My mission is to use my camera + artistry to SEE and UNDERSTAND you. 

Long story short

I have been doing this as my full time career for TEN YEARS. Wow. Being a photographer has seen me through my boyfriend turned husband, my first home and the birth of my two daughters. The growth I have experienced both personally and professionally has allowed me to not only grow technically, but artistically. 

Have you heard the saying "you have to know the rules to break them?" 

The confidence in my abilities has allowed me to push outside the status quo when it comes to capturing your wedding, day to day and other big life moments. When you see my current work, you are seeing YEARS and YEARS of learning, pushing, growing and curiosity. I know I am good at what I do and the biggest part of that is understanding YOU.

favorite hobby

I grew up camping with my family on the weekends and now Gus and I make it a priority to go camping a few times a year either solo or with friends. It's our FAVORITE thing to spend time chatting around a fire, swimming in the lake or hiking through the woods.

My first job was...

My first pair of high heels were tap shoes and my first job was when I was 11, assistant teaching jazz to little 3 year olds. I still LOVE to break it down on the dance floor and will often be the last one out there.

my motto in life

I firmly believe you should be your weirdest, most authentic self and never say no just because someone will judge you. This motto has led to some of the greatest memories and laughing fits of my life.

Favorite travel memory

My oma (grandma) met my grandpa when he was stationed in Germany and they fell in love which ended up with her moving to the US. When I was 21, I spent a month in her hometown of 800 in Germany getting to know my extended family, their friends and the culture. To say the least, it was unforgettable.
