With 6 years of wedding 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.

True love from the start...

I started using a camera when i was 2 (before the days of iphone when every 2 year old knew how). I remember my dad telling me to "put the camera down and enjoy the moment" when i was 12 years old in disney because i wanted to capture everything. I remember thinking "But this is how I enjoy the moments".

my favorite things...

These are a few of

my hubby, main squeeze, lover boy

my beautiful angel girl

the essentials

(he is my main second shooter, so you may see him around!)

I was always that work-hard-overachiever-type. I went to pharmacy school to pursue the career i thought made sense. After 5 years, 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 could feel the biggest feelings with people and capture it forever. Not only that, but I could stand beside them through it 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.

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.

of course you'll get the "look at me and smile" shots (the ones for grandma!), but i want you to experience the moment while i take care of the rest.

my photography journey didn't start in a classroom or end with a capstone. 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 have to learn to speak with body language. 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 care about.
