i am about documenting what’s there in a way that makes me feel something. what’s there was haylee and her newborn daughter and a window and their garden. what i felt was the beauty and invisibility and magic of motherhood. what i see now is one of the best photos i’ve ever made.

spotted at a wedding reception. alternate title: hot, young couples are overrated. shot on kodak tri-x 400 film. scanned / developed by @indiefilmlab

it’s time for another #fridayintroductions and 5 things about me.
1- i didn’t like taylor swift until i learned she wrote her own music. i was listening to her as a guilty pleasure in 2011 and hurriedly put my laptop away as i was late to class. when i walked in and opened my laptop, one of her country songs started playing loudly in the middle of a @travislovellphoto lecture. i was mortified. #toocoolfortaylor
2- this photo is of me! taken by the lovely @braillegold in my son’s closet last autumn when my mane was longer. i can’t get it to grow much longer than that ^^ but i’m quite enjoying my new, current length.
3- i graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 2016. documentary photography was one of my favorite classes. you don’t need a degree to be a photographer, but i wouldn’t be where or who i am now without my education.
4- speaking of education, i am in the beginning stages of creating an online wedding photography course and i am so excited to share what i know. anything i absolutely need to cover in this class? lmk.
5- i have 5 siblings and i can’t believe how much i love them. they always have my back. i can show my sisters my weird rashes and they still like me. i can talk to my brother about menstruation and we laugh about it together while i complain (and he’s not even on instagram so you know i mean it). not to mention all the siblings i have gained through marriage! i just love my family 😭. look at me, gushing about them when it’s not even national sibling day.

moments that tell a story. #allyouwitness

kids are back in school and i feel about as optimistic and free as my son was standing on top of a dirt pile in Arches National Park. shot on #kodakgold200 | scanned + developed by @indiefilmlab

have your guests stay at your wedding venue and i get to capture their candid selves before they’re wedding-ready. win-win-win.

one phrase kept repeating in my head throughout this wedding day and as i looked through the photos afterwards: deliriously happy. i’ve never seen my friend as happy as she was that day, and it was such an honor to witness. love you both 😭😭

that JUST MARRIED feeling
