Hello dearies
photographer & storyteller

I was not the kid with a camera always in hand; in fact, most signs pointed to being a writer (although my plan was always tiger trainer in Australia).
For me, all of those involve storytelling and educating.
I am a committed consumer of coffee and a coffee shop critic. I love to devour a good book, usually a YA fantasy novel–I espeically love a good Fairy Tale re-telling. When not working on photography, I’m probably baking (especially if it’s raining), chasing after my kiddos, watching a food show with my husband, or avoiding my manuscript.

Brunch
fresh juices, all the savory & sweet dishes
ninety percent of my restaurant recommendations are for brunch places, and ninety percent of the time, brunch is what I want to eat. The ten percent is Thai food.
Going on Adventures
A trip across Texas, or jaunt through Europe
Travel is a bug and I caught it. I went from having visited 8 states and never been on a plane, to living in France and visiting 9 countries.
A peppermint vanilla latte
from a local coffee shop, or my house
I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 5, if that doesn’t explain my personality–and being the baby of 5 kids, I don’t know what does.
Old books
I love finding an old hardback at a used bookstore
Do I feel a bit silly collecting books I’ll never read? Yes. Will I stop? No.

Meet my other half
Colton
He’s my heavy lifter, eye candy, and second shooter! When he’s not backing me up on wedding days and being a professional veil tosser, you can find Colton knee-deep in wetlands, wrestling with our sons, geeking out over theology, or bringing me another hot beverage.
