I was sixteen when my mom bought me my very first camera for Christmas.
I was always a creative kid, so at the time it didn’t feel like a huge, life-changing moment — just another way to create. I started photographing my family, the people around me, the everyday moments that didn’t feel important back then… but would later become everything.
At nineteen, I had my first child, Alan. Naturally, my camera followed him everywhere. I documented his tiny details, the quiet moments, the loud ones, and all the in-between. Photography became my way of holding onto time when everything felt like it was moving too fast.
As life got busier, I stepped away from my camera for a while. And in that space, I realized how much I missed it — how much of me I had left behind. So I picked it back up, not just as a hobby, but as a way to tell stories again.
And this time, I knew exactly why I was doing it.
Why I Photograph the Way I Do
I love breaking the mold.
I don’t believe love stories should look the same, feel staged, or fit into a box. The best moments happen when you forget the camera is there — when I step back, become the quiet third wheel behind the lens, and let you be fully present with each other.
Those small, split-second moments?
The glances. The laughter. The way your hands find each other without thinking.
That’s where the bigger love story lives.
What You Can Expect When You Work With Me
My style is timeless, heartfelt, and warm — images that feel real now and will still feel real years from now.
More than anything, I want you to feel:
Seen
Comfortable
Happy
No pressure. No forced poses. Just space to be yourselves while I capture your story in a way that feels true to you.
The Stories I Love Telling Most
I specialize in couples, weddings, and elopements — especially for those who value connection over perfection and emotion over expectations. Whether you’re planning something intimate or celebrating big, your story deserves to be documented honestly.
A Little More About Me
I’m a Washington-born girl with a deep love for storytelling, golden moments, and really good coffee.
(My go-to? A white coffee white chocolate mocha with salted caramel, always.)
If you’re looking for a photographer who sees the beauty in the in-between and captures love the way it actually feels, I’d be honored to tell your story.
