My favorite days start with waking up before my seven children to enjoy a slow morning of drinking coffee in my mug-of-the-day and sitting in the glorious warm sun with my chickens (I wish very day could be so serene).

I am not a girly-girl but I love wearing dresses and my favorite accessory is a pair of dangly earrings.

I have a penchant toward nostalgia so 90's music always hits and I will happily rewatch a tv show or movie before looking for a new one. Are you a Gilmore Girls, Anne of Green Gables, or Little Women fan, too?

I am a deep feeler; music, exceptional food, and quality human connection will move me to tears. So, I absolutely will cry at your graduation and/or wedding.

So what can you expect when we first meet?

You know the movie Miss Congeniality?  Picture the scene where Sandra Bullock's character comes out of the hangar with all that swagger....then proceeds to trip and fall. That's me! Except, let's be honest, I probably have a fraction of the swagger I think I have.

I love color but you'll typically find me wearing neutrals, or my signature, white and blue stripes.

I am a goof. I cannot be effortlessly cool no matter how hard I try which generally means I make others feel really good about themselves, Ha!

Essentially, I am an amalgam of many things but if I had to distill myself my photography down to a few words they would be, aesthetics meets goofy-authentic. I'm here for all of it...the beautiful and the real.
