With 8 years of wedding photography experience and over 4 years of experience working at a wedding venue before that, I’ve learned the ways of weddings- where they succeed, where they snag, and more importantly how to make them fill your soul. I want that for you, and I'll help you get there.

I like the idea of creating something that will last generations, and it’s important to me to document moments in a way that will share the story 50 years from now.

Yours, Truly.

I started using a camera when i was 2. when i was 12, I remember my dad telling me to "put the camera down and enjoy the moment" because i just wanted to capture everything.

True love from the start...

I remember thinking "But this is how I enjoy the moments". i guess some things never change!

my Home

welcome to

my hubby, main squeeze, lover boy...also my main second shooter

my beautiful tiny lover girl

i'm always cooking for those i'm close to. it's definitely a passion to host and create new meals

i'm in my garden 80% of the summer, and have over 100 exotic jungle plants in my greenhouse!

my photography journey didn't start in a classroom. well, not a collegiate classroom. it did begin in a classroom in honduras, with little eyes watching me from their rooms. my first exposure to life outside of america opened my eyes to how much more was out there. not things or experiences per se, but how love speaks. when you don't speak the same language, you find another way...the woman sitting outside the temple in india, playing "monos" with mi amiguito in the dominican, the boy who brought me a live crab in honduras, or the girls who wouldn't let go of my hand in africa. this is how love speaks. Connection is about so much more than words, and that's what I seek out and capture.

I went to pharmacy school to pursue the career i thought made sense. 5 years in, I finished my hardest year, and quit. i realized that my aspirations were too small. I wanted to serve people, on my own terms, in my own way. no limitations.

becoming a photographer opened a world i didn't know existed- where i'd be invited to stand beside people through life's biggest moments and be a voice of peace. I truly feel like i won the lottery to meet as many beautiful souls as i do, who value me as a whole and trust me in those moments.

what i truly want is to give you photos that transport you back to the feeling you had in the moment they were taken.

the "hozier yells". those moments that you can't put into words, but they make you feel alive- like when you're announced for the first time, or when you hear your baby's first cry. where you aren't necessarily thinking, but you're feeling.

i want you to experience the moment while i take care of the rest.
