I asK for a lot
of vulnerability so
here's a little from me
You’ve already seen my photos, but this is where you get to know ME...hi, hello!! It’s so important that you actually LIKE the vendor who you’ll be spending the most time with on your wedding day, so allow me to put it all out there.
One thing about me is I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum.
Conform? Please don’t make me. Act normal? I’m so bored. YOUR WEDDING DAY CAN BE ALL ABOUT BREAKING THE RULES! As a creative human being, I’m determined to streeeeeetch the possibilities of wedding photography in every possible way so your photos actually match the messy expansive eclectic vibe of your love.
Let's take a trip down memory lane real quick
Not to get all sob story on you, but I really was never good at anything as a kid. Sports? No. Art? No. Instruments? No. GO AHEAD, CUE TINY VIOLIN! For a minute there it seemed like I was doomed, all hope was lost, I’d be stuck whittling my existence away at a boring mediocre unfulfilling desk job for the rest of my life.
The only thing I was semi kinda good at was photography, but even then I didn’t take it seriously because I didn’t think I was semi kinda good ENOUGH. But you know that saying, "If you love something let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever"? That's basically my love story with photography.
Now, I pinch myself daily because I'm truly living my dream life. Turning love stories into art is not something I take lightly, and I put my whole heart & soul into my couples <3
Don’t let my cutesy demeanor fool you, I’m actually a little bit insane
By “insane” I mean something in my brain is a little questionable because I work immensely well under pressure. Is it the adrenaline from the thrill? The high-stakes people pleasing? A secret third thing? I could probably use my psych degree to figure it out (the only thing I'd use my degree for), but whatever it is I’m not mad at it because it means wedding days are literally my time to shine. I’ll always be cool calm collected on the outside no matter what the day throws at us, and on the inside my creative brain is still running a million miles a minute. My catchphrase is "always tell me no" because I will go as far outside the box as you'll let me.

Signature style?
We Don't Know Her.
You may or may not hear wedding photographers talk about their Signature Style™, and honestly I love that for them. But over here, I find it a little uncomfy (read: claustrophobic) to assign myself a specific photography style. Instead, I’m much more excited to tell you about how the way I approach a shoot or a wedding is entirely based on YOUR vibe. Trust it’s always gonna be full of fun and whimsy (two of my non-negotiables), but outside of that, I shoot and edit based on the energy you two give me!! What this actually looks like in practice is no two galleries of mine ever, and I mean ever, look the same. And not to be that gorl, but isn’t that how it should be??
I’m gonna shut up now ‘cause you can actually just see for yourself :)
Enough about me, it’s time for you to overshare now!!
I knew this page would seal the deal <3 scootch on over to my contact form and tell me all about YOU!
