I've traveled the world chasing beauty,
making messes and finding love.

A night-owl since before learning to tie my primary-colored Keds, sneakily under my Ninja Turtle sheets and much past bedtime, I'd sing myself to sleep with melodies from my world of make-believe. Outside my cluttered room through my window with the peeling paint, were historic stone-lined logging roads nestled between the trees that danced in the Winter winds. These paths preserved the stories of thousands of feet over hundreds of years. These things outside our windows. The little, nestled somethings. They ground you. They remind you, much like my collection of mix-tapes: anthems of adolescence thoughtfully amassed on one fabulous Memorex cassette.

ABOUT

I'M AN OLD SOUL FROM
A SMALL NEW ENGLAND TOWN.


I am a wanderlust and homebody.
I'm a hopeless romantic and a stubborn realist.
I am an introverted extrovert. I'm a hybrid.

Though born a Northerner and frequenter of the phrase “wicked awesome”, I'm finally ready to admit it- you guys; Sweet tea is nectar of the gods. Most importantly what you need to know is that I'll forever live for any opportunity to interject with a perfectly-timed "That's what she said".

I wasn't created for cubicle life. 
Though I've traveled the world, making messes, chasing beauty, and finding love, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, and hope I never do. I want to keep dreaming. Searching. Failing. I want to keep discovering.

ABOUT

I'M A PAUL SIMON and LUDACRIS PLAYLIST.

I believe timelessness > trendiness.

and with that, that your wedding photography should be timeless. I believe in perfectly, imperfect moments.

I believe Kristen Wiig and I are meant to be real life friends, but have promised my Yorkie,
Mr. Jones, that she'll never take his place.

I believe no one can wear orange lipstick like my 94 year old Grandma Daisy. I wholeheartedly believe in infectious laughter, sarcasm, and that few things are greater in life than four-letter words written in calligraphy. 

I believe a single photograph can dizzy senses into dance. I believe in stories- in telling and preserving them. And, I would love nothing more than to tell yours. xoxo

ABOUT

The day I rifled through an old suitcase filled with faded photographs of my parents is the day I knew I wanted to tell stories like the ones in those photographs. Stories of my dad sneaking out of his bedroom window at night just so he could get in an extra hour of playing ice hockey. My mom, a ballerina, in her handmade, dance costumes for every recital. Their genuine, smallest of every day moments honored, remembered- and I can hold them between my fingers. My dad, standing on the frozen pond in Boston, hockey stick in-hand, bundled up from head-to-toe. My mom, graceful. lovely. in sequins and satin. 

I'M AN OLD SOUL FROM A SMALL NEW ENGLAND TOWN.
