About
I'd like to think my photos speak for themselves in terms of standing out.
I personally love storytelling! I love everything that goes into making an image tell the story you're wanting to share. From helping with hair, make up, and wardrobe, to finding the perfect location and props. I highly enjoy being creative with my clients and having fun.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I first love to hear about what kind of story you would like to tell with your images. Do you have any photo inspiration that you can send my way so I can get a feeling for exactly what you're looking for. Then I will ask you what you're needing these images for (portrait for work, senior pictures etc.) We will chat some more about personal preferences of location, wardrobe, hair, and then set up a day and time to meet to start shooting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
