ABOUT ME
HOW I GOT HERE
Growing up in the digital age, photography has always been a huge part of my life. My first camera was an iPod Touch, and I was hooked immediately. I spent my days photographing the flowers in our backyard, my pets, my little sister, anything and everything. I bought my first DSLR at thirteen and was determined to turn it into a business. That passion has evolved over the years, from photos of my sister, to lifestyle sessions for family and friends (Christmas cards, senior portraits, and everything in between), to a bridal fashion internship in college that introduced me to the wedding world. I was obsessed with the fashion, but I missed the human connection of portrait work. Then came weddings. The details I loved from my fashion days, paired with real emotion, celebration, love, and joy. It's by far my favorite art form, and I feel so lucky to capture some of the happiest days of my clients' lives.
I'll step in with gentle direction when it's helpful, then step back so the moments that matter most can unfold naturally. Some of my favorite photographs are the ones no one could have planned. That's why I build in time to breathe and room for spontaneity. I'm a quiet observer by nature (a little introverted, if you will), but I can't contain the hype-girl energy that comes out once I'm photographing. I find joy in noticing beautiful light, thoughtful design, and the little in-between moments that make every wedding unique. I also deeply value service and care. I'll fluff your dress, grab you water, celebrate your just-married excitement, and remind you how incredible you look.
You'll usually find me at a local café, in a reformer or heated mat Pilates class, wandering around downtown Carmel, or on a long walk with friends. At home, I'm editing on the couch or testing a new recipe for my fiancé.
I'm drawn to fashion and art, and I can lose hours on Pinterest or Tiktok keeping up with the latest trends. I'm an eldest daughter and big sister through and through: a perfectionist at heart, fiercely protective of my people, and incapable of doing anything halfway.
Coffee order: iced vanilla latte
Guilty pleasure: Tiktok (it's research, I swear)

Something you'd never guess about me: I grew up horseback riding competitively! Early mornings, long days, and an unbreakable work ethic is my specialty.
FAQ
What if I don't know how to pose?
Join the club! Just kidding, but actually I think that most people feel this way. With a background in fashion and years of experience helping people feel comfortable in front of my camera, I promise it is not as scary as it seems when you have someone to guide you! I promise to support you, uplift you, and never make you do anything that is out of your comfort zone.
How long have you been a photographer?
2026 is my third wedding season as a full time wedding photographer! This has been my dream ever since I was a little girl and I am so fulfilled by this career. I began photography at age thirteen, and have had a camera in my hands nearly every day since. I oficially began my business in 2019, and have evolved from family and high school senior portraits, to bridal fashion, to weddings!
