here's me in 126 words

I grew up in the Valley, and while I’ve had my share of adventures, the PNW will always feel like home. In 2024, I married my high school sweetheart, and we’re loving every minute of building our little life together — with our adorable golden, Edison, of course.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me with the people I love most, diving into a new renovation project, making my third brown sugar latte of the day (yes, I have a problem), or convincing my husband to watch just one more 2000s rom-com (he secretly loves them, I swear).

I’m a firm believer that the most beautiful moments in life are often the quiet, unplanned ones, and that’s exactly what I love capturing — those genuine, unposed moments of love.

a bit more about me

My journey into photography began during lockdown days while I was studying at the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!). What started as capturing my cousin's engagement turned into a summer of second-shooting weddings, and just like that, I was hooked. There was something so magical about documenting love stories that I couldn't shake – and honestly, didn't want to.

Five years behind the lens has taught me that the most beautiful moments are often the ones you don't plan for. The quick kiss on the head when you think no one's watching. The knowing glances that say "we did it." The belly laughs that you can feel through the photos. I'm all about capturing your love exactly as it is – unposed, unscripted, and completely authentic.

As your photographer, I'm not just there to take pretty pictures (though we'll definitely get those too!). I'm there to help you feel at ease, to blend into the background when the moment calls for it, and to gently guide you when you need it. My couples often tell me that their session felt less like a photoshoot and more like a fun date with a friend who happens to have a camera.

The subtle glances, the forehead kisses, the knowing looks, the simple gestures, the split-second expressions that tell the real story of your love.

I believe in guiding you with prompts, not stiff poses, so your photos feel real and true to who you are while still looking effortless and confident.

Real-Life Editorial

Inspiration 03

My favorite shots are never the perfectly planned ones – they're the giggles between poses, the stolen moments when you forget I'm even there.

the joy in between

Each photograph I take is a blend of candid moments and intentional details, documenting everything from the quiet glances to the incomparable joy of your wedding day. I believe the most beautiful stories are the ones that happen naturally – I'm just here to preserve them in a way that feels both elevated and completely, authentically you.
