My photography journey started in high school when I picked up my first film camera at an estate sale. I had no idea what I was doing, I just mostly loved vintage things and thought it looked cool (I also collect vintage typewriters!). I was hooked. I fell in love with the depth and intentionality of shooting on film, and I aim to emulate that timeless style in my digital work. I started out with travel photography, but my passion for portraiture and timeless romance led me to specialize in elopements, destination weddings, and intimate couples shoots.
When I decided to pursue photography as my career, I knew I was going down the path that I feel most connected to at my core, and doing the thing I feel happiest doing! I believe that part of how God made me is with the ability to feel things deeply and connect with the emotions of others in my work as a result. I can't wait to get to know you. Meeting new friends because of photography is my favorite thing! Drop me a line and let's chat :)

Connection, not perfection.
I believe the best photos come when you feel completely yourself—relaxed, joyful, and connected to the moment. That’s why I focus on building a genuine connection with each couple. My favorite shots are ones that capture the candid, raw, true-to-life moments that you could blink and miss, but that make up a lifetime.
Low-maintenance, high emotion.
I'am a storyteller at heart, inspired by my love of literature and cinema. I put my whole heart into every part of my work. I want my work to reflect my heart for what I do as well as all the real emotion and love I'm capturing in the lens. I also fully believe taking photos should be fun and relaxed. "Stressful" is not the vibe we want when you think about your wedding or photoshoot! I'll always make sure you're comfortable and having a good time.
Quality over quantity.
I love to take a lot of pictures. But I also love to slow down and be intentional about them. In my book, having a those few incredible images with the wow factor that you come back to admire again and again will always be worth more than hundreds of photos that sit in a folder you never look at.
Built-in nostalgia.
I'm a sucker for the timeless look and feel of film photography; there's nothing quite like it! My style emulates this look so your photos will be gorgeous and timeless, never outdated. I also love to shoot on real 35mm film, just ask! ;)
Photography is silent storytelling, and I want to help my clients' stories come to life in a real, authentic way that is unique to them. I want them to feel beautiful and experience joy each time they look at their pictures. My goal is to create images that really capture the essence of who my clients are. I also aim to stretch myself creatively and inspire my clients to do the same, because I believe some of the most valuable photos we can have are the ones we're not looking at the camera, because we're feeling and living that moment as it happens. I also want my clients to have a blast with the whole experience. Photos should be filled with real joy, and I will do everything I can to make sure your time with me is not stressful or exhausting, but fun and exciting. :)
