Ellen + Kyle embody the sort of kindness that immediately brings a smile to your face. They are warm, genuine, smart, and - as is obvious - good looking. Theirs was a celebration punctuated by a crisp elegance, and we loved every minute.

We got together on a chilly, late spring evening. I was half expecting the beach to be packed with families anxious to take advantage of the lack of rain, but the lovely stretch of sand was very nearly empty. Erica and Mike were so at ease and natural with each other. It was all about molding the light and angles and documenting their interactions. Can’t wait for their New Year’s Eve wedding!
Homemade florals. Matt with flowers in his hair. Zoë of luminous smile. Color. Friends speaking love and testimonies of the impact these two have had on their lives. Pizza. Flash mob.
The most beautiful way to start out the 2019 wedding season!

This past Saturday we shot an exquisite and extremely memorable wedding in New Orleans (photos to come)! Sunday we wandered around the city. I collected colors and textures and absorbed the history of this place in word and music and food. Such a delight.
It's such a fun, gratifying experience to watch a family grow over the course of a few years. Little personalities emerging, sibling relationships being forged in those very first moments. And more and more I'm leaning toward only doing family sessions in and around the home and perhaps on little purposeful outings. It feels stressful for both parents and children to have to stand still and smile for photographs. The dynamic of relationships and giggles, cries, quiet, silliness, and joy welling up naturally is where true magic is to be made.
It's always a pleasure spending time with the Dempseys. This light filled shared bedroom is the perfect little spot to sprawl out and enjoy a morning.
