Sunshine, a good cup of coffee, and music are a few of my favorite things—simple rhythms that also shape how I see the world. I’ve always been the one with a camera in hand, naturally documenting memories as they are.
I began my journey in landscape photography, learning to observe light, movement, and stillness. Over time, while planning my own wedding, I became deeply inspired by portraiture and the emotional depth of documenting love stories.
My husband and I are high school sweethearts. We spend our time on road trips, exploring new cities, and seeking out hidden gems along the way.
Before photography, I spent nearly a decade as a Montessori teacher. That experience shaped the way I see people—teaching me to slow down, notice details, and value the in-between moments that often hold the most meaning.
My work is rooted in observation, guided by light, and centered on connection—preserving stories that feel genuine, intimate, and human.
If you're anything like me, you've probably been searching high and low for a photographer whose work just speaks to you. All about capturing your day naturally unfolds, I try my best to photograph with intentionality. You deserve to relive the day, remembering those moments that make your heart yearn for it to last a little while longer.
Whether it's the joyous laughter shared among friends, a tender embrace, or the warm glow at dinner and take a moment to realize that all these people are here for you. Those are feelings I want you to hang onto. No cringey overly-posed photographs. Just you, the day, and your loved ones just the way you are.
While I lean into a natural, photojournalistic approach, I also love creating those dreamy, magazine-worthy shots. If this sounds like the way you would like your story told, then I might just be your girl.
