HI! I'M MOLLY, AND I PHOTOGRAPH THE BEAUTY OF

marriage and motherhood

Being a wife and a mom are my favorite roles. My love for both are constantly trickling down into my photography.

MARRIAGE

Weddings hold a special place in my heart. The joy, the anticipation, the excitement of a new journey - it's such a beautiful day to experience. Even more, I love marriage itself. Having your best friend through all of life's ups and downs is the best thing ever! Whether you're starting a family through marriage or celebrating years of life together, I would be honored to serve you as you begin or continue your beautiful journey side by side.

MOTHERHOOD

"The days are long but the years are short." I don't think a truer word about motherhood has ever been spoken. In the thick of the little years (as I'm still in myself), some days can honestly be exhausting. But when I photograph a senior I know that time is marching on, and my turn to have a senior will be all too soon.

I'd love to freeze just a little moment of time for you in a photograph.

I might be a good fit if you want a photographer who...

...balances a calm presence with encouraging direction. Someone able to find the sweet, beautiful moments amid the chaos of a wedding day or the chaos of young kids. Someone who trusts the process enough to reassure you wedding days always get behind somehow and it's going to be okay... or to let kids be kids while giving gentle direction. Someone who is known for capturing a person's true smile... from camera shy grooms, from kids who try to "cheese", and from senior boys who are only taking photos for their mom.

"Molly is seriously the best. She makes the whole experience, from start to finish, so easy on everyone. Most of the time when getting photos taken we feel awkward or camera shy, but Molly is so upbeat and relaxed behind her camera that we had the most fun ever while taking photos." - Taylor E.
