I believe real life is pretty amazing in all its imperfection (and definitely worth remembering)!

I love “messy” photos so much that one of the first photos you’ll see of me (below) was taken after my husband won Pieface Showdown (hence the whipped cream all over my face).

I’m not a huge fan of pictures where everyone sits “perfectly” still looking straight at the camera. Instead, my photographs are unique and unscripted - dancing, laughing, running, etc.

Candids are my fave!!

(Black and white photo - Kelly Loss Photography; Header photo - Amanda Lessner Photography; Headshot - Ivy & Quartz Photography; and Mountain photo - random stranger in Yosemite).

I REALLY LIKE:

Road trips, 1980s teen movies, the short stories of Alice Munro, margaritas (with salt, of course), campgrounds, comfy grey sweatshirts, "Naive Melody" by the Talking Heads, lilacs, dog walks at dusk, the Neapolitan Novels by Elana Ferrante, my grandmother's old photo albums, hot baths, happy hour, wool socks, sleeping in, concerts, iced tea with lemonade, large hoop earrings, “Bizarre Love Triangle” by New Order, boho shirts (if you can’t already tell from the photos), hugs, Zach Bryan’s song lyrics, tabouli, mixtapes, mountains (esp. hiking through mountains), Swifties, vacation planning & banana bread.

I DON’T ENJOY:

Global pandemics, overpriced wine, mean people, long lines, gardening (luckily my husband loves gardening), not laughing, racism, sexism, homophobia, bedtime, & cleaning bathrooms.

Have questions?

I'm always up for a call. Or chats over email. Or coffee/tea. Whatever works best for you!

I can’t wait to hear your story!
