Let’s always remember how it felt and allow that to translate to photographs

My style is a reflection of what inspires me, the subtle glance of one love to another, delicate light filtering through the trees, or the vast landscape open to exploration. My work embodies a candid approach to the traditional standard and my inspiration stems from genuine human connection. Your wedding is a beautiful combination of so many moving parts and it’s my true calling to capture the magic as it unfolds.

Every culture, color, background and who they love is embraced.

I have been photographing humans for the past 16 years and I’ve been privileged to have worked with 400+ couples through my career. I put my whole heart into my work and pride myself on going above and beyond, because I work with some of the most incredible people out there.

I call the midwest home and and share a small dwelling with my husband, two cupcakes Ben and Indie, and our extraordinarily lazy greyhound.

A BIT ABOUT MYSELF

THINGS THAT LIGHT ME UP

Day trips and weekend getaways, the mountains, connecting to myself, laughing until it hurts, camping trips and long hikes, inside jokes, my family and chosen family, walking barefoot, documentaries, pretending I can sing, lazy Sundays, deep conversation, the color green, helping people succeed, a series finale that truly works, music that connects to memories, learning something new and useful, plot twists, airplane take off, dappled sunlight, collaborating with like minded people, Those who persevere despite the odds, and a million more things in life.

About You

presence over perfection

Affectionate. Creative. Thoughtful. Unique. Passionate. Unfussy.

I have had the absolute honor of working with so many wonderful clients who invite me into their lives for a brief period of time to capture the beginning of their story. My couples have a go with the flow attitude and craft a meaningful experience that keeps them at the center of their wedding day. They are artful, fearless, sentimental and most of all delighted to celebrate in their own way. I’m beyond thankful for the opportunity to work with such clients and am continually inspired by those beautiful souls who see the same in myself.

I don’t create for, I create with.
