šš½šš½ Hi, and welcome if youāre new here! Hereās a little blurb about some of the multitudes I contain, and what you can expect to see in my art and on this page.
Clients and friends sound off in the comments about a multitude we have in common, or one of mine I forgot to mention šāŗļø.
ššBig Announcementšš
After 10 years of photography, Iām having my very first show š„¹.
For so long I defined my art in service of my clients, constantly trying to navigate my POV against the status quo of the industry. Becoming a mother tore my entire identity wide open and gave me permission to finally drop every single script Iāve ever been handed.
By choosing art and motherhood alongside of each other, interconnected, intertwined, separate and togetherā¦. Both out of necessity and instinctual nature, I was finally choosing the multitudes of myself.
I canāt wait to share some more of myself with all of you ā¤ļø
Dream girls, backyard wedding, meticulous gay lighting, hot guests, late night swims. I will not soon forget this evening with Jen and Emily and their most special people š
At the start of the night, Jen mentioned she feels like the first date hasnāt stopped yet with Emilyā¦ itās an energy and love that is palpable and that they share with everyone around them. So thankful to be sucked into their orbit šŖ
For a long time, I felt the pressure to resolve my dualitiesāto choose clarity over complexity, singularity over multiplicity. But my work and life resist that urge. Once I became a mother, I was able to finally allow the simultaneity of experience, the reality of holding opposites in the same body, at the same time, always.
In choosing both art and motherhoodāinterconnected, intertwined, yet separate and wholeāI began to understand this duality not as conflict, but as truth. This is the practice of allowing all versions of myself to exist without hierarchy.
This is the act of belonging to my own becoming.
This is motherhood for me. And being able to stretch and flow and change and evolve alongside such a spectacular soul, will always be my greatest gift.
Kelsey and I met each other back in a time where her scene-kid swoop was the envy of all, so it was pretty fitting that she ended up re-piercing her own ear with a safety pin Parent Trap stylee within the first half hour of me being there š§·š¤š½.
But in all seriousness, I held back tears all evening seeing this gorgeous bride shine and thrive alongside her perfect partner š„¹. Congrats, babes.
A fallow period is a time when the earth is left unsown, unworkedāallowed to rest, to recover. Life continues around it: the neighboring plot thick with mature trees, wildflowers blooming in quiet abundance. And still, the fallow land waits, appearing barren, holding the unseen work of renewal.
This body of work from my show, The Unbecoming of You, lives in that space of waiting and becoming.
Like the land, I have experienced a season of stillness that was anything but empty. A period of pause shaped not by absence, but by necessity. There is a violence and tenderness to regeneration: the controlled burn that clears what was, making space for what might be.
With creative women the egos are not there. Instead there is support, wonderment, awe, and a constant stream of hype and positivity.
This is why, when my friends do very cool things, I am more than happy to show up with my camera to play and get some proof of all their hard work š.

Stepping into The Kelleyās new season of life š§”.
This was my 6th chance at photographing this family, and I love how you can see and feel the benefit of our developing relationship over time within their photos.
Being a return client means comfort and ease, presence and personality! Not to mention little ones that are (beyond) comfortable with a camera in their face like my favorite little man, James!
Sharing some joy and color and happiness from a lighter time with one of my favorite Omaha families šš. Always the biggest joy seeing my wedding couples grow and change over time. Such a gift!

Moments of support, stillness, anticipation, moments after š¤
10 years into photography, I know I can promise my couples that I will BE THERE, and as far as the photos go, you donāt have to worry about a thingā¦ like, Iāve GOT YOU! The big, the small, a perspective you never would have seenā¦ I got it.
