My love for photography grew out of the same thing that grounds me in life: connection. The quiet, meaningful, “this is exactly where I’m meant to be” moments. Raising kids, building a life with the person I love, and watching time slip by faster than I ever imagined has taught me how important it is to slow down and preserve the beauty of every season. Photography became my way of doing just that — of holding onto the fleeting moments we never want to lose.

My approach is emotional, gentle, and rooted in storytelling. I don’t photograph perfect poses; I photograph connection. The way hands reach for each other, the soft in-between moments, the natural laughter, and the feeling of being fully seen. I want your photos to feel like memories — warm, honest, and filled with heart.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with a coffee in hand, soaking up fall weather, or admiring my favorite hydrangeas. I love to decorate and style — creating beautiful spaces, thoughtful details, and aesthetic touches that feel comforting and intentional. I’m also happiest when traveling, hiking, or discovering places that feel almost unreal — landscapes that make you breathe deeper and remind you of the beauty in every corner of the world.

The Beginning of a Lifelong Love

Ever since I was in high school, I have always been fascinated with photography. I got my first point and shoot camera at 14, while friends were taking photos on their phones I had my camera with me at all times, I documented everything with that little canon camera. If I could go back in time and tell that teen that one day that passion could and would turn into a real job that I would love and look forward to doing everyday I would! I would have told her to never doubt herself in what she loved!

Whether I’m documenting couples, families, or the intimate story of your wedding day, my heart is always in the same place: capturing emotion, connection, and the moments you’ll want to relive again and again.

If you’re looking for photos that feel warm, deep, and genuinely you, I would be honored to tell your story.
