'Lifestyle photography' may sound like a description of what we typically see in glossy magazines and on fancy blogs, but this approach don't always accurately reflect people's real, daily lives. 
While often striking, these images don't resonate with my heart, since what we see is often more "style" than "life." 
I'm interested in real people, in the stories found in the sometimes-messy rooms of our homes, in the not-always-glamorous places we visit and in the down-to-earth things we do. I'm interested in individuals that live their true lives. There is beauty everywhere and blessings every day. I can see it!
I love being a witness to the wonders of daily life. My goal is to help you to see, preserve and treasure these moments.
