I’m the kind of person who will cry during your vows and will talk to your pets in a baby voice (because how else are you supposed to talk to them?!).
If we were chatting over coffee at some cute little café, I’d tell you how this business of mine wasn’t born out of strategy or some perfectly crafted 10-year plan—it came from a slow unraveling. From burnout. From motherhood. From feeling like I was slowly disappearing. And from the realization that I wanted something more—more connection, more truth, more presence.
And truth be told, I bring all of that into every wedding, couple, and family I photograph: the stories we carry, the stuff that actually matters, and the permission to just be fully, unapologetically yourself. Swear words, fur babies, and all.
i get it, because i'm living it too
the stories we carry Are never just our own

I don't know how you managed to create something so beautiful and personal. Clearly, you have a rare gift: the ability to truly see people and reflect their essence through your art. Please remember that only a small percentage of people get to create work that genuinely touches others—
And you are One of those few.
For a long time, I did the “right” things because that's what I thought adults had to do—get a steady job with benefits, have a routine, do the whole commute thing. I kept my head down. I burned out. I cried in office bathrooms (and beige ass cubicles). I cracked jokes to cover it up. I waited until my body forced me to stop before I finally listened. And even then, I was scared shitless.
But photography and art (and lots of therapy) brought me back to life. Slowly. Honestly. In the way all good things do.
It started with taking photos of my babies in the light-filled corners of our home. Then it turned into sessions with friends, and then strangers who didn’t feel like strangers for long.
BUT, I DIDN'T ALWAYS KNOW THIS WOULD BE MY PATH
this might come as A surprise
I realized this wasn’t just about photos. It was about permission. To be seen. To slow down. To remember what matters.
That's why I feel so strongly about these being MORE than just pretty photos. It’s about the nervous excitement in your hands as you hold your vows. It’s about the five minutes of silence you steal after the ceremony, where it all just hits you. Or the quiet way your kiddo leans into you when they’re tired.
This is your life. Your story. Your people. I’m just here to see it—really see it—and hand it back to you as something that lasts.
