GRANDPA WAS DRIVING THROUGH TOWN ONE DAY
AND SAW GRANDMA, IN HER YELLOW DRESS
WALKING ALONG AT THE CORNER OF MAIN STREET.
My Grandfather went straight home to ask his cousin,
"who was that beautiful girl?"
Soon after, Hattie & Howard were dating and then married.
They were devoted to one another.
Hearing the stories of how my Grandparents treated each other over the course of their marriage gave me faith in the power of love from a young age.
My Grandfather went off to war and they wrote each other love letters. At one point during the war my Grandfather was the sole survivor of a plane that crashed in Burma. He carved my Grandma a heart necklace from the windshield of the wreckage. He also brought back the material of the parachute and from it my Grandmother made Christmas stockings – the whole family has stockings made from this sacred material.
The Gardenhouse represents deep, enduring,
powerful love.
One day Grandma was looking through a magazine and found a drawing of the gardenhouse.
She commented how cute it was and how handy it would be to have one out back...
A few days later my grandfather built it for her in the backyard.
My Grandmother's Gardenhouse had trellises, shutters,
window boxes full of coleus, curtains, a brick patio, and most importantly,
a cupola.
My goal in serving you
is to pay forward the gift
I was given,
by capturing your love
in the most beautiful way
possible and helping
PRESERVE YOUR LOVE FOR LIFETIMES TO COME
Finally, we want to bond with our couples and be a part of your life from engagement to first dog (or first baby) to 10 year anniversary vow renewal!

We do in home shoots, in nature shoots, newborn sessions, holiday minis, and family films. It is our joy!! Find us at Berry Basket Studios!!
Compass and Wild
Senior Pictures
We have so much fun behind the lens and such a passion for the journey that young humans go on as they leave home, that we decided to build a Senior Portrait Brand. At Compass and Wild we diverge from Weddings for a bit and remember that time when we were getting ready to emerge into our most authentic lives as brand new adults. We capture the joy of childhood and the excitement of young adulthood. We celebrate teen humans with glorious images of their most real selves bursting into their most true lives. Find us at Compass and Wild!!
