Free Spirit, Free Bird

personal, RTP

I remember being a little girl… a little shy, quiet girl with hair almost as long as she was tall.  And as I finally grew into that long head of hair, I remember desiring to be this free spirit.  I didn’t think it was me.  I thought was too practical.  Too straight-laced.  But somewhere in the last few years, someone called me a free spirit.  And then a while later, someone said it again.  And again.  And before I knew it, René Tate was a free spirit.  I’m still not sure if that’s true.

Check out this neat little gift that one of our brides, Emma, got me.  She’s always asking for business cards to hand out, and I often don’t have my card case on me.  Fail!  I know.  So she got me this super nifty card case that she said reminded her of me: a free spirit (wannabe).  ;-)

Thanks, Emma!  I love you.  How about we shoot your wedding this weekend?

Get to know me

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
