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!

My photography style is a mix of documentary and guided direction, depending on the moment. During family photos and posed portraits, I take a hands-on approach, giving clear direction to ensure everyone is in the right place and looking their best. When it’s time for couple portraits, I guide you through natural poses while keeping things relaxed and fun.
For the rest of the day, I take a more candid approach, capturing real moments as they unfold. During getting ready, I might gently guide you toward the best window light but let the moments happen naturally. My goal is to document the day as it truly feels while making sure you look great in the process.
As a Waverley Country Club wedding photographer, I work closely with each couple to understand what they love most about their venue. I highlight the best features of Waverley in portraits while being mindful of areas they may not want emphasized. Every wedding is unique, and I make sure my approach reflects what’s most important to you.
I photographed my first wedding in 2009. While the number of weddings I take on per year typically varies. It's safe to say that I have shot well over 200 weddings.
