Love stories? Here's mine!

My style behind the lens: Whether I'm looking for bugs with your kiddos, snuggling your newborn while you change outfits, or exploring Vermont nature with you and your love, your session will feel fun, effortless, and like you're hanging with a friend.

My style behind the books: When I'm not taking your picture,

I describe my style as, "a little grain, a little pop of color, a lot of wild love."

As you explore, ask yourself "can I see myself in these images?"
