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.

Terrence & Latashia Ingram~A Journey Back To Each Other

I remember meeting Latashia almost a year ago as she began planning her wedding, and I was very excited by her excitement! Due to her future husband's service in the military we weren't able to have their engagement photos done until about 3 weeks before the wedding at Tower Grove Park (which is one of my new favorite places to shoot), but we got them done and had a great time. The weather was perfect, the company superb, and Terrence looked stunning in his gray pants and Tasha simply amazing in her heels (inside jokes).


Finally the big day came - the picture perfect outdoor wedding was planned, but true to form, the weather in St. Louis was unpredictable, but we still had a great day. The wedding was supposed to be outside at Logan Chiropractic School, however the rain came and despite our efforts to wait it out, the ceremony was moved into the auditorium and the show went on. The minister's message couldn't have been more on point as she spoke of marriage requiring flexibility, compromise and the willingness to still have a good attitude. This supportive crowd of family and friends, all decked in black and white, were nothing short of supportive as they celebrated with this very cute couple.


The reception was held at the Lumen, in downtown St. Louis, and was simply stunning in its decor, decked out by vendors such as BBJ Linen. And there was an amazing old school candy shoppe for the guests - truly no detail was left undone.

Here is a slideshow of our time together.

Enjoy!
