MY HEART & PHILOSOPHY
After college, I quickly realized my heart was in wedding photography. There is such a story to be told on a wedding day. It’s a story of love told, not only through the big moments, but in the tiny details that sometimes go unnoticed.
The pride in the parent’s eyes seeing their baby all dressed up in white. The grandparents that didn't listen to the “unplugged” rule and took photos on their phones during the ceremony anyway. That feeling everyone has in their throat as they wish their favorite person could be there, but know they're watching from above. The speeches that moved everybody to tears, and the dancing that made my clients’ feet hurt for three days.
These are the little things that mean the most, and the feelings that I love to freeze in time. I want my couples to feel the same way in 20 years about their wedding photos, as I do when I pull out my mom's old photo containers.

Photography has been a part of my story for as long as I can remember. When I was little, my mom carried her camera with her everywhere we went, capturing thousands of baby pictures that she carefully stashed away in 10+ rubbermaid containers in her closet. One of my favorite pastimes is sitting down and going through allll of the memories she has preserved of our family over the years - it’s so crazy to me to be able to hold a moment of time that I clearly lived in, but don't necessarily remember. I love hearing the stories behind each photo and the sweet conversations they bring up.

LOVER OF PEOPLE
As a teenager, I carried my mom’s camera around with me, taking pictures of anything and anybody that I could. I made my friends "dress-up" to take photos in our backyards and around town. Fast forward to college, and I’d developed a reputation for this little hobby of mine. My sorority sisters asked me to take their graduation photos after their photographers fell through, and it reignited a passion that I’d left on the back burner for so many years. I fell in love with making people recognize that they are indeed beautiful, and that they have a story worth capturing.
