I believe in making beautiful things.
And I believe that love, at its best, is beautifully imperfect.
I didn’t grow up thinking I’d be a photographer. I grew up wanting to make things that made people feel. After college, unemployed and creatively restless, I found my mom’s old DSLR buried in a closet. One afternoon at Donner Lake, I photographed my mom and sister just for fun—and something in me lit up. That was the start.
Since then, I’ve photographed hundreds of love stories. Elopements on cliffs. Intimate Yosemite weddings. Dance parties under desert skies. Always chasing that one moment that can’t be posed.
I’m a single mom. A feminist. A west coast soul now living in Kentucky. I love people who are kind, funny, and full of contradictions. I believe in laughter during vows. In speeches that make you cry. In making art that feels like you.
And I believe that if we work together, we’ll probably become friends.
My daughter has traveled more than most adults. I capture love for a living, but she’s my greatest muse. Being a single mama taught me that the most powerful love stories aren't always the ones with rings and white dresses—sometimes they're the ones where you choose each other every single day, even when it's messy. She's why I only take eight weddings a year, why I'm fiercely protective of our time together, and why I believe so deeply in documenting love that's real, raw, and absolutely worth celebrating.
I traded California cliffs and alpine lakes for Kentucky greens and golden light—and I still chase that same kind of wild beauty everywhere I go. There's something about wide open spaces that makes love feel bigger, more honest. Whether it's rugged coastlines or rolling hills, I'm drawn to places that make you feel small and infinite at the same time. That's where the magic happens—when you're somewhere that takes your breath away, you stop thinking about posing and start just being present with each other.
I will talk through the silences, make fun of myself first, and get you laughing even if you're "so awkward in front of the camera." Spoiler: You're not. I hate awkward silences more than you do, so I'll keep us talking until you forget there's even a camera there. I'm sarcastic, a little ridiculous, and my job isn't to make you pose like models—it's to help you be yourselves. The couples who think they're the most awkward always end up with the most natural, beautiful photos because they stop trying to be perfect and start just being.
