2023

So this is the first photo blog I have published in years.Since 2017, I do believe. I took a step back from photography for a bit. I had a lot going on, and I decided it was necessary. I look back and see the momentum that I had, and that “what if” question pops intoContinue reading “2023”

Revisiting my old work

I decided to visit my Flickr account today.  I truly need to make that a more frequent thing than what it is. I do love going back and seeing my work, the good and the bad. I like seeing the growth, and also in some ways how I have slipped. I love how raw someContinue reading “Revisiting my old work”

Allison and Andrew

There is absolutely nothing better than seeing two people in love. I love engagement sessions for that reason. I love the energy from the couples that I photograph at the beginning of their journey towards forever. Allison and Andrew are a prime example of that.

Jamie is the owner of Deux Cheeks eyewear, where she meticulously hand embellishes each pair of designer glasses. This shoot is forContinue reading “Jamie – Deux Cheeks”
