And thanks for stopping by! My work reflects my desire to add some whimsy, enchantment and beauty to the world. It is my way of sharing a bit of my heart.

Couples/Engagement

This beautiful couples anniversary session was so much fun to photograph! I love anniversary sessions because the couples are always so relaxed and know each other so well.
