let's create together
I’m endlessly inspired by life’s simple moments—sun-soaked walks with my pup Ollie and my husband Michael, afternoons spent thrifting, lingering on the beach until time disappears, slow coffee shop mornings with friends, testing a new vegan recipe, or sharing a glass of wine with the people I love. I’m drawn to the small, nostalgic moments—the ones that feel natural, unforced, and deeply meaningful.
I grew up as a quiet observer, always watching and creating. Some of my favorite memories are sitting on the floor flipping through photo albums while my mom retold the stories behind each image. Everything shifted in middle school when I found my dad’s film camera from the 1980s—I realized I could create those same tangible memories for my own family, and eventually for others. That curiosity grew organically, and for the past ten years, I’ve been photographing professionally, with no intention of slowing down.
I photograph for couples who value presence over performance, for families that don't want to miss a single moment, and for brands that want a cool, elevated experience. With a composed, intuitive approach, I bring both structure and ease—anticipating needs, refining timelines, and creating a calm atmosphere so my clients can stay fully immersed in our time together. Blending film and digital photography, I document celebrations with intention and artistry, creating timeless, emotive imagery that feels effortless, elevated, and deeply personal.
Because photographs are more than images—they’re a way to hold onto the people you love and the stories that matter most.

My work is rooted in subtle moments, genuine connection, and beautiful, natural light. Rather than staging or directing, I focus on what’s already unfolding—capturing the quiet in-betweens, the emotion, and the details that often go unnoticed. My approach is intuitive and heart-driven, allowing moments to happen naturally so the imagery feels honest, effortless, and deeply personal.
Equally important to the photographs is the experience. I bring a calm, steady presence to photo sessions and wedding days—offering guidance, flexibility, and thoughtful direction when needed, while always encouraging my couples to relax and truly enjoy the moment. From refining timelines to anticipating needs, I work closely with my clients to build trust and understanding, creating an environment where they feel supported, at ease, and fully present. It’s within that sense of ease that creativity thrives.
I’m endlessly inspired by film photography and its ability to preserve moments as they are—raw, unfiltered, and alive. Blending film and digital, I create imagery that feels timeless yet current, balancing modern sensibility with a nostalgic, artful approach. Life isn’t made up of perfectly curated moments, and I don’t believe your photographs should be either. I want them to reflect the full story—the joy, the quiet, the movement, and the emotion—captured naturally, beautifully, and without pretense.
