I'm a photographer with a mix of modern and vintage style. I love as much natural light as I can get. And I really enjoy making every couple's wedding day special. I currently focus on weddings and engagements, but am available to shoot events, pets, couples, bridals, and maternity!

I have a Bachelors of the Arts in Photography and Related Media, as well as a B.A. in Classical Studies from Purdue University. I do all of my own retouching and color correcting.

I love to garden, hike, camp, and spoil my cat Milo...and my fiance, of course. :)

Information For Photographers:

Everyone struggles with trying to pick a style - mine has evolved over time, but I always go back to bright colors & photoshop color corrected images that are aesthetically pleasing both to the professional and the amateur.
I have several years of professional retouching experience at a photography studio and I utilize those skills to remove blemishes, bra straps, photo bombs - whatever needs altered! I carefully review all of my selected photos. I normally shoot about ~1000 photos for your wedding and narrow it down to 200-400.

I shoot with Olympus E-Systems DSLR gear. I always bring a back up Olympus E-500 camera body to go along with my E-3.
It has never let me down! I have several great lens including the following:

Zuiko Digital ED 70-300mm F 4.0 - 5.6
Zuiko Lens ED 12-60mm 2.8 {My favorite}
Zuiko Digital 50mm 2.0 Macro {2nd favorite}

Full professional flash system and HD grip with double battery.
Professional grade CF cards. I normally carry 4-5 cards and carefully back up the images after the wedding, leaving the images both on the card until editing is completed, my computer hard-drive, and an external hard-drive. I also upload the selected images to my zenfolio - so there are 4 levels of back up!

I retouch and color correct in Photoshop through levels and very lightly color adjust / custom in Lightroom. My work flow is mostly Photoshop based.
