About Me
Hi, I'm Payton
I’m so glad you’re here. Now, please allow me to spill way too many details about my life!
I’m the kind of person that loves to romanticize every moment of my life. On rainy afternoons, I’ll pull my husband in to spin with me for a minute, even if we’re running late. During my nearly-daily runs to 7brew, I blast ‘00s divorced dad rock to make it feel like I’m in a coming-of-age movie. I let myself cry whenever I read something just a little too deep in a fantasy novel. My bookshelves are overflowing with more books that I can realistically keep up with, my phone’s camera roll is at least 75% just my cat, and every year I wonder if there’s a mystical place I can move to that’s perpetually autumn—because let’s face it, autumn is the superior season.
Growing up, I was obsessed with Barbie movies, specifically The 12 Dancing Princesses. It explains why I’m drawn to the dreamy, almost whimsical moments of life, and why I want my photos to reflect that as well.
I always wanted to find a love that felt like a fairytale, and I found that in my husband. Now, I want my photos to make you feel that same way. My goal is never just to take photos. I want to create imagery that feels emotional, cinematic, and deeply personal.
Because life is boring without whimsy, I decided to learn how to create it myself.
