Introduction.
In 2005, I took a trip to France where, through a black, wrought iron gate, I snapped a photo of a Parisian couple nuzzling on a park bench outside the Notre Dame. In that moment, I captured this sweet feeling - one I'd hadn't been able to capture through painting and drawing in the past. Photography has been my favorite medium ever since!

Today, I'm 25 and living in Muncie, Indiana with my lovely family - a handsome film student named Austin, our precious baby daughter Evelynn Rose, and the best dog in the universe, Stella!

Style.
My style is real. It's honest. When I pose you, I will find a way to make the image pop with life. I will - repeat, I will! - get you to laugh. I have never left a portraiture session or a wedding without making making friends with my clients because connecting is what I am all about! I do my very best to get to know you quickly - I'll keep snapping photos until I find your quirks, until I've found that special way you look at each other when you think no one is paying attention or until you've found yourself so lost in a thought you almost forget I'm there. As your wedding photographer, I am simultaneously a fly on the wall and an excited, priviledged guest! And don't forget - I will make you laugh! :)

The Investment.
My portraiture begins at $150 and my weddings begin at $900, with an engagement or bridal session included. Packages and products are available, and every session and wedding comes complete with all your finalized images (20-40 for portraiture and a minimum of 200 for weddings) on archival disc in hi-res with a copyright release so you may print your images at the lab of your choice. The disc also comes with a watermarked, web-share version of all of your photos.

Please be aware my prices increase according to the market and my product inventory approximately every six months, so book your portraiture or wedding soon to lock in this price!
