I'M DRAWN TO
light, color, and reflections—golden hour spilling through a window, a deep green against a white dress, sunlight bouncing off a wall that transforms a space.
MY APPROACH
Documentary at heart. I’ll step in when a little direction is helpful, but most of the time, I’d rather give you the space to be yourselves
Enough about me,
let's talk about you.
I’ve always been a little sentimental about ordinary things.
I was the youngest of three girls, which meant a lot of my childhood was spent watching—my sisters, my family, whatever was happening just beyond me. Somewhere along the way I started recording it. First on home videos, then on a camera I borrowed from my sister in high school and, more or less, never put down.
I still watch those old videos. Nothing remarkable happens in most of them, which is exactly why I love them. A familiar voice. The way our house looked. Someone laughing from another room. Things no one thought to remember.
That’s probably why I photograph weddings the way I do. I’m looking for the beautiful things, of course—but mostly for the things that will mean more later.
