Read Morewe hung out for a bit at a nature preserve while i snapped a few images with this multigenerational family session. i always tell people to bring their parents and extended family to sessions if they want to. i price my photography services by hour, meaning youβre buying my time and we can co-create whatever we want during that time.

Read MoreYellow is my color. Itβs solar plexus chakra activated. Itβs stepping into my power. I took the opportunity to use the florals to play and profesh.

He just finished changing my oil so I can drive safely to a wedding this weekend. Acts of service is my love language (incoming). Anyway. Too many to narrow down as usual. Always accepting constructive feedback.

Read MoreItβs pretty interesting to look back at old work, this wedding was shot with PMA Photography back in February of 2019. I love these images but the editing is less than desirable, at least for most, I donβt mean to be so critical of my work but I guess what Iβm trying to say is that we just keep getting better and better each time we do something.
Read MoreI love witnessing wedding days (or being a wedding day stalker as I say). I love hanging out with the bride and groom all day. I love hearing the stories the parents tell with toasts. I love when the best man makes everyone blush on the dance floor. I love being a contributor to the whole ceremony and working with all the vendors to make it come together.
