My dog, blue

I capture your story, real moments, adventures, and everyday love affairs. I don't do things in halves. If we decide we're the perfect fit, I'm all in, down for the hike, up for a dance (mojito in hand!), and here for the real stuff.

We live in northern Vermont with our GSP pup Blue and we LOVE getting outside into the mountains and onto the lake. Sam is a maker, artist & YouTuber so we always have tons of house and DIY projects going on over here. 

Together, he and I are a beautiful contradiction between loving the speed of life and basking in the slower moments (there are so few of the these days, right?).

That is one of the reasons I fell in love with photography so quickly when I first picked up a camera. It helps us slow down, connect with each other and can pull us back into deep experiences and emotions that would otherwise fade into another blurry memory.

If I REALLY wanted to have a go at this whole photography thing, I would have to MAKE the time... So I did! Life threw the opportunity at me (it has a way of doing that if you're open to listening), I started working with an AMAZING photography mentor and spending hours behind a lens.

... and I haven't "wanted to be a photographer ever since I can remember." My passion for photography developed (a bit) later in my life and since then, I would consider it quite the obsession. For a long time, photography was my "if I had two more hours in the day" thing.

I was drawn to creative, stylistic, intimate shots but wasn't seeing that reflected in my work. I looked back and saw myself in photos, not my couple's real, wild love. So, I changed everything.

I slowed down, I paid attention to what my couples were doing, saying, and wanting. I stopped posing clients and, instead, gently guided them to be themselves. I sat back and let real moments unfold, stayed present and spent more time thinking about how to capture THEIR moment, exactly how it was happening instead of jumping ahead to the next one.

When my family officially grew beyond Sam, Blue, and I (read: when I started growing a tiny human) I found a new passion beyond elopements and started shooting more mamas, mamas-to-be, newborns and family sessions.

The farther along in my pregnancy I got, the more I realized how fleeting these moments are and how important it is to document them in a real, raw way. So, I pulled the same shooting philosophy into maternity, newborn and family sessions and never looked back.
