who we are

WELCOME,

It’s so great to meet you.

Many moons ago we met in Colorado + got married in Florida. We lived near Aspen and in Denver for about 6 years and then moved from Colorado to a beautiful cabin in the mountains near Blackwater Falls, WV with our twin daughters + have 2 dogs (Willie + Sunni) and 1 cat (Annie, who is also known as Cat).

We’re so thankful to be able to explore gorgeous places and capture some pretty amazing moments in West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and beyond.

When we aren’t working, you can find us adventuring with our twins in the outdoors or traveling. We have hiked and camped in some really amazing places including some backcountry camping adventures in Banff, Jasper, Whitehorse, Denali, and Rocky Mountain National Park.

We believe in moments and creating a life that is full of adventure. We love hiking, camping, traveling and seeing new places. We have recently started paddle boarding too and are in love! Read more about us below!

Our Why

At the end of the day, it’s always been the moments, that matter the most to us. We want you to have images that speak to your soul + we want you to have an experience you’ll never forget. And images that bring you back to the little and big moments of the day. All of those moments, should be treasured for many years down the road.

we love

OUR FAMILY

Our twin daughters are pretty amazing! They love soccer and band (so talented!) and are always up for traveling and seeing new places.

OUR PETS

Well of course they are part of our family and we love them!

TRAVELING

We love seeing new places and being able to take our kids on some really fun trips. Some of our bucket list places are: Iceland, Patagonia, Italy, Ireland, Greece and so many more.

CAMPING + OUTDOORS

We have done a lot of camping with our family, but we also love to do backcountry camping. We had some epic backcountry camping trips and our most favorite one is when we went to Glacier, Banff, Jasper, Whitehorse, Denali and more! We also love paddleboarding these days.

ENTERTAINMENT

We love listening to all kinds of music and watching new movies and shows. Always a fan of rewatching The Office, Arrested Development, The Good Place, Parks+Rec, What We Do in the Shadows.

We have a pretty eclectic mix of song love between us so it’s pretty entertaining on car rides.
