Introduction

HEY there! I’m so happy you made it to my little corner of the internet. I’m your smalltown Midwest native with a love for adventurous souls and tender love stories. Most days, you’ll find me tucked into a local café with a seasonal latte in hand, reflecting on the beautiful connections I get to capture. Photography is more than my career, it’s where my passion and purpose meet one another. I believe in documenting your love in its most authentic form so that years from now, you can hold onto the feeling of how it all unfolded. Beyond the lens, I’m someone who delights in simple yet tasteful pleasures (like my espresso), spontaneous adventure, and meaningful conversations that linger well after they’re over... follow below for “Fragments, curiosities, and the oddities that make me… me.”

~ I’m obsessed with the Fall season maybe for the feeling of change in itself. I find the atmosphere around me coming to life with the moody tones, fuzzy sweaters, crackling fires, and nostalgic magic. Like one long sensory lullaby. My favorite month being October (conveniently when all my lovely peeps want to tie the knot).

~ I have personally traveled to 23 different states (14 of those my business has visited) including the island of Puerto Rico! This past year I also lived out my dream of seeing Europe for the first time by adventuring across the Atlantic to Portugal, and was genuinely transformed by the cultural beauty I encountered.

~ Something about old things pull at my heartstrings. The smell of aged books lining solid mahogany shelves or a bit of static from my record player; point and shoot cameras with low battery life, or just watching home videos from my childhood. I love exploring thrift shops and discovering one-of-a-kind pieces to elevate my personal wardrobe. This deep desire to reach for something that “once was” has driven me to pursue the art of film photography and its authentic character. I now offer 35mm film in my wedding packages.

~ If I wasn’t documenting stories + creating art 24/7, I would highly consider becoming a travel agent because I’m a sucker for finding the best views, tastiest food, and most scenic route. Incorporating travel into my photographic career is the most rewarding experience I could ask for.

~ I just welcomed my first baby (a little boy) January 2026 and I’m so thrilled to experience motherhood. I can’t wait to view the world through his eyes and allow this beautiful journey to shape my artistry and how I view life!

~ My dream is relocate to the mountains one day to raise my family and surround myself by things that inspire me daily. I dream of peaceful countryside with acres full of chickens, horses, a garden, and a wrap around porch so I can watch the sunset sink beneath the horizon whenever I please.

Vision

I’ve always been drawn to what exists just beneath the obvious.

The glance that lasts half a second longer than expected. A hand resting on a shoulder without thought. The way a room can change when someone walks in. Laughter that softens. The quiet after the music stops.

These are the things I’m looking for.

Not because they are perfect, but because they are revealing.

My approach begins with paying attention. I want you to feel free enough to forget there is a camera in the room, while I remain curious about everything unfolding around you. I’m watching for rhythm, texture, tension, tenderness, humor. The strange little details that give a day its own language.

There is intention in the way I photograph, but little interest in manufacturing what isn’t there. I’ll guide when guidance is useful, create space when it isn’t, and step in when there is something worth shaping. The result is work that feels considered without feeling contrived.

I want your photographs to have an atmosphere of their own. Rich, dimensional, and honestly.. a little imperfect. Images that don’t simply tell you what happened, but bring you back into the sensation of being there.

And while I’ll always make photographs of the things you already know you’ll want to remember, I’m equally interested in everything you couldn’t have planned for.

The expression your father made when he saw you. Your friends losing themselves on the dance floor. The chaos in the kitchen. Your dress gathered in your hands as you move through a doorway. Someone laughing in the background of a photograph they were never meant to be in.

I want to leave room for all of it.

Because I don’t think a meaningful photograph needs to announce itself.

Sometimes, it is the image you almost overlooked, the one that asks you to stay for a second longer. That eventually becomes the one you cannot imagine your story without.
