Before I started documenting love stories...

I was tucked away in a cubicle for eight years and daydreaming about having a creative career. Not exactly fulfilling! The pandemic was the catalyst for finding my passion. As the world shut down and there was nothing to lose, I dusted off my old camera and dove head-first into the craft. Within five months, I worked my first wedding, and I realized this was exactly where I needed to be. Now, I find myself falling more in love with documenting love stories each time I have the honor to do so.


When we work together, I’m more than just your photographer. 

I'll be cheering the loudest during your vows and getting right in the middle of the action on the dance floor with your favorite people. If it’s a couples shoot you’re after, expect lots of laughs, play, and cozying up with your love like the camera isn’t even a thing. I’m excited for you and your love, and we’re going to have a blast celebrating this special time of your life together.

Honoring the moments that matter most

I believe everyone looks their best when they’re documented in their natural state, which is why you won’t have to worry about awkward posing or feeling stiff in front of the camera.

I avoid this by taking the time to learn about how you interact as a couple, play connection games (really!) and guide you through the session. I’ll ask you about your hobbies, vibe, love languages.

This is not only how you’ll gain trust in me as your photographer, but it helps me pull out and capture real emotions in front of the camera so you can experience how special your love is all over again each time you flip through your photos!

We don’t do fake and forced images around here!

My priority is our connection and turning your love into art.

Adding a hint of warmth and softness that accentuates the glow of your love

Editing that stays true to color. This includes keeping skin tones accurate! 

Paying special attention to composition and incorporating the beauty of the environment
