Since 2009 I've had a camera in my hands telling stories and capturing priceless moments. From the majestic beauty of Oregons weddings to intimate backyard celebrations and everything in between, I travel far and wide to tell your unique story.

Every session is a chance to preserve fleeting moments—the laughter, the joy, the little details that make life extraordinary. Photography isn’t just my profession; it’s my way of celebrating life’s most precious connections.

GET TO KNOW ME

Sitting around a campfire or dressed in heels and pearls. A country girl at heart with a love for travel. I craft a fun, lighthearted experience while filling galleries with serene, light, beautiful, classic images.

I believe in real moments. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in long walks along the beach or woods with my hubby, kiddos and a dog (or two) by my side… no really, I do!
