EVERYONE DESERVES A SEAT AT THE TABLE.
a general psa:
I fell in love with photography as a child. My family always had photo albums of ev-ery-thing. When my dad passed away, my little sister and I each got a binder that contained every picture, card, drawing, and craft that we had given him through the years, and I treasure that more than anything I own. I understand the power behind photographs. I started photography as a hobby but in December 2018 after much bribery, I decided to make it something more. I am so thankful for the way my business has evolved and am continuously blessed by the people I have encountered.

Ope. Here it is.
you are deserving of preserving.
I think it's so important to portray the emotion behind the images, and capture the true authenticity of your subject(s). I focus on getting to know you so that I can convey exactly how you would want your story told, and you can bet your booty I will absolutely still check in on you after our session together is finished. I love nature inspired tones - rich greens, muddy browns, deep reds, etc. I am on trend with the candid photography and strive to capture people as their raw, authentic self. My favorite people to work with are those who are down to earth, and don't take life too seriously. I'm not the photographer for everyone for sure. I'm for those who love the in between genuine moments, who prefer capturing emotion over technicality, who are non-traditional and like to have a little fun in order to get a stellar shot.
FOR YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR MOMENTS ARE WORTH BEING PRESERVED. You deserve to be seen & appreciated.

I made the hardest and best decision for my family, to scale back to focus on what first made me tick - the intimacy. The smaller moments. The people.
We cut out weddings, and now I am glad to serve people in their everyday life while still celebrating my own.
THE BEST DECISION
2024
I was in my element. My husband and I were shooting weddings, with our dream clients, in amazing locations, but I missed my family.
BLAST OFF
2023
I was now doing weddings ALL the time. COVID hit and weddings were changed forever. I remember shooting a backyard wedding, as the couple kissed, cheers erupted from all the surrounding porches of the neighbors on all sides of their house. I was changed, everything deserved this level of intimacy and admiration.
OK. I LOVE THIS.
2020
I was getting the hang of things, getting clientele, gaining confidence, I started shooting weddings. I dd it scared and immediately fell in love.
PUT A RING ON IT
2019
After much bribery, I decided to try my hand at paid photography.
