My journey in photography began in 2006 when my husband and I got married and we started photographing weddings together. For 20 years, we traveled the globe photographing luxury weddings for couples we adore.
While my husband now works in marketing, I just can't give up this craft I love. Now, I photograph weddings with my brand, Clove & Kin, that I launched in 2012, and I continue to walk with classic couples through their wedding journeys with the same heart, care, and dedication as I always have.
I am a mom of two boys, a yogi and a foodie, and a mountain girl at heart. My favorite place is the back of a good horse and I'll never stop loving the view behind a camera. I am deeply thankful to all of my couples that invite me into their most precious milestones - I get to be a witness to the most powerful moments of my couples' lives, and I never take it for granted.
We are great fit for each other if you are marrying your best friend (just like I did), you are designing a marriage that is just as beautiful as your wedding, and you're not sure who will cry more on the wedding day - the groom or your dad.
If that sounds like you, my heart beats in time with yours, and I would be honored to capture it all.

I'm a sucker for anything timeless and refined. If it feels like classic mid-century style, I'm in! And if there's a heartfelt story behind a detail, I will melt like buttah.

My heart & soul are my two little boys, James & Samuel. I never imagined I'd be a boy mom, but I have a house full of trucks, Matchbox Cars, and rocket ships to prove it. I also have a pair of worn out running shoes from chasing after them on their scooters. They are DAREDEVILS.

If I'm not running after my boys, you'll probably find me in a yoga studio locating my zen. After all, I have two of the hardest jobs on the planet - being a parent and an entrepreneur at the same time. Yoga keeps me centered.

My husband, Jeff, and I traveled the world photographing weddings as The Youngrens for 17 years and made memories we'll never forget. While Jeff has set down his camera and now works in marketing, I still love weddings! That's why I have joined our Clove & Kin team to keep getting my wedding fix - I just can't stop!
