Toni Braxton | You’re Makin’ Me High
I am so proud of these.
This goddess gave me the green light to share my favorites from her intimate portrait session. Read More
Cherry Valance
The progressive evolution of our marriage, and my unrelenting hunger for knowledge.
My words are paired with rainy photos taken of Alex and I last spring in West Virginia.
All portraits are taken by the incredibly talented Dana Ratica. Read More
the oak tree and the cypress grow
I flew into Phoenix, and floored it to the Grand Canyon just in time for sunset. Once the sun checked out, I continued north towards Utah.
I had the (almost) full moon shining through the pines to my left and small controlled fires to my right.
I will never forget this life changing 30 minutes. I was exhausted and starving, but so freaking happy. And that set the tempo for the entire trip. Read More
the way and the wayfarers
I’ve been drawn to Joshua Tree for a long time.
In truth, I’m still seeking my Dad as a person, to his soul.
I lost him just as he started showing me his secret files. You know, the good stories, the trouble, the “Don’t tell Mom I told you this.” Frankly, I was also starting to show him my cards. I was finally getting honest advice because I started to include the details.
It became clear I’m like him, from mischief to music, our coffee and height. So to know more about him is to know more about myself. Read More

This time, we finally hit Leavenworth. Read More
Post-Apocalyptic / Spring 2021 Mini Sessions

I missed this so much.
(and honestly, that kinda surprised me.)
Alice Ayresona
I love my family. So much, that after being stuck in a house together for almost a year and half, booked a flight to Phoenix, and spent 4 days in a casita by myself.
Of Dogtown
Alex and I have been married for 8 years and I basically just figured out that I know nothing about him.
And while I was clearly not asking the right questions, I was also not telling him what I wanted.
With a revelation like that, a weekend out of town sans youths was a solid idea.
Amish Paradise
Tattoos.
I didn’t even have one until I was in my 30’s, and it wasn’t even a midlife crisis.
It just took me that long to figure out what I want. And if that’s not a effing metaphor for my entire existence…
