My love for photography came from a love of people, their stories, and the desire to capture them in a way that feels real and authentic.

I've always loved observing. I was a shy kid, so a lot of my time was spent watching the room I was in rather than participating. Thankfully I've grown out of that and am very much an extrovert now, but I'm grateful that those years taught me how to notice the little things.

I think that's what I love most about photography. Every couple, family, and person I photograph has a story that's completely their own. My goal is never to force moments or fit you into a box. I want to capture you as you are. The connections, personalities, emotions, and little details that make your story yours.

As the daughter of a pilot, I've been lucky enough to travel from a young age. I was always taught that the world is so much bigger than our little corner of it, and getting to experience different places and cultures has shaped so much of who I am. I've traveled to places like Honduras, Italy, the French Riviera, Monaco, Bruges, London, Germany, and Luxembourg, and every trip leaves me inspired in a new way.

I'm especially drawn to European architecture, charming old streets, local cafés, beautiful design, and the slower pace of life you find in so many places that I wish I could bring home. Travel has taught me to appreciate the beauty in everyday moments. It's also given me a deep appreciation for people and the unique stories we all carry.

Bride and groom share a passionate kiss on the dance floor at their wedding reception.

I married my best friend on September 13, 2025. I didn't know it was possible to be that happy, relaxed, & in love on such a big day. Even with the chaos that naturally comes from a wedding day, there was such a calmness in our hearts. The photos I love more than anything are the ones where that feeling is so evident.

When it comes to your wedding day, I want it to feel like you. I want to capture the big moments, but also the little interactions, happy tears, laughs, and all the things you might miss in the whirlwind of the day. My goal is to create photos that feel personal, fun, and timeless. Photos that bring you right back to how it all felt!!
