Grad/Senior


If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.

Whether you graduate with honors or are just honored to graduate. We'll skip the cheesy, fake-smile pictures and get straight to capturing the real, unapologetic you—the version that's ready to take on the world. You've earned this moment, and your photos should be as impressive and full of personality as you are.

Wedding


Love is messy, magical, and occasionally involves a rogue uncle on the dance floor -- and I am here for it all. I don't just capture photos; I bottle up the laughter, happy tears, crooked bow ties, and the look you give each other when nobody else is watching. Whether you're eloping on a mountaintop or throwing the party of the century in the countryside, I'll be your memory-keeper, fly-on-the-wall, and unofficial dress fluffer.

Couples/Family


Whether you are madly in love, knee deep in snack crumbs and toddler giggles, or wrangling a family that feels more like a circus, I'm here to capture the beautiful chaos. Think of me as your friendly photo ninja -- ready to freeze those in-between moments: the bear hugs, inside jokes, unprompted twirls, and yes even the meltdown with artistic lighting. Because real life is perfectly imperfect, and that is exactly where the magic lies.

Maternity


The bump! What is more adorable than that sweet round belly housing the newest addition to your family? Each pregnancy is as beautiful and unique as each expecting mama. Your little one will look at you with nothing but love and adoration for you, just as I want you to look at these photos. My goal is to capture and celebrate the curve of the belly, stretch marks, smiles and all.  These are the quiet moments before the chaos, the gentle anticipation. Whether you are glowing, nesting, or snacking between shots (honestly me too. Lets share) I'm here to capture this wild and wonderful chapter before the next one begins.

Newborn


Mmmmm.. The sweet smell of a newborn and all the warm snuggles that come with it. As a mama myself, I understand this time is valuable. Entrusting someone aside from yourself to handle your new baby can be uncomfortable. As a labor and delivery nurse by night, I assure you that your baby will be safe and handled with the greatest care. Welcome to a world where tiny toes and squishy cheeks steal the spotlight. With a sprinkle of whimsy, a dash of patience and a whole lotta love, Ill turn these fleeting moments into timeless forever memories.
