YOUR MEMORIES, YOUR NARRATIVE, YOUR FOREVER

I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT'LL NEVER BE TOO LATE

It’s time to memorialize that fleeting, precious thing that we do not have an abundance of- time. Whether it’s in your home laughing and crying over family recipes or chasing your kids or chasing chickens or at your pond catching tad-poles or dancing with an Elvis impersonator at your elopement in a Virginia dive bar or ranching in Texas or at the edge of a cliff in Appalachia- your time matters and is worth savoring.

R and D wanted something edgy and editorial mixed with a little whimsy and beauty. Sewanee, TN was the perfect back-drop for a quiet day spent lounging, basking in the natural beauty of the South, and walking through the mountains. They went with mismatched, non-traditional dresses, boots, and glamorous make-up for the first half of […]

Sewanee Tennessee Editorial Adventure Elopement // Sewanee, TN Photographer

If you’re interested in exploring your heritage and honoring Scottish traditions at your elopement here are a few that I think would be perfect to modernize.  Drinking from the Quaich (also called the loving cup) is the act of holding a silver bowl with your partner and each drinking from it. The best part? Typically […]

They started the day quietly in the rich, fall air of Tennessee, soaking up the warmth of the sun working against the brisk November air. Alexia and Andrew made coffee just as the sun was rising over the Tennessee Mountains and quietly packed a lunch to picnic in the field. Alexia thrifted her wedding dress […]

Sewanee, TN is where I attended college for my BFA and I am constantly down that way to hike, photograph, and explore- I know that place about as well as I know my own hometown and I love sharing it with my clients. The campus is over 13,000 acres of open land including caves, waterfalls, and a 23 mile […]

Nick and Destiny came on over to my farmhouse in Tennessee, right on the outskirts of Appalachia, near the Cumberland, to spend their afternoon together in a quiet, intimate embrace, reveling in the sunset, and laughing softly about the future. Young love is so often overruled by social standards, the race to graduate, make good […]

Kyhv Peak, Utah (formerly known as Squaw Peak, but was recently renamed from this slur to Kyhv which is the Ute word for mountain.) Utah is one of the USAs meccas for elopements and weddings, which means it was critical to me that we focus on privacy as well as LNT principles. It’s often hard […]

Tradition is seeped into my bones.  I grew up with family reminding me of the importance of our culture. I see it everywhere now, in nature, and in the things left behind. That’s tradition- the way we were raised, and how we see the world through the way the past once saw it.  I can’t […]

Eli and Ellie (made for each other so much so that their names go together) are a quiet couple, full of life, a future bursting with life and joy. They hold exploration and travel, especially travel to National Parks and Wilderness Areas in high regard. I don’t necessarily recommend sessions within the legal bounds of […]

There’s nothing better in this world than true love and rescue horses. Rescue horses hold a very special place in my life, I’m the proud partner to a rescue American Paint (with many more to come, that I’m sure of.) Horses are synonymous with the idea of freedom, of being wild, of pure joy. However, […]
