About
I am passionate about the humanity and compassion I infuse into my work and making genuine connections with the people who choose me as a Photographer, Coordinator, or Officiant. I am inspired to create images that break down societal norms and show that all kinds of people and love are valid and beautiful. My style is modern, natural, romantic, whimsical, candid, and bold.
Connecting with people of all backgrounds, travel, and creative expression are the best parts of my job!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Let's have a conversation and go over your vision and some logistics. We can start there.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been photographing semi-professionally since 2011 and professionally since 2015. I have a minor in photography, and have taken classes and workshops over the years to hone in on my craft.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
For some types of photography I do, and others I work with my clients based on the type of job and their budget.
How did you get started in this business?
I started shooting photos for my college newspaper and was honored to win a few media awards for my work that covered local festivals. Then, my college friend got engaged back in 2011 and wanted to have engagement photos taken by someone she felt comfortable with. That was my first paid gig.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All kinds! Individuals, couples, families, LGBTQ+, pets, real estate, Etsy shop owners, etc...I am very inclusive!
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love shooting engagements. Those sessions are usually my favorite because I enjoy exploring our locations and hearing a couple's telling of their love story. They are so tender and intimate!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Many pro's can take a nice photo and use top of the line cameras. Look for a pro that you can connect with and build a working relationship with. My favorite clients work with me throughout the year for many different projects or photo needs and I love to foster those connections.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
I think customers should have an idea of their vision and budget when reaching out.
