The sweetest of all connections…

There’s a sense of freedom in knowing I have the tools to create art that satisfies my soul. That can tell the story of a year. Of moving boxes and mossy trails and sippy cups that are now outgrown. It’s a gift to my husband, my children, to future generations, and to me. And although I […]

Two years ago I jumped fully, heart first, into this journey which allows me to share what I see. I had an unclear direction, and my vision is still a bit blurred. I’ve let the tide guide me, and every time its human connections that move me. Bride and groom. Mother and daughter. Sister and […]

High school sweethearts…soon to be husband and wife. They wandered the lush green setting of Burfoot Park for a laid-back engagement session. It was perfect for these two, who call the northwest their home. Cool air and early golden light added to the magic that’s held in these woods.

Tradition. Tranquility. Celebration. From a Catholic Mass, to champagne in the sun drenched woods, and then a vibrant fiesta…this August day was bursting with life. The morning started within four cozy walls of the Two Room Inn with Jen’s sisters by her side. Phil and his guys spent a leisurely morning just down Broad Street, at the National. […]

It was a gift of a week. To see it all, and sleep within the same walls. The last few days of anticipation, and the first few of new life. So close and intertwined that I could feel these rare moments all over again, as if they belonged to me. The ones that only happen […]
