Each story is preserved exactly as it felt with true-to-color imagery that’s both artful and deeply faithful to the moment.
I care about your story and your vision, but most of all, your experience while living it. Real memories need space to breathe and unfold, and I won’t interrupt what’s happening just to chase something “perfect.” The perfect photo is already there, in the laughter, the quiet in-between, the slightly messy, deeply meaningful parts that can’t be recreated.
My role is to notice and document, not control. I’ll step back and give you room to be present first, and when you need it, I’ll step in with gentle guidance (because yes, everyone eventually wonders what to do with their hands).
Reach out with any questions, or to move forward with the inquiry and booking process.
Thank you for taking the time to take a look at some of my work and learn a bit about my style. My appreciation for photography began after discovering my dad’s collection of film images—an early glimpse into the power of storytelling through the lens. That curiosity led me to Saint Louis University, where I earned a degree in Communications and Studio Art, and into a continued practice of photographing weddings, couples, and events.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to learn from and collaborate with talented creatives across the industry. I currently serve as Studio Head for A Little Photo Studio and Field Creatives, where I continue to work across photography and design.
Outside of work, I am the godmother to a cat named Mister Meow, collect antique rings, and have a long-standing addiction to farmers market mangos.
