Tomorrow I turn 30. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I was younger, I thought 30 was so old. But I knew that being 30 meant I was an adult, that I would have everything figured out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't have everything figured out, not by a long shot.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I am the happiest and most fulfilled I've ever been in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so proud of myself and the accomplishments I've made. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm excited that I get to photograph the most amazing people every day, and that I get to turn their memories into a keepsake that they will have forever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm so happy I get to create, to travel, to cook good food, to spend time with my family, my fiance, our animals, and everything we've built. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I guess I have some of it figured out. But there's so much more to come. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A huge thank you to @chels.ey.jo , Jon, and Holden for spending a beautiful afternoon with me in an enchanted forest this past Sunday. I can't wait to see your family grow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermont⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontlife⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontphotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontliving⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermonting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontigers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontshots⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontfall⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontfoliage⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontsummer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontwinter⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontoutdoors⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontartists⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontphotos⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontlove⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #loveandwildhearts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildlyromantic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildadventures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #radlovestories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #emotionsurfers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wanderingphotographers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildlovestories

Life is a whirlwind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One day you're saying vows to each other under an altar and the very next moment you're chasing around a 4-year old toddler and welcoming a newborn into the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life is precious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was so honored to take a moment with Julie and Josh to step away from the world for a beat, soak in the spring sunshine, and remember where it all began. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #couplephotography #adventure #loveandwildhearts #wildlyromantic #wildadventures #radlovestories #emotionsurfers #wanderingphotographers #wildlovestories 
As someone who never had a "formal" photography education, I have been mostly self-taught through my own research. From YouTube videos, webinars, conversations with other photographers – it's been quite the journey from where I started as a girl with her first DSLR.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I often got caught up in some of the more technical aspects of photography when I started really learning how to shoot using manual. Is the image correctly exposed? In focus? What's my shutter speed and aperture? As a photographer, these are all important things to keep in mind when you're learning how to use your camera.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what I've discovered is, no matter how "on point" my settings are, a truly spectacular image is one that conveys emotion, warmth, and passion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This photograph from last weekend's spring elopement is not, by any means, technically perfect. It was over-exposed, which I brought down in Lightroom. The focus isn't perfect. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I love this photo. It's the raw emotion, the warm light, the feeling of closeness. This is the feeling that I want to portray through my photography.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a never-ending learning journey.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventureinstead⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elope⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elopement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elopementphotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventureelopement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventureland⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elopementlove⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventureelopement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #elopementwedding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #vermontelopement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildelopements⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventurephotographer⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventuresession⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventureweddings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #destinationelopement⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #desitinationwedding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outdooradventurelife⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outdooradventurephotos⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #outdoorwedding⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #couplephotography⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #adventure⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #loveandwildhearts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildlyromantic⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildadventures⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #radlovestories⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #emotionsurfers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wanderingphotographers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #wildlovestories
