Winter Mini Sessions | Pine Hill Farms

We had a lovely winter day surrounded by pine trees, celebrating first birthdays, engagements and the holidays. A wonderful way to spend my Sunday.

I also shared some of the ways I enjoy learning, and some of the knowledge I have acquired as a result. Buuuuut focus on the photos <3 Read More

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


Autumn Mini Sessions | Soergel Orchards

Family portraits have become my favorite part of my career. It’s your kids. They’re that cool. 

They are also funnier than most adults, more open to being thrown into the air, and they really appreciate the value of an M&M. Read More


Summer Highlight Reel

It was a great summer of portrait sessions, with friends from literally all chapters of my life. You just really have no idea when you befriend someone in 6th grade that you will photograph their family of five.

Or that buddy in college that you enjoy irritating people with, who’s got cupcakes and beer? Yeah, he will marry a beautiful woman and have twin daughters.

Life is cool. Read More


My Recipe

I accidentally processed an anxiety attack as it was starting.

This changed my life, so I’m sharing my experience.

I have no idea if this would work for anyone else on the planet, so don’t hold me to it. Just like, read and decide what’s useful and leave the rest. Read More


A Sunday Morning Session

A Wolf in (Boys) Clothing

I realized from a young age that the boys had more fun. They had more power, more independence.

They were allowed to be dirty, too loud, too fast. Wild. 

I also realized I was meant to be wild, and that this was going to be an issue. Read More
