I'm Vanessa, and I am thrilled you are here. I could ramble on all about me but truth be told, the conversation would end up turning to photography anyway. Here is what you need to know: I am the luckiest person in the world. I am married to the kindest, sweetest person I know. I have the most loving family. I have the world's best friend. I love my fur babies (2 kitties and a puppy). I love to travel! I have a degree in health sciences, but after my degree I decided to pursue what I love. I told you it would end up being about photography again!
So, whether you're a fellow traveler seeking to commemorate a special chapter or a couple ready to embark on a new adventure, we're here to lend our creative vision and unwavering passion to your tale. Join us as we navigate the intricate dance of light, emotion, and surroundings to craft images that resonate with the very essence of who you are.
My Photography journey through the years
Have you ever had a moment that felt like it was straight out of a movie? For me, it was my senior year of high school when I had just started dating my husband, Hunter. After school, we’d often spend time together, and one afternoon, we found ourselves dancing in his garage. Suddenly, his dad opened the garage door to park, catching us mid-spin. Instead of stopping, Hunter just shrugged, smiled, and kept spinning me. It was such a small moment, but I replayed it in my mind over and over that night, grinning like a fool in love as I tried to fall asleep.
That moment is the heart and soul of why I do what I do. It’s those fleeting, magical seconds that make life so meaningful. Four years later, when we got married, our first dance was to "Photograph" by Cody Fry. The lyrics perfectly capture the essence of that moment and now my dream.
This is why I’m passionate about photography—capturing those cinematic, emotional moments that make life unforgettable.
Noticing small moments that become everlasting memories
What Drives me
"I would make this moment last for hours;
If I had my will, time would just stand still;
Wait for me until I find some magic film;
To take a photograph and live inside."
-Cody Fry

"Vanessa has been our family photographer for 4 years. She has a great eye for family candid shots. She is especially wonderful with young children and knows how to get them to smile and have a good time. She is patient and kind. She works quickly and comes prepared to handle our BIG family. She puts heart into all the edits and you can tell as the sessions go on that she got THE shot 😉 We hope Vanessa will be our family photographer for many to come."
