I can't say it enough- this is my dream job, truly. I grew up with photography, and by that I mean that I don't know a version of myself without a camera in my hand. Over the years my artistic style may have changed but the core "why" to my love for a photograph never changes. Photos are evidence of lived experiences, precious heirlooms for your baby to look back on as an adult (becoming a mom put this into mega perspective for me!!) and proof of joy paused in a fleeting moment. I love this job, I love third wheeling clients in the warm glow of missouri sunsets, and I love the ability to create meaningful art for insanely awesome people!!!

Anyyywhoo, accidentally got all deep on you BUT honestly if we were to meet at a coffee shop tomorrow you'd find me in a booth by the window, with an xl iced peppermint mocha (all year long bb) and way geeked out to hear your life story. I love connection and deep conversations. I'll tell you all about how I thought I'd move away from my hometown but now how I adore it.  We'd absolutely gab about how motherhood has changed how I see the world. Then we'd make plans for a last minute trip because I can't get enough of the ocean.

Thank you for being here, thank you supporting my dream and thank you for also understanding just how cool and important photos of you in this season are- ya know, for history purposes :)
