WELCOME
I am so happy to see you here! My photography is moody and emotional – unique just like my clients. My clientele is a very specific type – those who recognize that if they want joyful, genuine portraits, then they need more than just pretty pictures. They need an incredible experience!
Which brings us
to step one...
Let’s be friends.

Weddings, Elopements & Portraits
With every session and wedding that I photograph, I want to capture the genuine story and vibe of the day. My photography style is generally moody, enhancing shadows and emotions. I’ve been slowly “perfecting” this process for over four years now and I can honestly say that after some trial and error, I have found that the core of my session experience best lies with people in love – couples, newborn babies, mamas-to-be, and those willing to bare their soul to my camera. I prefer the “lifestyle” approach and encourage interactions so that real emotions are captured. I want every couple I shoot for to be able to look back at their photographs and feel their wedding day again, not just see it. Please keep in mind, I only book a certain number of weddings a year, I suggest snagging your date while you can!
I just want to tell your story...
EDUCATION
WORKSHOPS & MENTORSHIPS
I have learned (and continue to learn) over the past four years – what has and hasn’t worked for me both as a small business owner and an artist. I have learned how to create an atmosphere for my sessions to accentuate my creative style, evoking genuine emotion from my clients, and branding myself amongst a highly competitive community. This has not been an easy feat but it has been extremely rewarding. There is so much to learn about who you are as an artist in this industry. Simply researching mentorship opportunities proves your desire to pursue this passion as a livelihood. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you with what you’re looking to grow, and provide the tools you’ll need to begin taking the next steps toward your career dreams.

"Her candid approach gives her photos a very genuine touch which I think is hard to find. She made us laugh and feel comfortable, and made it feel like we were hanging out with a friend."
"Her detail shots, eye, and knack for making people “open up” is incredible! We will cherish these pictures forever. She met every expectation with her professionalism, creativity, her ability to work so well with other vendors and timelines, to her true genius."
