About Me

My name is Pier. (As in "Pier 1" or "take a long walk off a short..."). Having an unusual name has been quite a conversation starter and for me that's a great thing. I'm not naturally super outgoing, but my favorite thing in life is to make genuine connections.

I spend my days with my husband of 25 years (what a ride that's been!), three endlessly fascinating and entertaining teen girls and my baby boy who is rapidly becoming a "tween." I am constantly reminded that life is beautiful and messy, silly and tender, exasperating and hilarious all at the same time. That's what fuels my deep appreciation for photography. Life changes continuously; today's certainties will slip our minds tomorrow. Photos can pin a few of those details down--a certain dress that must be worn every day, a toothless smile, the confident wild abandon of a toddler, the creeping self-awareness of an adolescent--so that our hearts can revisit them as the present shifts into the future.

I would be so honored to spend time with your family and have the privilege to chronicle through photos some pieces of who you are right now.
