Keep your eyes out for the latest issue of Modern Bride Magazine! There is a full page from my wedding in New York last September in the Real Bride, Real Beauty section! If you have seen the New York slideshow on my website or seen my sample albums then you will recognize Maie, she has such a unique style and I am so excited that she could be featured this issue. I am also very excited because this is the first time I have been published in a national magazine! Here is the magazine:

At the end of the day, portraits are about people—the ones you love most. If you’d like photos that reflect that love, I’d love to create them for you.
No two families are alike, and no two sessions should be either. That’s why I design each one with your unique story in mind. If you’d like that for your portraits, let’s plan something special.
Families often thank me for making the process so simple and stress-free. That’s exactly how it should feel. If you’d like that kind of experience, let’s chat.
Every stage of life deserves to be remembered—from newborn snuggles to senior year and beyond. If you’d like to capture your family’s journey, I’d love to work with you.
I’ve built my business on relationships, not just sessions. Many clients have become friends over the years. If you’d like a photographer you can trust long term, let’s start here.
Your portraits should be artwork that makes your house feel even more like home. If you’d like that kind of art on your walls, let’s plan it together.
