a photo-journalistic approach that keeps you in the moment - so that you don't miss a thing. 

My entire process centers around noticing – the small moments, the big gestures, the (seemingly insignificant) glances, and subtle tears. It all tells your story, exactly how it felt in the moment.

Now, that's not to say that I don't also offer prompts and direction when you're in front of the camera – I show up to every session and wedding day with an arsenal of prompts. The motto is prompts over poses because the goal isn't "the perfect pose", it's authentic emotion, movement, and laughter. 

The  Experience

Let me make myself crystal clear:

OVER HERE,
WE CHERISH & CELEBRATE
ALL RACES,
Body types,
GENDER EXPRESSIONS,
AND SEXUALITIES. 

Most of my childhood was spent running barefoot & catching lightning bugs with my mom.

To this day, my mom probably has no idea just how much I cherish those nights belly-laughing up and down our sidewalk together. Though when I think back on my childhood, these are the core memories. The only thing that would've made those moments more perfect is someone capturing it all, like my own silent paparazzi. That's why I do this – so that the moments that make your life worth living are memorialized beautifully

Little Moments add up to a life, well-lived

WHY I DO WHAT I DO

Chicago, IL / TBD 2026

TRAVEL DATES

These were taken in Glacier National Park!

Portland, OR / TBD 2026 

I am a huge romance-Fantasy Nerd & have managed to make it my entire personality. My favorite series are: Saga of the unfated, Crescent City, and Throne of Glass 

I have two kitties named sage & oona that are my whole world! 

My other passion is gardening – After learning that I'm weirdly good at growing tomatoes, I began exploring what other veggies can be grown from my backyard.

COLLECTION OF LOVE NOTES

INQUIRE TODAY

It's all about balance – a photographer who chases you and your kiddos around a field, who catches the tearful moment you see your partner down the aisle for the first time, aaaand who happily shouts/sings every lyric to "HOT TO GO" on the dance floor with you.
Sound like a good fit to you?
