PHOTO JOURNAL

Most treasured moments are never captured by the camera or posted to social media platforms. They are often kept private and cherished collectively by the people experiencing the love.

It’s an amazing gift to share little bits and pieces of their hearts with you and an honor to have photographed them. I hope you take the time to explore this body of work and find inspiration of your own.

Photographers get booked to document these shifts in life, usually joyful, and provide evidence for generations to come that these moments, connections, and places are important to them and should be remembered.
