I live with one foot in this world and the other in a world very much of my own making. As a child, my bedtime stories existed in lands like Narnia and Middle Earth. My imagination was raised to run wild as the wind. I can often be found with my nose in a book, toes in the sand, or having a tea party with my daughter.
Some fun facts about me: I hate wearing shoes, drink an average of 4 cups of tea per day, wear a LOT of black, quote movies like it's my job, sing at the top of my lungs or not at all, met the love of my life when I was 11 years old, we played in a band together, got married at 19, and had a miracle baby named Phoenix.
I am: a dreamer, a mother, a wanderer, a rain-dancer, a writer, a wine-drinker, a yogi, a singer, an ocean-air-breather, and a storyteller. I've been taking photos for as long as I can remember (if you want to get specific, I got my first 35mm film camera when I was 8 years old). I've been telling stories for as long as I can remember. I've been dreaming BRILLIANTLY for as long as I can remember. I believe there is both darkness and light inside all of us, and each piece is just as beautiful and important as the other.

And I am still learning how to stop apologizing
for my wild."

There are family photos… and then there are FAMILY PHOTOS. ⚡️
Every year, we dream up something a little ridiculous for our family photos, and every year @lindseygomesphoto replies, “say less.” 😂
Lindsey has been photographing our family since there was a family to photograph. She’s documented us growing up alongside each other, watched Phoenix grow through her lens, and somehow continues to enthusiastically participate in whatever nonsense I bring her.
This year: Stranger Things. 🧇🚲🩸
As a photographer, I spend so much of my life preserving everyone else’s people. There’s something incredibly special about getting to step onto the other side of the camera and trust someone else to preserve mine.
And THESE?!?!
I will never recover.
Consider this your permission slip to get weird with your family session. Your photos don’t have to look like anyone else’s family photos. They can look like you. 🖤

I’m thinking about bringing my mini sessions to Southern California this fall. If I make it happen, where would you want to see me?

Unfortunately, I have discovered celestial bridal veils and now regular house clothes feel spiritually insufficient.
