How to describe myself? I'm laid back and love nature and exploring. If I could do anything in the world besides photography, I'd have a podcast. (Maybe someday!) I am a super curious, open and intuitive person.
I've always been an artist and wanted to do something artistic for my work. Interestingly, for the longest time, photography never crossed my mind as something that was for me. I got into some phone editing and sharing on Instagram but things really took off for me professionally in 2016.
I had just gotten my first Canon for Christmas and was wanting to take photos of my kids and nature. After I got married in 2015, I was invited to work with my wedding photographer. This began a five year partnership where I was second-shooting weddings and engagement sessions, editing galleries, and eventually helped my friend run and grow her dream business into the stunning wedding venue now called Little Lights on the Lane.
I absolutely fell in love with shooting weddings while working with my friend and knew I had found the dream I wanted to pursue (but really, it had found me). I started taking bookings in 2020 and never looked back!
What else about me? I'm a mom to two teen boys, lover of IPAs and whiskey, espresso, reading, the ocean and the mountains, and many more things. I'm down for adventures and love the outdoors. I'm super passionate about self-growth and I am eternally curious. I could talk about metaphysics, human development, nutrition, personal growth and life's mysteries forever and ever.
My pets are part of my family, too. Our loving goofy pitties, Luna & Oni. Our loving orange and black boy cats, Baby & Kili. Our cockatiel and budgie pair, Judy & Periwinkle. (I'd love to show you some pictures, thank you for asking.)
I think it's so cool I get to do this for a living because I really love it. If you've read this far, thanks for being here, and maybe I'll see you at your wedding!

What's it like to have me beside you on one of the
biggest days of your life?
My sister! I was also a bridesmaid
My job isn't just documenting your wedding. It's protecting your experience of it.
If the timeline shifts, if it starts raining, if a little chaos has entered the chat, I'm already thinking two steps ahead so you don't have to.
I'm there with guidance when you need it and space when you don't, so you can stop thinking about the photos and actually experience what's happening.
I hear the same things from my clients over and over again.
"She made us feel completely comfortable."
"She was such a calming presence."
"She made the whole day feel effortless."
"My husband actually enjoyed taking photos!"
"She felt like a friend."
In other words...You'll actually enjoy being photographed.
I create the space for people to feel completely themselves.
Head on over to read the Google reviews!

Messy real life, and...
Nature. Film. Movement.
Instant film cameras are so fun. I love the vintage feel. There's this instant nostalgia, even if it just rolled out of the camera a few seconds ago. I love that feeling, having something solid in your hands. It's like magic!
Traveling is cool like that, too. Hawaii has been my favorite place so far. Would totally love to live there, but I think I would miss the seasons changing. We hope to visit Europe next year as a family.
People are literally the best. I love connecting with people at whatever stage they're at in life and documenting what I see. That's what I'm really good at, and I hope my photos make you feel the wedding day.
I'm calm & professional behind the camera.
I really, really, care about what's most important to you on your wedding day.
I won't show up to your session or wedding with the intention to build my portfolio, grow my following, or tell MY story. My intention is always to serve YOU and to tell YOUR story.
I'm here to share my gifts with the world through photography, film video, and the power of stories.
I hope we laugh and connect in the process :)
