My suitcases are about to get a ton of use over the next few months as I travel from the East to West Coast and across the Pacific in the winter off-season! I know that I won’t always be able to travel constantly (there are future plans for a more “settled” existence, I promise!), but I’m soaking up every opportunity I have to explore the beautiful world with my camera in hand.
I would absolutely love to connect with you while I make my way around the world over these next few weeks. I have included some of my upcoming destinations below and if you’re living or traveling to any of these destinations at the same time – be sure to send me an email!
If you’re looking to elope in Australia or will be honeymooning in New Zealand, I would absolutely love to get you in front of my camera! This will be my second time visiting Auckland and Queenstown and I have a feeling that I’m never going to want to leave!
I’ve also been waiting for the right time to announce a few upcoming events that I’m truly honored to be a part of! I’m speaking at all of the conferences + workshops below and I truly hope I get to see you there!

– New Zealand: Visiting North Island + South Island and photographing couple’s sessions for Shane and Julie at the foot of the mountains in Queenstown, Sam and Kate at a family farm south of Auckland, and finally Quanah and Brayden who were visiting NZ from Australia!
– Hawaiian Islands: Exploring Oahu + Maui watching the sunrise from the summit of the HaleakalÄ Volcano and went snorkeling above the submerged Molokini Crater. I photographed sessions for The Glitter Guide, an Anniversary Session for Lauren and Aaron, as well as a Maui Editorial Shoot with boutique wedding + luxury elopement planners Opihi Love!
– The Italian Coast: During Our Honeymoon, we visited Rome and explored the breathtaking cliffsides of the Amalfi Coast. I can still taste the sweet wine and delicious homemade mozzarella cheese!
– St. John, US Virgin Islands: While vacationing on the Island of St. John with family, I loved capturing a sweet Anniversary Session for Adriana and Carter and exploring these beautiful untouched islands!
Over the next few months, my travel plans above are likely to change slightly as flights are booked and shoots are scheduled! I would absolutely love to meet you and if possible, setup a shoot! If you or someone you love will be in New Zealand or Australia this January… Be sure to send me an email! I’m starting to schedule shoots during my time in the Pacific and I have limited availability!
Other Locations that I’m *hoping* to add for mid to late 2016 include: Santa Fe, New Mexico + Reykjavik, Iceland + Ireland or England! There are a few surprise trips in the works as well for our TuesdaysTogether groups that we are excited to share in the months to come!
“Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.”
