Josie

Josie, Josie, Josie, if you don’t have her in your life, you really should. I’ve known this stunning creature for over 15 years now and she’s been an inspiration since day one. Josie started out as my hair dresser, or honestly hair “tamer” my freshman year of high school and has progressed into an older sister that I love and respect beyond words. She also does incredible energy work, I’m having my first reading this week (pretty excited!), find her on Instagram at @josie_style

I had so much fun exploring her magical home (complete with it’s own sauna) and the surrounding beauty, a fall morning at it’s best.

Alyssa & Drew

Waking up early for this morning shoot in the soft light, was beyond worth it. Dawn is such a peaceful time of day. Light slowly sinks into the land and life on the bay begins once more. Drew and Alyssa were so sweet together and up for my wild Maya ideas that I often get on shoots. It was really fun getting to know these love birds, thanks again you two!

Crystal at Golden Hour

The first time I met Crystal, she was about 2-3 weeks old? Quite a lot has changed since then! This lady is a senior in high school now - acting, driving and all around killing it at life. She may be the funniest person I’ve ever met? I haven’t had this much fun in a while shooting senior photos. Crystal doesn’t take herself too seriously - and that my friends, just might be the key to a happy life…

Mr & Mrs Miller

There’s something unique about growing up with someone and photographing them for over 10 years, and then being able to take that full circle and be there on her wedding day. Thank you Matt and Alix. To witness that complete trust between two beings, there just isn’t words to explain the love and connection. The warmth, that radiates from these two! Also, I don’t think a more beautiful bride exists. Forever grateful to have been apart of such a beautiful and special day. Here are a few of my favorites.

Introducing Alix & Matt Miller!

Noah Dooley Music

It’s been a while since I blogged… 2 1/2 years to get exact. But there’s no time like now, to return to the things and people that mean the most to us and this photoshoot couldn’t symbolize that more. I had so much fun taking these portraits of my brother, Noah Dooley, the most talented musician I know. And I’m not saying that for sister points, I grew up with the guy, he’s tenacious as hell and the most committed human I’ve ever met. Anything he lands his focus on, he escalates to perfecting that thing, at an annoyingly fast rate. My early memories of elementary and middle school are filled with the sounds of Noah practicing his guitar relentlessly, before zipping off to Spain after college, to learn even more beautiful tunes. Whether it was basketball, skateboarding, Spanish or music, always music, he rose to the top.

If you haven’t had a chance to hear Noah play, visit @noahdooleymusic on Instagram. From Bach to Manuel Ponce, his range transcends time. Literally. Oh and he’s single, ladies!
