More about Me
I’m not sure what first sparked my love for photography.
Maybe it was my dad — always behind the camera, documenting every birthday, family gathering, and milestone. Maybe it was learning about my great-grandmother who was a photographer and had a photo studio at her house. Or maybe it was growing up alongside the internet — learning how powerful images could be in connecting people across the world.
I’ll probably never know for certain, but I like to think it was all of those moments woven together.
What I do know is this: I’ve always been drawn to capturing life as it unfolds — the laughter, the stillness, the in-between. Photography lets me preserve those fleeting, authentic moments wherever in the world they happen, and I can’t wait to tell the next story that finds me.

The Process
Here’s what you can expect
Consultation
Upon receiving your inquiry, we will set up a free video call or in-person meeting if you’re local so we can get a feel for each other and make sure we are both vibing before planning the shoot. We'll discuss your vision, preferences, and details for your elopement, couples session, or travel shoot.
Booking
After you've sent the 25% deposit, your date and session are reserved!
Shoot Day
Relax, have fun, and show up entirely yourself and I will do the rest documenting your experience from start to finish. After the shoot, I will deliver beautifully edited images that reflect the essence of your special day within two weeks.
Details
A few more details about
how I work
With a background rooted in storytelling and design, I approach every session with authenticity — and a touch of dreamy nostalgia. My focus is on genuine connection and honest emotion, not stiff poses or endless shot lists.
If you’re looking for a photographer to direct every move or wrangle 50+ family groupings, I’m probably not your person. I’m an introvert at heart — happiest documenting moments as they unfold naturally, not shouting across a crowd or arranging people into perfect formations. The magic, for me, lives in the real and the unposed.
If you’re planning an elopement with just you and your person, a micro wedding with fewer than 15 guests, or dreaming up a couples or family session — I’d love to hear from you.
Let’s make something beautifully honest together.
