The work & The Why
My approach blends artistic awareness with emotional attentiveness. While I keep a pulse on modern trends, I prioritize what endures: the honest exchanges, subtle connections, and meaningful details that give your wedding its soul.
I photograph with intention and restraint, creating images that outlast passing styles and continue to resonate over time.
Before photography, I spent years as a registered nurse—a career that shaped how I see people, read emotion, and remain calm in the midst of unfolding stories.
In 2018, I stepped away from nursing to pursue wedding photography full time alongside my husband, carrying that same care and presence into every wedding I document.
My Why
So, What's with the sailboat?
-
The TLDR: The sailboat for me was supposed to be my first tattoo, but then I chickened out.
The deeper story is:
For me, the sailboat represents the tender, vulnerable times in my life. The times when I never thought I would grow out of who I was, times I was scared I wouldn't overcome some of my darkest days, and all the times I felt weak, insignificant, and not special and how in those tumultuous seas, God was sovereign and by His grace, I overcame.
-
It goes without saying that we all have our seasons of deep turmoil and grand over-comings and whether we like it or not, it's what that makes us who we are. And who you are is why you are loved by the person who's promising you their forever.
-
This has nothing to do with photography but everything to do with what makes people so interesting to me. You are a living, breathing story, unique and special. And I hope understand as I do, that with trust and a little connection, we can create memories in the form of images that will speak your legacy to those you will eventually leave behind.

Something Personal
I love documenting my life on vintage film because its unapologetic, imperfect, simple, and it comes out already looking like a memory!
I have a collection of home videos that I've created for my personal archive and cannot wait to show my future children. These silly films will carry my legacy on after I leave this world and I hope they serve my loved ones and our memories together well. Life is too short to fake perfection and it's too short to show a story that is an embellishment of the truth. I deeply believe that the truth in these memories will be something my loved ones will thank me for.
