What I'm All About
The Moments in Between
Before my dad handed me his camera when I was 7 years old, I actually remember holding my hands up to my eyes and making a little box with my fingers to see what life would look like through that tiny lens. Being a skilled photographer himself, my dad was the one who taught me my earliest lessons in the principles of photography. It laid the foundation for me, and I am grateful to this day for his support and guidance. In high school, I received my first camera and won several national print and portfolio awards. Finally, while I was attending college, my art teacher suggested that I photograph a wedding for a (very trusting) couple who was comfortable letting me try my hand at it, in exchange for them simply paying for the cost of my film. Sold. And I never looked back.
Your Stories
are constant reminders of why I do what I do
I officially launched Catch Light Photography in 2008, after getting married and having my first child. I take the qualities I love most about my OWN wedding and family photos and apply them to YOUR images. . .relationship-centered, personality-driven and REAL. Over time, I have developed a style that effortlessly combines photo-journalism with formal portrait photography, and I truly believe it’s the best way to tell your full story. Year after year, trends shift and wedding themes change (oh, the stories I could tell), but the beautiful and sacred moments captured in each session remain. They are constant reminders, nourishing and motivating to me, of why I do what I do.
About Us
Business aside, my husband and four beautiful children ensure that life is filled with nonstop action (and lots and lots of love). I take any opportunity I can to enjoy live music on the occasional date night with the hubby, good beer (and whiskey and coffee) and barbecues with friends and family. Life is perfectly imperfect, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
