Hello and welcome. I'm a lifestyle/editorial photographer now based Grand Forks, North Dakota of all places. After starting my business in Charlotte, NC and bouncing around the Southeast, we are embarking on a new adventure in a a whole new part of the country. My goal is to capture the beauty of life as you know it. My passion is to create images that celebrate life and emotion with a fresh and modern style. I'm happy to share my journey with you here on my site.

Available for travel assignments and adventure, always.
Her personal and professional style are impeccable. Her beauty is equal parts stunning, classic and unique. Needless to say, I was both excited and nervous about capturing the type of images I knew she wanted, but as I was shooting I couldn't help but be a little giddy about what we were collecting with the glow of the evening light. Below is just a taste of the lovely elegance that Kathryn exudes.

Check her design site out here with lots of new exciting updates soon to come!

Fall has arrived. Behold the changing leaves, and enjoy the crisp breeze. Let your eyes take in the bursts of color. Transformation is afoot and hope is in the air.

The time I spent with this sweet family was truly a delight to my soul. Getting to know them, I realized that they are in such a similar stage of life as our little family -  we are both loving it!! Their sweet boy John is just a month older than Charlie and he was SUCH a trooper in the cold, crisp weather, which provided for some awesome snuggles. I feel like these images truly capture the feeling of a fall day and a family simply loving each other.

Yesterday we celebrated 10 months of life for Charlie and I can't hardly believe the transformation of baby to little boy that is happening before my eyes every day. Truly, it's as if he is growing with every blink I make.

Charlie boy - I love you from the depths.

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.
