I believe that every season of life is special,
and each one deserves to be documented with care, joy and love.

That’s why I photograph wedding days, growing families, small business owners, and high school seniors.

It’s the little moments with your best friends, spouse, and kids that make up your life—so let’s make sure we capture the memories while they’re happening! We’ll memorialize your life, authentically and with every emotion you bring to the table.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me watching Parks & Rec or Crash Landing on You (both are comfort shows in this house!). There will be garden fresh flowers in my house all summer long, and hot mugs of tea to share in winter. You also might be able to bribe me with a bag of Miss Vickie’s sea-salt-and-vinegar chips!

My photography style is vivid, true-to-life and colorful. I blend documentary (candid) style photos with more intentionally guided images- a blend of styles to capture every season of life!
