About

I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.

Stunning Photos

I began capturing images on film during the pandemic, when the entire world was forced to slow down and pivot. The limited amount of images on a roll of film forced me to put my camera phone down and really observe the beauty in the world, and the people around me.

Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.

Even with it's ups and downs, your life, your story, are beautiful and I can't wait to create images to show that!

Since then, I've traveled around the world documenting love stories for couples and families.

My love for photography has brought me everywhere from the beaches of the Florida panhandle to the sun kissed vineyards of Italy. But regardless of where I travel, the romantic streets and Haussmann style apartments of Paris will always be my home.

Nothing cools you down faster in a Southern Summer than a tall glass of sweet tea on the front porch (with extra honey of course!) Throw in a few friends and you have the ingredients for a perfect night.

A few years ago, we planted our first garden and since then, it's quickly become a place of refuge. Lavender, climbing roses, carrots, tomato plants, sweet peas and more all make themselves right at home.

New isn't always better. We're big fans of spending the afternoon sifting through antique shops and secondhand stores for timeless pieces with secret stories. Our favorite find? A vintage pair of Jimmy's!

are you ready to capture your story?

I sort of fell into photography on accident (it's kind of a funny story and I'm sure if we work together, you'll hear about it at some point), but I recently realized it's always been in my blood. My grandfather spent his career working for Kodak. And my mother and my uncle also spent some of their early years there as well. So when I say it's in my blood, I truly mean it's in my blood. But what started out as a bit of an accident (although clearly destiny), has grown into a passion. One that lights me up deep from within and one that my clients often tell me they can feel during our sessions.

I truly feel there is no better way to preserve ones legacy than through photos. And it's something that I fear even though we all have a camera in our pockets now, we're actually losing. It's my passion to not let your story slip by with digital images that sit on a hard drive somewhere or in the cloud, but that rather live on your walls in your home for generations to come.
