A LITTLE ABOUT ME
In 2024, I fell in love with nature all over again while sitting in my garden that I created with the help of Mother Earth. Watching the birds, bees, butterflies, moths, and other critters; I learned an abundant amount about myself, others, and the planet. I rediscovered my inner childhood wonder.
I want to take that inspiration into 2025 to help tell your story and capture your most sacred moments. I have had the honor of documenting just about every phase of life and want to continue doing so honestly and meaningfully. Because every phase and every soul deserves to be celebrated.
✨ I have been doing this photography thing since I was a child. I shot my first wedding at age 19; I'm 36 now.
✨ I am an Enneagram type 2 and compassionate person - all the feels and all the acts of service and words of encouragement flowing
✨ My husband Craig and I eloped in Ireland seven years ago and have a joyful four-year-old named Windsor. He is my favorite second shooter and assistant, and I do believe we make some serious magic.
✨ If I weren’t an artist, I would probably be a forensic scientist or a wildlife biologist. I am equally as fascinated with the human mind as the animal mind.
✨ Being in nature, especially in a body of water, is my favorite feeling.
✨ I battle with body dysmorphia and bouts of depression/anxiety but have overcome a lot of it with therapy, medication and support. I’m really open about it, because it’s not something that’s talked enough about in our society.
✨ I love LOVE. And capturing it through my lens. Period.

FEATURED IN
I understand that most people aren’t used to spending time in front of a camera—and I promise, there won’t be any awkward prom poses here! My approach is all about giving you natural direction and guidance while ensuring you feel comfortable and truly yourself. That’s when the real love and genuine emotions shine through. There’s no right or wrong. Every person is unique, and the way you express your love is entirely your own. I’m obsessed with capturing that authenticity because I believe everyone deserves to feel loved and have their story beautifully preserved.
You deserve to have your moments captured in an authentic way.
my PHILOSOPHY
my FAV THINGS
My husband and I have been married since 2017 and have a beautiful daughter, Windsor. We love music, watching thrillers, home décor, breakfasts together, and a good game night. We are pretty obsessed with nature - studying it, looking at it, being in it. We value deep relationships, making people feel seen and comfortable. That's the good stuff!
Being in nature, true crime podcasts, long baths, and big cups of coffee are my jam!
WHAT INSPIRES me
Every wedding and every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again. I am inspired by love, good energy, nature, music, art, food, movies, and books.
What drives me most is giving people something they can treasure for a lifetime. Now that Craig and I are parents, that passion has grown even stronger. We’ve come to appreciate how fleeting time is and how important it is to preserve every moment.
BEHIND THE LENS
As your photographer, my top priority is ensuring you feel at ease in front of the camera, especially for the most important phases of your life. I’m dedicated to capturing moments in a way that feels genuine to who you are. From helping the day or shoot run smoothly to stepping in to help when needed—I’m here to support you every step of the way. Words of encouragement are my gift and I am ready to share it with you.
(Here’ me, 7 months pregnant —proof that nothing will stop me!)
Rain, hail or shine, we won’t miss a beat.
