when I’ve felt this very physical reality of knowing I am on the cusp of a metamorphosis.

My mind over and over again saying "are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

Not yet,

But we’re on our way.
Thursday was the perfect day— What started as a Thursday was the perfect day—

What started as a beautiful courthouse & maybe their favorite pizza place—elopement inquiry 

Turned into a full day, in their backyard, no shoes for me, avocado toast, professional cellist duo performing, tear-filled 14-person guest list—intimate & stunning wedding day.

Slow

Steady

Personal

 them-in-every-way

Most perfect days. I hope fo more wedding experiences like this. There but removed. 

Merely,

existing in your space.
Last year I did a couples-search for a couple that Last year I did a couples-search for a couple that would be down to allow my creative freedom to flourish, to allow themselves to step out of what is the feeling of expectation in front of a camera, & truly to allow themselves to be vulnerable.

In that shoot we started off with an ice cream date away from their three magical kids & just enjoyed the playfulness. Which turned into a little bit of after a decade of marriage & three children—spicy lake session. Neither of them are people who spend lots of time getting their photos taken & i had done that type of session once before with still a real couple but ones who were also photographers & who had modeled for other photographers countless times. 

As much as I still adore those photos I wanted absolute ground zero. I wanted the trust of people who may find photos in general a little intimidating. The ability to let go & just be with one another & trust me in the process. In this specific set I’m posting now these are the few moments during their family session that we let the kids play & just got a few moments of intimacy. Every connection I get to make between them & SEE between them is an honor♥️
