I believe in leaving a legacy through photos.
I might be more of a storyteller than a photographer… and I’m more than fine with that.
I don’t carry my camera everywhere. I choose to leave it at home to see through the “lens” of my eyes and be fully present with my family, friends, and my surroundings. (But believe me: I’m always observing the light and I see pictures everywhere. There’s no turning that part of my brain off!)
I would be honored to have the opportunity to photograph you and tell your story. Meaningful, genuine, beautiful photographs of your wedding, your family, and your children are something that should be loved, cherished, and handed down through the generations. Let’s talk about how to tell your story.

If you are curious about a few personal facts…
I love my Savior, Jesus, and give Him the full credit for the many blessings in my life. I am married to an amazing man and we have a beautiful angel of a daughter who was born in July of 2016, and a wonderful, precious son born in January 2019. I enjoy teaching (I’m a pilates instructor and former ballet teacher). I grew up studying ballet and theatrical jazz dance and now when I get a chance to dance (even if it is just with my kids to salsa music in the living room) it feeds my soul. I have ADOS (Attention Deficit Ooh Sparkly) and embrace it. I love the outdoors and going on adventures in our beautiful state. Part of that is connected to being a Mycopheliac. Basically, that means that I love to find, admire, and eat wild mushrooms, and I squeal like a little girl when I find them in the woods. Also, I use way too many exclamation points and smiley faces and it has taken a near Herculean effort for me to refrain from using them in this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀

Stephanie Pratt
Stephanie is our wedding assistant/second shooter/right-hand-woman. She is my one and only sister and one of her super powers is the ability to read my mind (or wild hand signals.) During the week, Stephanie works at Instant Hedge following her passion for horticulture. You might see her at weddings staring up into the trees. (She is looking for witches brooms, but that is a whole other story…)
Caleb Kohl
Caleb is my other half, in life and in business. We were married in June of 2010. Caleb handles the “left brained” parts of the business and takes care of the numbers and accounting. (This reminds me to thank God for Caleb on a regular basis.) Caleb is a licensed real estate agent and has a passion for investing in real estate and for teaching first time home owners what they need to know when buying their first home.
