a girl and her camera

my photography has been an outward manifestation of an inward journey. the journey to be seen fresh and anew as the rising sun of each day. glowing in brilliance, with the past behind me, and the excitement of a future unknown. we all long to be seen through the lens of another that won’t judge us, but accept us for the vision and beauty that we possess, right here, right now. with every image, we carry the power to make the ordinary extraordinary, and breathe new life into that which otherwise may be overlooked.


i thank God for the unique opportunity to change the world around me by showing you the world that i see. my vision is an instrument of change, memorializing the precious details in life for all times. just like every image has angles that abound, each different from the rest, so too do people have many sides to them, unique in their own right. may all of our eyes be open enough to also see their beauty.

Cassie & Tom Tied the Knot!

March 28, 2009. Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Tom Lewandowski!! Yeah!!! Well, St. Louis weather is always tricky - and this wedding day was no different. We had sunshine (though a bit chilly) for the rehearsal, so of course we all said our prayers for sun for the next day. But, who are we to control the weather - smile. We began and ended the day in rain and overcast, but we had nothing but sunshine on the inside! The ceremony was held at Washington University Catholic Student Center, and the reception was at Giovanni's on the Hill. Both were great locations. My favorite photo spot was this amazing staircase lined with white christmas lights, and donning a baby grand piano in the center of the ensemble. I fell in love with that spot when I saw it at the rehearsal and could barely be pulled away from it before and after the ceremony. I'm a big fan of using what's around me and making it work - and despite the rain outside, that's just what we did. Here is a fun slideshow of the wedding! Enjoy!


God Bless!
