Hi.

Being here means you've seen my work and something made a connection with you. For me, that's the biggest compliment I could think of! Getting to know my couples and ensuring we are the best fit is a massive deal.

The more I know you, the better I can photograph you. I think I've been able to do this for the last nine years because I genuinely care about who I meet. You aren't just another person to me. Your story and whatever brought you to this point is worthy of being documented just as it happened.

Want to know a little about me? Here are ten random facts:

1. As a quarantine birthday joke, my husband ordered chickens. The joke is now on him because it has grown into a full-blown obsession, and I am the proud mom to 15 chickens named after cereals and have their own Instagram and line of merchandise.

2. I give everyone I love a nickname. My family is: Pootie, Lu, Shoogie, Chi-Chi and FartBoy. I have 2 kids, a husband, a Labradoodle, and a rescue cat. I'll you guess who.

3. I was named after my late grandfather, whom I never got to meet: Danny. My most treasured possession is a photo-booth strip of him and my Mamaw when they first met. I always wished I could find a love like that (...I did).

4. I cried when I saw the Pyramids in Cairo because #HistoryNerdForever.

5. Painting, drawing, and being a resident of San Francisco led me to this career.

6. I’m proud of my laugh lines. To me, it means a life well lived.

7. I'm a WKU graduate and legitimately chose that school because the mascot is so weird and cute. What is it? A red blob? A giant blood clot? It’s incredible, and that’s all I needed to know.

8. I'm 5'10, and countless people have asked me to grab stuff high off the shelves for them in public. It's strange and flattering all at once.

9. I met my husband on a random whim while I was drinking margaritas and swimming at my aunt's house. We married six months later in front of 15 people, two days before Christmas, because when ya know, ya know, YA KNOW?

10. I live near a gorgeous lake in Kentucky. I have this crazy irrational fear of being eaten by a giant catfish and dragged to the bottom, so I refuse to swim in it.
