DOCUMENTING YOUR BEST MOMENTS AND FAVORITE PEOPLE IN A BEAUTIFUL, ARTISTIC WAY
IMAGERY THAT CAPTURES YOUR LOVE + CONNECTION

Your life is beautiful exactly as it is—i’d love to capture that beautifully, and artistically for you.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Photographer, Visual Storyteller, and Educator

THE EXPERIENCE
First things first—Inclusivity is a TOP priority for me, and every size, shape, color, and orientation are WELCOME here. LOVEISLOVEISLOVEISLOVE.
Through my laid-back approach, I’ll guide you through the entire process and help you feel relaxed, and comfortable.
I love to combine film photography alongside digital photography to bring in that touch of grain, wash of light across the film, and the nostalgic feel that only film has.
I’m here to photograph your story, love, and connection in a beautiful, artistic way.
Lastly, you are not just a number to me. Even though I may have shot hundreds of sessions, this is a new experience for you and I’m here to help you have a good experience.
CAPTURING REAL-LIFE MOMENTS AND TELLING MEANINGFUL STORIES.
A UNIQUE, ARTISTIC APPROACH OF GUIDED, DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY
Whether it’s an intimate wedding in your living room photographed on 35 mm film, or your baby’s first bath in the sink, I am here to highlight who you are, as you are, in a candid, natural, and authentic way.
Intimate weddings and lifestyle family sessions bring the focus back to what matters—YOU. We aren’t going to copy a pinterest checklist because your life is too unique for that. What I WILL do is help create an enjoyable experience, using a mix of guidance and observation, creating photos that feel true to who you are.
Let yourself be present on your wedding day, or enjoy the time you get to spend with your kids during family photos. It’s about the experience, and I’m here to highlight that for you.
Your life does not have to be perfect to be beautiful—it is beautiful because it is yours.
LET’S CREATE TOGETHER.
THE EXPERIENCE
NO. 1
NATURAL, CANDID, AUTHENTIC
A LOT OF PEOPLE WORRY THAT THIS MEANS WE WON’T GET ANY PHOTOS OF YOU LOOKING AT THE CAMERA. WE WILL TAKE TIME FOR THOSE, BUT THE MAIN FOCUS IS ON NATURAL MOMENTS, CONNECTION, MOVEMENT, AND DETAILS.
NO. 2
A MIX OF GUIDED POSING + OBSERVING
YOU DON’T HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO POSE YOURSELVES AND “ACT NATURAL” IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. I WILL GUIDE YOU INTO POSES THAT LOOK AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AND AUTHENTIC IN YOUR PHOTOS.
NO. 3
CLEAN EDITING WITH AN ARTISTIC TOUCH
GONE ARE THE DAYS WHERE I FOLLOW TRENDY EDITING STYLES THAT WILL BE LOOKED BACK ON WITH A CRINGE. I KEEP MY EDITS CLEAN, BUT ADD SOME ARTISTIC TOUCHES WITH LIGHTING, SUBTLE COLOR ADJUSTMENTS, AND A TOUCH OF FILM GRAIN FOR NOSTALGIA.
