about the experience

Through my love for nature, the stories told in books and cinema, and an innate need for connecting with others, I curate the museum of every couple's story through my camera lens. I am the perfect person for those who crave connection, intimacy, and intention. For those that value photos because they know that's all we'll have left someday. Because time will pass, we'll forget, our loved ones will leave, and photographs hold those memories. I'm the girl for those that want their wild love stories told amidst a grand adventure, and want their photographer to feel like a long lost best friend.

While I do include classic poses, you can expect your gallery to consist of candid and authentic moments from your big day. I'll never leave you wondering "but what do I do with my hands?" and will direct you however is needed to create a genuine experience that will capture your love. I see the world as an emotional Pisces girly pop who cries over Hallmark movies, romanticizes everything, and wants to use my ability to create art to tell other's love stories. Excited yet? Let's connect.

Hang out with my family, get outside, read a good book, or plan our next trip!
