Photography is more than a career. It's a calling and a purpose.
Being a photographer is about connecting with people, listening to them, and creating photography as a way to bring more joy into their world. I’m grateful to everyone who chooses to step in front of my camera.
My mission is to create photographs of your relationship and the moments you spend together.

Experience
In 2008 I graduated with a Bachelor's in Visual Communications and became a photographer at a corporate studio.
In 2012 I left the studio and opened my own business.
Before all this, I did film photography for fun on the side of my day job and was a commercial assistant in college. I have over a decade of experience as a photographer.
Laughter
My clients often say I'm a calm and confident person. They love my quirky sense of humor. I say some silly things to get you to have natural laughs and expressions during your photos.
I also understand when to slow down and help you savor the more serious and romantic moments on your wedding day.
Life
My photography business is my full-time career, and I'm forever thankful because it's allowed me to be there as a mom and a wife too.
When I have time I love going on road trips. I enjoy reading a variety of books. I was an algebra tutor in college. I'm a geek for geology and Star Trek. Hiking, bonfires, listening to an eclectic mix of podcasts and music are also things I appreciate.
