I remember getting my first entry level pro camera at 14 (I'm 31 now). I got one every year for Christmas after that until I was 18 (typing this out made me even more aware of how lucky I am to have my mama!). Photography is almost secondhand to me. I can't remember a time in my life where I was not documenting the world around me. Before my first Nikon at 14, I had several point and shoots. I used disposable cameras. I played with my aunts camera as a kid, she'd take me on hikes around her cabin and we'd take photos of the flowers and squirrels. Photography has been a part of me since I can remember.

I started to establish myself in 2020 and officially opened my business in November of 2020. I quit my full time job in July of 2021 and never looked back. I say it a lot but this truly is not just a job for me - it's my favorite thing in the whole world.​

​

I love getting to meet people from all different walks of life and document and share their story in their own 'words' so to speak. I quite literally do not meet a stranger. I guess I have one of those faces or auras where people just feel comfortable telling you things, I have actually had clerks at gas stations give me their entire life story while I was buying my morning coffee. I love it. I love listening, I have always been a deeply empathetic person since I was a little kid.

 

As an artist, I use it as fuel for my work and how I approach weddings. I know how to read a room and make myself scarce when necessary but I will be your #1 hype gal when it is time for me to guide you through portraits. I genuinely want to get to know my clients, I want to hear about everything from your pets to what color shoes you're choosing to wear on your wedding day. Building connection is so important to me because it shows up on your wedding day in ways that are vital - it allows your friends and family to feel comfortable with me - in turn, it allows me to catch the real authentic moments you see folks going on about on the internet.
