I photograph for the things that matter: beautiful places, genuine connection, and the fleeting moments that make a life feel full. Every time I pick up the camera, I’m looking for something deeper—images that hold meaning, evoke feeling, and stand the test of time.

You’re here. What an honor.

The heart behind the lens

From an early age, I knew I was meant to create, but never imagined photography could be something I could build a life around. After a successful career in architecture, I finally took the risk of leaving what was familiar to pursue the work that truly made me happy.

What began as a photography journey in Cleveland eventually led me to South Carolina, where I now call home. Alongside my husband and our two girls, I’m learning to savor the moments that make up a life well lived—and capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments for others along the way.

Hands down the best decision.

Hold Onto What Matters

Every photograph is a record of something that existed exactly once—the light, the people, the feeling, even the version of you in that moment. This is what gives photography its weight. Life moves on, places change, people change, and we change with them, but a photograph can hold one fleeting moment exactly as it was. I photograph not to stop time, but to give you a way back to it.

Savor Each Moment

I believe life is meant to be lived fully—to be present, slow down, and savor what’s happening right in front of you. Your wedding day will inevitably fly by, and I believe one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the space to truly experience it. I strive to be a calm, grounding presence throughout the day, creating room for you to slow down, connect, and be fully present with each other and your guests.

Notice the in-between

For me, the in-between is where the real story happens. Not the pose, the plan, or the “perfect shot,” but the breath after, the glance between, the touch that happens when you’ve stopped thinking about the camera. While I choose the beautiful light and give gentle direction, I then step back and wait for what I can’t manufacture—the moment that could only belong to you.

The investment

I take on a limited number of weddings each year because I want to give each couple my time, attention, and creative energy.

Investment varies depending on the shape and scale of your celebration, from intimate, single-venue days to multi-location events. Each collection is designed around your day, with options to include an engagement session, second photographer, rehearsal dinner coverage, and more.
