A trend I’m seeing a lot in the past few years is families booking extended family sessions. Many times, the last portrait you have of your entire family is from a wedding. This family shared that same story and they decided to change that while enjoying a beautiful day together in Tahoe. Including extended family […]

  The winter “off season” means a slowed pace and more time for exploring. This place, Lake Tahoe, is one of the most photographed locations on the planet for a reason. That’s a made up claim – I’m simply going by the amount of people pulled over taking pictures any time I’m driving. There are a lot!  […]

  ShowIt has been my website platform for nearly two years and have absolutely loved how I’m able to display not only my portfolio, but my personality through the design features. Brides and moms don’t have forever to shop for a photographer and allowing them to get a sense of my style and my self […]

The ultimate date, or so it should be treated! Engagement sessions can be one of the most fun parts of the wedding planning process, finally gradating you both from all the selfies that fill your frames. If you’ve decided this is for you, have a peek at the following tips to show up, slay it, […]

  This week I’m dusting off the archives! Some wedding seasons of the past just got too busy that I only blogged a sneak peek and the full post never happened. So, I’m changing that since these weddings deserve to have their moment! This is the wedding of Marius and Jackie in beautiful Blairsden, CA- […]

If this session doesn’t make you smile, you need to go do some soul searching. When I arrive to a newborn shoot, there are a few loose plans but really, I like to let things just happen. This was a slam dunk example of how letting big sister do her thing and jump in when […]

  I’m back in New Hope, Pennsylvania currently and love my extended visits back here! When I was in high school, a dear friend lived at Holly Hedge Estate. We all knew it was a special place, but as an adult coming back and photographing an event here, it really sunk in just how remarkable […]
