Capture the moment, cherish the memory.
About the Studio
Well, here we are, an unbelievable 20 years in, and boy has it been a wild ride. As I wrap up this year's wedding edits and albums, it's time to give voice to a secret I've been keeping for the last 12 months. In 2019, my family and I made the decision that 2020 would be my last year photographing weddings. We wanted to make room for family, hobbies, new endeavors, and living a slower life in general. You know, to take time to stop and smell the roses. I planted some of those this year, because, you know, planned semi-retirement and all.
I am still taking select event, headshot, and family commissions. I am giving priority to long-standing clients, but welcome new inquiries. My goal is to limit this photography work to less than 2 projects per month :). Thank you for a wonderful TWO DECADES of first looks and first dances as we put my first love to bed <3.
Who We Are
Hello and Welcome. We are a boutique photography company. We answer the phone at all odd hours, email entirely too much, and we-heart-text-messages. Since 2001, we've been striving to keep relationships personal, ideas fresh, and products timeless. We've got a passion for creating rockin' portraits while capturing moments as they happen.
Our Philosophy
We are inspired by our clients: their excitement, their style, but mostly their adoration of each other. The little glances, soft whispers, and inside jokes; these are the memories behind the images. We've got a passion for creating rockin' portraits, always adventurous and never a snooze, while exploring our surroundings to make incredible and fresh images. Kinda like a photo-scavenger-hunt if there ever was such a thing. Once the ceremony hits, we like to blend into the crowd, taking a more candid and photo-journalistic approach, so that we can canvas the crowd and document not only you, but the folks who you've chosen to experience the day with, too.
Our Services
We offer a range of photography services, including portraits, weddings, and events. We're not just limited to weddings, we also offer headshots, family commissions, and more. Our goal is to capture the essence of your special moment, whether it's a wedding, a birthday, or just a regular day. We strive to keep relationships personal, ideas fresh, and products timeless.
