JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING…

I’m inspired by people.  People are wonderful and hilarious and interesting. Those nuances that are so beautifully unique to individuals.  How we interact with our ever changing environments and with each other.  It all gets me really jazzed.

The same goes for what inspires me to take photographs.  I get a little thrill in my guts when I see something honest happening in front of my lens and I get to document it.

Boudoir has become so special to me over the years. As a woman that has gone through divorce, spent years alone learning to love myself again, accidentally finding love again, giving birth to my daughter at 42, breastfeeding until 45, and watching this old bod do her thang…. I am helplessly IN LOVE with how unbelievable women are - our power, endurance, and grit truly floors me! Boudoir is just a little window into heartbreakingly beautiful lives we are all battling our way through. I am totally inspired by all the perfect messes!

Also, I’m inspired by the emotion and action of love.  All types.  Witnessing two individuals celebrate their love and their story will never get old. What can I say, I’m a mush. Let me photograph your Elopement, ok?

More stuff about me: I learned to surf last summer and can’t understand how it’s taken me so long?! And I learned how to ski this winter and guess what? I can’t understand how it’s taken me so long!!!! I love bad jokes, laughter, quirks, adventure, back tickles, bare feet, learning, peanut butter, and puzzling.  To name a few. Life is mostly really great! My absolute favorite person in the whole world is my daughter. She’s a walking miracle who has lit up my world.

I’m always available for questions or to get together for a beer and a chat.  I’d love to hear about you and your story.  

"I've changed my mind about heaven..." "What would it be?" she whispered.  "This.  A blanket. A bed.  You."
