So, a few months ago I received an email from PDN (Photo District News) saying that someone (STILL have no idea who) nominated me to apply for the Rising Stars competition. I remember reading it over & over & over because I simply couldn’t believe it. With the help of some critical eyes, I submitted a brief portfolio to them. Then, a month ago….a month ago (it’s been torturous to not tell) I found out that I had actually been chosen. I still can’t believe it. Honestly. To the person that nominated me…I will FOREVER be thankful.
Back in college I would read PDN (and still do!) admiring all of their featured photographers. To be included in this incredibly special collection of photographers seemed so far off but I had hoped that, one day, it would happen. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my work-you’re like family to me.

A long time ago…I was a student aspiring to be a photographer in the wedding industry. I had a hard time being inspired by any photographers who I saw at the time but somehow, I came across Adam Barnes’ website. I was instantly floored. Honestly, I thought…if there’s anyone who I could aspire to “be” it was him. By the way, he doesn’t know this haha. His work is so soft, moving, and breath taking that I could look at it all day.
So, YEARS later…I finally got the chance to meet Adam, his gorgeous wife Lauren, and their new baby Beatrice. It was an honor to be welcomed into their home and share a little bit of time with them while taking some photos. Thank you and lots of hugs!
