A little bit more about me!
I picked up a camera 10 years ago and began learning film photography. I soon switched to digital photography and started photographing my friends and family. This became more than just a hobby, and I began my business.
My passion led me to major in Fine Art Photography, and I am so thankful I did. Not only did I refine my skills technically, but I also learned the importance of photography as an art form, allowing my creativity to shine. I bring this same creativity to all my sessions and create truly memorable pieces of artwork. I specialize in weddings, seniors, families, couples, and branding sessions.
My main focus with every session is ensuring you can relax and enjoy your time. You don’t need to worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera because it’s my job to direct, pose, and guide you through the session so you look and feel your best.
I love getting to know my clients, and I am a very personable, confident, and down-to-earth individual. I’m sure you’ll notice this from the very first inquiry. I offer more than just a photoshoot. From learning your story, to creating a session that brings out your personality, to delivering your final gallery, I want to tailor the entire experience to you and your story.
Inspired by my Catholic faith, I believe every person and every story is worthy of being seen and celebrated. I approach each session with intention, gratitude, and deep respect for the moments entrusted to me. My hope is that you feel seen, valued, and at peace throughout the entire process.
