Notes from the Field
stories, not sessions
A slow-moving record of love letters, mountain weddings, wildflower elopements, and the quiet moments in between. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
Elopements
Sarah and Marcus drove four hours into the Cascades with a suitcase of secondhand Levi's, a bouquet her mother had pressed the night before, and a fiddle player they met on a camping trip two summers ago. What unfolded was the softest, strangest, most beautiful day I've ever been trusted with. Here's the whole story, the light, the tears, the wildflowers they picked on the way up.
Read the Story
Elopements
A two-person wedding deep in the Cascades, stitched together with handwritten vows and a fiddle player named Josiah.

Couples
Aspen trees, grandmother's quilts on the chairs, and a first dance held in the slow amber light of a mountain dusk.

Behind the Scenes
A quiet manifesto on slowing down, paying attention, and the difference between a portrait and a photograph that actually holds something.

Couples
An in-home session with sourdough on the counter, their rescue dog Millie underfoot, and eight years of easy love.

Travel
Six rolls of Portra 400, a rental Fiat, and the realization that slow travel is the only kind I want to make photographs through.

Lifestyle
A practical, tender guide for the folks who tense up the second a lens points their way. You are not uncameraworthy, I promise.

Elopements
On the wild, intimate honesty of a two-person wedding, and why more of my favorite couples are choosing this route.

Behind the Scenes
The two bodies, four lenses, and one extremely worn linen pouch that come with me to every wedding, rain or shine.

Travel
Moss, moor, and the particular gold the October light makes on wool. Ten days that reminded me why I photograph at all.
The Monthly Letter
Once a month: a new journal entry, a recent love story, a song I'm stuck on, and whatever film I just developed. No noise. Just the good stuff.
