“It is spring, and the night wind
is moist with the smell of turned loam
and the early flowers;
the moon pours out its beauty
which you see as beauty finally,
warm and offering everything.
You have only to take.” — Margaret Atwood

You all are probably so sick of seeing these photos and videos but I will never get over how much I love them.

“I am getting acquainted with the subtlety of appreciating something from afar rather than holding it tight in my grasp and getting fingerprints all over it”

This quote really made me think differently about the dreams & ideas I’ve been holding WAY too tightly. Getting my fingerprints all over it, suffocating it. Leaving you vulnerable to the crushing disappointment that comes with these cThere’s peace & freedom in sometimes just throwing up your hands and repeating to yourself — “If it’s meant to be, it will be”

Cage reached out to me this past summer to inquire about a magical, fantasy Pre-Raphaelite nymph as a birthday treat to herself. During our planning phase, one of our first discussions was about theme/vibe - immediately she emphasized wanting to feel elegant & ethereal, but also powerful (which can we agree that she looks so enchantingly soft but also strikingly fierce?!). I really admired Cage in our conversations - she had a clear vision, expressed it with confidence & vigor, & really embodied the powerful energy she conveyed in her photos.

The other day I was chatting with a dear friend (thank you for always listening ) and rambling about how I sometimes felt like an imposter as a photographer. I went through all the negative thoughts buzzing around it my head: that I felt like no one would take me seriously because only do photography on the side, and that because I haven’t been able to turn it into a full time business that I must not be good enough or be lacking , so when clients learn that I don’t do it full time, they may choose not to book me because they want someone of more esteem who was able to create a successful full-time business.

Now, to be fair, most clients don’t even realize I’m a nurse & don’t do photography full time until the day of our session (if at all), but at the same time I definitely don’t want to be dishonest and not share it with them. All that to say, this friend (again, thank you ) basically said - if people love your photos & can see themselves in them, and want to experience it themselves, they likely won’t give a toss whether you do it full time or not. Now this may seem obvious to an outside perspective, but until I heard that the dots just didn’t connect in my brain.

So the lesson I learned is - step into YOUR power & be unapologetically you, embracing all the facets of who you are, recognizing that the people who are meant for you will find you. You just have to keep being yourself, doing what you love, & enjoying the creative process along the way.

One of my favorite elements of digital photography is the endless opportunity of variance. I adore holding on to photos taken years ago, combing through them with fresh eyes, & reediting them to see how my editing style has changed. It’s also so helpful to use them as a guide to potentially improve a technique that I may have not been able to achieve at that particular point in time due to experience level.

The first photo is an edit I just did today (2025) and the next photo is the edit I did when this photo was taken in April of 2022.

I’d love to know which photo edit you prefer & why? And also, do you have a certain editing technique or a style of photo editing that you gravitate towards? Or if you don’t necessarily color grade/edit your images, have you seen a pattern to the style of images you favor?

I’d love to hear your perspective, which is another favorite thing of mine about photography & image editing! I love that it is so subjective & open for interpretation

Last summer, I co-hosted a Hobbit themed picnic with some dear friends at Middle Creek Wildlife PreserveMiddle Creek Wildlife Preserve & wanted to share it here to remind us all of the warmer days ahead!

We awoke early one warm August morning to head to the nature preserve to begin setting up our picnic. It was decorated in cozy patterned blankets, a handmade fabric banner for festiveness (I painstakingly crafted it out of scrap fabric & rope), vases full of wildflowers, wooden lanterns, & of course an abundance of yummy food that would make any Hobbit jump with glee.

And of course, my friends & I wanted to look the part so we were fitted with some beautiful flower crowns from Olivia’s Flower truck and dresses from Huckleberry clothing co to complete the Hobbit festivities!

So whether you're looking to book a session to showcase/highlight your service or product or a photoshoot to celebrate your best friends, your partner, a personal portrait session, celebrate a specific occasion, make a concept you have come to life, or anything in between, I will be sure to capture the magic!

My friends & I met up a while ago at Harkness State Memorial Park to create some painting inspired portraits. It was January, cold, & extremely windy, but they were extremely patient and we ended up getting some magical shots!

They remind me a lot of the Pre-Raphaelite paintings that have medieval chivalric romance themes

Whether you're looking to book a personal portrait session, a best friends session, celebrate an occasion, make a concept you have come to life, or anything in between, I will be sure to capture the magic of any situation.

Some of my dearest friends, Matt & Steffi, so graciously allowed me to drag them to Longwood Gardens to take some couples photos of them. The day was cloudy & a bit misty, but it was the absolute perfect day for portraits!

The clouds acted as a light box to softly distribute light onto them & make both the setting and the subject look magical & dream. I prefer shooting in natural light without full sunlight because not only does it cast harsh shadows, but it also causes eye strain and squints!

Whether you're looking to book a couple's photoshoot, a personal portrait session, celebrate an occasion, make a concept you have come to life, or anything in between, I will be sure to capture the magic of any situation.

My brother & his fiance are getting married in a few short months!! I took these engagement photos of them last August & they turned out so dreamy!

We met at Hershey Gardens in the early evening hours to take full advantage of all the beautiful flowers in bloom as well as the dramatic fountains & gardens. As the evening went on, we decided to capture the magic of golden hour & the glorious sunset at the Marietta Lookout over the Susquehanna River.

The entire evening looked like an oil painting with the way the sky glinted off the water.

Whether you're looking to book an engagement session, personal portraits, celebrate an occasion, make a concept you have come to life, or anything in between, I will be sure to capture the magic & enchantment!

Back to Ice: Viking Inspired Shoot

In addition to booked shoots, I also tend to meet up with friends and do creative projects to stay sharp with my skills! I met up with my friends Heather & Janine in Lancaster to take some photos inspired by the series "Vikings." We made fiery torches & ran around with swords/bow & arrows.

Whether you're looking to book a personal portrait session, celebrate an occasion, make a concept you have come to life, or anything in between, I will be sure to capture the magic of any situation.
