Seeing this glorious stretch of heavenly lavender fields has been in my dreams for some time. So when the opportunity arrived to work with the very kind and talented Aurelie from Love and Provence, I was so over the moon. Together, we would create a wedding editorial to inspire love-struck couples to choose the unforgettable experiences […]

This story is about a time when the beautiful and alluring mommy Amelia penned a letter to her darling daughter, Andrea. We spoke about how we could bring a sweet legacy into her family photo session, and Amelia told me that she would love to pass on the virtue of courage to her daughter. Precious […]

We photographed this laid back, pretty maternity session at T and K’s sun-drenched home in Breakfast Point. We wanted to create a story that was beyond beautiful; more than just a maternity session. Our hope was that these photographs would not just be individual moments that we captured, but they would have layers of heartfelt […]

It doesn’t have glorious gowns nor sweet smelling flowers, but it is one that reached to the deepest parts of my heart.   A few years ago, we photographed Christina and James’ wedding at Gunners Barracks. I remember Christina telling us that her grandmother […]
