These days can be a whirl of excitement and a tiny bit overwhelming as all of the pieces of your perfectly designed concepts become reality.  That floral selection isn’t going to just choose itself.

I am obsessed with finding beauty in every little moment.  Capturing your grace, his charm, your blush, his dimples.  Angles and light dance together to freeze the feelings of the moment. 

The loveliest weddings take me everywhere from Charleston, South Carolina down to the Florida Keys.  I love each little romantic adventure. My home office is in the little coastal town of Flagler Beach, Florida.

Enough about me.  What about you?  Tell me every dreamy detail of your day.

my journey

My childhood was filled with Florida sunshine and coastal adventures.  this place where imagination ignites.  Hammocks transform into covered back wagons and swimming pools turn little girls into mermaids.  

College studies took me to Michigan where I majored in Communications and met a cute Canadian, Benjamin James.

Before wedding bells rang, I was off to China.  a year of tremendous growth and exploration.  Also, The birth of my obsession for bubble tea and jiaozi. 

Though we lived a half a world apart, That cute Canadian and I started dating. We became well acquainted with jet lag.

The relationship soon blossomed into engagement. ben played his guitar on the beach at sunset, then popped the question on bended knee. What can I say? He knows the way to my heart.  

We married in January of 2006, a wedding designed with mock-ups on Microsoft Word.  Totally old school and pre-Pinterest. White florals and a plethora of greenery graced our church. Sunlight flooded through Windows stretching the length of the sanctuary. We spoke vows, and began the best adventure of our lives.

Immediately following our St. Thomas honeymoon, I left my sunny florida life for Ben’s snowy Ontario world.

In this northern climate, the humble beginnings of my photography blossomed.  With the kindest and most creative of clients, I found my perfect career match.  Even though it was cold.  Like, really cold.

In 2013 we moved back to Florida, my home. You’ll find us now in the cute coastal town of Flagler Beach.

Ben and I have four children, two boys and two girls who fill our days with joy and discovery. You’ll also find our furry critter friends here, three cats, and our dog, Beauregard.

We live on a five-acre coastal Low-Country style property. You’ll find us swimming in our pool, playing at the beach, swinging in our balcony hammocks, or on a travel adventure.

Life is a little messy, a little loud, with lots of sandy toes.  In every moment there is beauty to be found.

Wedding photography is a gift of a job in capturing the start of a new family.
