a prophetic prickly pear
I’ve wanted to share a pregnancy -> 1st Birthday for a long time.
Because of the pandemic, I documented a lot more of our lives while Serena was hitching a free ride for 9 months. I even trained my (then) 5 year old the basics of how to use my camera.
If you see my face in a photo, then that shot was captured by Alex, my Elliott, or Emily. <3
Here’s our sweet and rebellious, little homebody’s first act. My sunshine, Serena Rose. Read More
Artist Series: Josh (and his beautiful family)
It’s Valentine’s day, with a Hazel shade of winter.
Josh is a painter, and he admits to being a painter in text, but is hesitant to say it in person.
There is something about legit saying you’re an artist. I think it lies in the spot between self-doubt and humble. A touch of warm natured self-torture? Your guess is as good as mine.
Josh is absolutely a painter, and a really talented one. So here we go: Read More

This is my buddy Drew.
One day while thumbing through books and arguing for the sake of arguing about most things, we land on a killer debate.
Is he a musician?

A free arrow and a stable bow
My girl Meg, the mother, wife, and babe fox in this series is also a fellow creative.
I asked if I could weave deeply personal lessons learned into her family portraits, and she told me to let it rip.
So here is this gorgeous, growing family…aaaand some lessons from my first ego death.
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
