A Quick Note on Limited Availability


Photography is something I truly love and take seriously — it just isn't my full-time gig. I also have a full-time career that keeps me busy most weekdays, plus three dogs who firmly believe they deserve just as much attention. They're super cute, though, so... Because of that, I can only take on a handful of sessions and weddings each year, so my availability is limited.


If the timing doesn't work out or I'm already booked up, don't worry — I'll do my best to point you toward another photographer who'd be a great fit for your day. I always want your photos to happen, even if it's not with me!
