My dogs, blue & lucy

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!), ready to roll in the grass with your kiddos, and here for the real stuff.

I live in northern Vermont with my husband Sam, our son Henry and our GSP pups Blue and Lucy. 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. 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 client's real, wild love. So, I changed everything.

I slowed down, I paid attention to what my couples and families were doing, saying, and wanting. I built an extremely in-depth getting-to-know-you process so we'd feel like close friends before our session started. I stopped posing clients and, instead, gently guided them to be themselves. I sat back and let real moments unfold and stayed present. Now, I spend more time thinking about how to capture YOUR moment, exactly how it is happening instead of jumping ahead to the next one.

When my family officially grew beyond my husband and pups (read: when I started 3D printing a tiny human) I found a new passion beyond weddings and elopements and started photographing 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.
