Photographer, videographer, color theory nerd, former college soccer player, and the kind of person who will absolutely send you a playlist before your session.

When I think back to what sparked my love for photography and videography, it actually wasn’t picking up a camera that came first for me.

It was editing.

There was something so interesting to me about being able to manipulate an ordinary image into something beautiful or change it into anything I wanted. 

When I wasn’t studying or playing soccer, I quite literally spent every spare moment teaching myself all the different ways you could edit photos and videos. It was an absolute obsession. Eventually I picked up my mom’s old camera, and the rest is history.

where it all began

Work with me

There’s something so incredible to me about being able to capture moments and make them last forever in a way.

I mean, is that not the coolest thing ever? I love that I get to do that for people. That’s another thing about this “job” that made me fall in love with it so much. My clients very quickly turn into my friends, and being able to give something they’ll cherish so much for the rest of their life is so special to me.

Work with me

I’m high energy, always planning, and intentional with creative direction. 

My goal is always to think outside the box and create what feels exciting to me. I love to make things that are unique and completely different than anything I’ve seen been done before.

The process of creating my brand photos was no exception. They were so fun to work on because they feel so much like me. When I was deciding what I wanted them to look like, it only felt right to include the people that have made this whole process so special. I came up with the idea to create a whole photo wall of everyone (yes, everyone!) I’ve worked with over the past 7 years. Seeing the entire thing in front of me was the most insane feeling.

Work With me

I have a nursing degree, but I’ve never worked in a hospital.

I’m a huge fan of color theory and use it in everything I do.

My favorite sessions are the ones where people are willing to try something new and creative.

I love coffee, golden hour, and making playlists for every shoot.

Road trips are my love language. If you want to shoot somewhere wild, I’m already in.

I learned how to edit on photoshop before i ever picked up a camera.
