There has really never been another option. Making art and making others feel was the thing that I always pictured myself doing. You know when they ask what you want to be when you grow up in school? Well, I always answered something along the lines of art, or business. This has always been it for me. My career has evolved and changed over the years as I step further into my purpose. Whatever brought you here today, I hope to talk with you soon.

Blake shot our wedding and I could not recommend him more. The images he captured were absolute art--I burst into tears when I saw them because they were so BEYOND what I could have ever dreamed of. More than that, Blake is a lovely person to work with--so incredibly kind, thoughtful, communicative, and supportive and was such a delight on our wedding day, bringing a calm and peace to what can be a very chaotic day!

I cannot recommend Blake enough! We wanted someone to document the day as it unfolded without interfering in the natural beauty of the day. Blake understood what we were wanting and captured the ease of happiness of our day. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We cannot be happier with the pictures we have received and would absolutely recommend Blake to anyone!
If you are looking for a photographer for your special day, just choose him!!! Blake literally gave the day an eternal life by capturing all precious moments so well. All photos I received from him look like a gift from God, and I will treasure them for life. He is very easy-to communicate with, charming and enormously helpful...all of my guests loved him. Booking him for my wedding day was the best decision! Thank you so much, Blake! xx
