favorites & fun facts

I adore those heart-skip-a-beat butterflies you get when you look at your person. The unposed realness that makes up your unique and quirky love story. The raw, authentic, and candid. I’m so not about stiff, awkward poses here – I’m talking: rolling around in the sand while you make out and fall even deeper in love types of shoots. I’m saying: kick off the heels, shotgun a beer, and let’s chase the sunset types of wedding days. You in?

I’ll learn your story and dig deeper to create images that feel true and genuine to who you two are, not just stick you in some cheesy poses found on Pinterest. Let’s make some freaking magic happen and go on an adventure, I’m down for it all!

I’m not going to be some random vendor you hire just to check something off your wedding to-do list - nope!

I’ll be your support, your guide, your stress-relief, and the third-wheel-hype-girl-cheerleader we all need every day! I’ve got youuu.

This is so much more to me than just a business exchange. This experience is about making you feel truly cared for through every step of the process. This is trust, vulnerability, and just straight up FUN.

Squeezy-hug thank you for being here and trusting me with your memories. If you’re already feeling like “omg it’s gotta be her,” then you’re SO my person! Annnd, if this isn’t already the most extensive photographer bio turned dating profile you’ve seen, how about we just grab coffee or margs soon?! I’ll be the blonde one in the comfiest chair and a hug waiting for you!

your love deserves the most

I’m probably cozied up editing with fuzzy socks on and a bowl of vegan mac and cheese on hand. Most days, though, I'm exploring off-the-beaten-path spots with my couples or belting out Britney Spears on the dance floor. I’m an adventurous homebody who believes nap time is a mandatory part of the day. I’m passionate about all things business, keeping my plants alive for longer than a month, spending time with my family, and traveling somewhere new before I can unpack from the last trip!

if you’re looking for me,

a little more

My heart is full, my mind is open, and my bags packed for all of the best moments in life. Here's what you need to know to double check that we really are meant to be bffs (hint: we are!)

mac & cheese

I very well maaay have a stash of 40+ boxes of vegan mac and cheese that I consume more often than not... like, most meals a week!

shawn

He is my support system, my best friend, and I can always count on him for late night Taco Bell. We've been together for 7 years and we're newly engaged!

family

I'd truly be nothing without my family. They've supported every dream I've ever had and they're the reason I am who I am today! I'm forever grateful for them!

love stories

It's a freaking honor to get to witness so many love stories each year! I love my wild, fun, quirky adventurous couples so insanely much!

teaching

After 11+ years of photography experience, it's been a huge passion of mine to share what I know about business and photography to dreamers who want to grow their biz!

travel

I probably haven't even unpacked my last bag before packing for my next trip! I'm always up for an adventure and seeing the world! Take me anywhere!

let's chat

i'd love to hear about your big dreams

Come say hi!
