the story of a storyteller
(my heart)
I love love. its kinda my job :)
my goal is to capture your hearts and make your love perceivable to anyone who sees your images. when you ask me to document your day, I do so much more than that. I notice the intricacies of your love, and I capture it in a way that others are able to feel. my images are authentic and true to life. your session will feel like old friends hanging out after a while apart. your gallery will feel sweet and intimate, almost like you're flipping through an old film wedding book.
I go miles beyond showing up with a camera. I get to know you and become your good friend,
I witness your love story, and then I get to tell it to the world.
in the delicate dance between light and shadow,
my lens becomes a storyteller,
capturing moments suspended in the tapestry of time.
this is me!
i am a wife
i married my best friend Alex in october of 2021. since then, he's been one of my biggest supporters and my go-to roadtrip buddy. together, we are the couple who brings a new board game to the function or tries to make you giggle. if you're lucky enough that Alex joins me on a session, he will get to know you and make you laugh.
i am an adventurer
traveling is a huge passion of mine. have a spontaneous airbnb in a fun city? let's take a roadtrip! i am always up for seeing something new and adding to my travel list. a couple of fun places i've been include living in hawaii, alaska (three times), and belize!
ps. if you want to do a destination wedding, i am ALL IN no questions asked :) INQUIRE to discover the locations that i offer heavy discounts!
even more...
i am a compulsive crafter! i have tried almost everything, but crocheting, painting and drawing are a couple of my favs.
i grab pics of every moment in my own life too. think of a Facebook grandma snapping pictures on her phone, that's me :)
if i have the option, i'm a passenger princess and supreme DJ.
i am a big fan of a good cappuccino.
if its not a sitcom, its a true crime documentary... no in-between.
some kind words.
