my little family

I’m easy-going, adventure-loving, and happiest exploring somewhere new or getting lost in a story that makes me cry. I married my high school sweetheart. We started dating sophomore year, and now we’re raising two sweet boys, Finnley and Lochlan. Most days you’ll find me chasing a toddler, embracing the chaos, and soaking in the season we’re in.

My love for photography started long before I ever picked up a professional camera. As a kid, I would sit on the floor of my mom’s closet flipping through boxes of old family photos, completely captivated by the way a single image could bring a memory rushing back. In high school, I took my first photography class. I built a camera out of a Pringles can, developed film in the darkroom, and learned how light really works. That’s when it clicked.

Preserving moments, honestly and intentionally, was what I was meant to do.

Intentional Planning

Anyone can take a beautiful image. What matters is how it feels years from now.

My approach is rooted in calm energy, thoughtful direction, and documentary awareness. I notice the in-between moments, the unspoken emotion, the quiet tears, and the way your people look at you when you’re not paying attention.

I’ll guide you when needed, keep your timeline flowing, and make space for the moments that matter most.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about preservation.

What Makes Me Different...

Let's document this season the way it deserves to be remembered. 

Preserved with intention.
