My Story

One thing that has stayed consistent throughout my life is that I love being creative. Before pursuing photography, I worked as a freelance artist and a nanny. These jobs were temporary because they didn’t provide a promising career path. I wanted to find a profession that would allow me to use my creativity, and not have to worry about paying rent. My good friends suggested I try photography. I wasn’t sure about the idea at first, but I’m so glad I took up their offer. I spent many hours educating myself, found a mentor, and assisted as many weddings as I could. I officially started my business in November, 2021. From that time, I’ve been working hard to create a loving and enjoyable experience for my clients!

Why Weddings and Family Photography?

I’m fascinated with beauty. I've dedicated my time to grab hold of beautiful things, and preserve it with tools like composition, contrast and storytelling. For me, people are the most beautiful thing to photograph. I do love the majesty of a wide and overwhelming landscape, but my connection with the image isn’t as strong as it is with people. While I’ve chosen to photograph weddings and families as my job, my camera will be in my backpack for personal vacations with beautiful landscapes! 

I find relationships, emotion, and experiences most interesting and personal to me. I like to interact with my subjects. I like to work together, to create pieces that feel new and stylish, yet still have a sense of authenticity. 

Non-Photography Facts About Me

I am recently married to my wonderful husband, Lucas. It’s been such a happy time and I’ve loved having a more personal perspective into the wedding world!

My favorite color is red. It’s such a strong, powerful color! I love working it into my compositions if I can.

I can make a pretty good french silk pie.

If I’m not photographing a wedding or editing a gallery, you will most likely find me with loved ones or working hard in some other creative outlet. Painting, leading worship with my friends, going on hikes, and spending time with my family are just a few ways I love to spend my free time!
