Hi, I'm Whitney. I have been photographing families and weddings for 9 years now. Throughout that time I've learned a lot about the human experience and the beauty in the simplest moments. This was amplified after becoming a mother. Now, every moment seems like the most important moment in my life and I wish I had a way to freeze them all. That's why I love what I do. Lifestyle photography is just that, a way to freeze the little moments in life. A hug from an old friend at your wedding. The way your son looks when you make breakfast together each morning. Even the color of the trees during your morning walks with your dog in your neighborhood. Each one of these things is significant in it's own way, and it is truly an honor to capture those for my clients and turn them into works of art that can be displayed for years to come.
Growing up in rural Nebraska I day dreamed a lot about seeing places I'd only read about in books. Far away lands I imagined I'd never see in real life, but it was certainly fun to pretend. Never in a million years would that little farm girl have believed she'd travel to over 20 counties and more cities and towns than she knew existed at the time. It all started with a solo backpacking trip the year after I married Tri. Being the amazing and supportive husband he is, when I expressed my desire to take a trip alone he helped make it happen for me. It was one of those life experiences that I thought I needed to "find myself" or whatever people tell themselves to justify a trip like this. A month later I returned a changed woman, that trip shaped me into the photographer I am today, so in turn I guess I did "find myself." The people I met along the way showed me how to tell a story with my lens. That trip lit a fire inside my soul that can never be put out. Until my last day on this earth I will be counting down the days to my next adventure. I think travel has made me a better wife, mother, and photographer. The same reasons I long to be in a new place fuel my love of taking photos. With every new client, it's like being let inside their story in an exciting and intimate way. That's why I feel so lucky to do what I do. I really truly hope we get to meet someday down the road and explore this beautiful thing called life together.
