Rooted & Wild Photography
children I am mama to
I fell in love with photography in my high school darkroom where I stood in the black punctured by red glowing light and watched as the photo I took of my brother slowly appeared on paper in the bath of chemicals. I went on to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Professional Photography from the Brooks Institute. For over 10 years I have been photographing families and people in love. I would love to photograph you, too.
I like to say I am a light chaser, but it isn't true, light chases me. And I love it. I love light when it is golden and dappled and streaming and brilliant. And even more than loving light I love to capture people in it. I love to tell stories, with words, with pictures, with art. I want to tell your story. I want to photograph you in beautiful light. I want to preserve the love you have for your family and the love they have for you.

Motherhood is at the core of my inspiration because first and foremost I am a mother. I spend my days in the slow slog and my nights looking back and wishing I had enjoyed it more. I capture photographs of my children in hard and easy moments, they are my lifeline to the memories of these years and giving my clients that same lifeline is one of my main goals as a photographer.
The sweetness, joyfulness, playfulness, and curiosity of childhood is a muse. All these little things your children do that you think you will never forget will fade, photographs help you to hold on tight.
I will never get so used to how beautiful love is that it won't inspire me. It is the root home of the family and it is worthy of capturing more then any other thing. It is never perfect, but it is always everything.
