As a wedding photographer AND someone currently planning my own wedding, I totally get how exciting and overwhelming this season can be. From timelines to tiny details, it’s a lot. That’s why I’m all about helping you feel calm, confident, and completely yourself throughout the whole process. With years of experience behind the camera, I’ve learned how to tune into the real moments, which we already know, are the ones that matter most! I will also always make sure you feel supported and seen every step of the way.
My goal isn’t just to take pretty photos (though we’ll definitely do that), but to create images that feel like you and tell your story in the most honest, heartfelt way.

What started as taking photos of stuffed animals with my mom’s Nokia in 2003 led to my first ‘real’ camera in 2013, and I quickly became hooked. After high school, I took a gap year where I worked at Starbucks, traveled, and shot photos whenever I could! I eventually did give college a go but shortly after starting I decided to drop out to pursue photography full-time.
I can’t imagine a better job! I get to work with amazing couples on the best days of their lives, capturing memories they’ll cherish forever. I’ve made lifelong friends, traveled the world (Until 2025 almost half of my work was destination-based!), and spent weekends photographing weddings while balancing a happy life with my dog, fiance, and cozy office work during the week.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to keep growing in the wedding industry, with goals to open a venue in Kansas City and continue to mentor other photographers.
In 2022, I made the leap to full-time wedding photography, and I’ve never looked back.
I believe the best photos come from real connection! The connection between you and your partner, and between you and me (your photographer) I take time to truly get to know my couples so you feel seen, supported, and totally yourself in front of the camera. That trust creates space for the candid, true-to-you moments I love to capture most.
Your experience matters just as much as your photos. I’m here to make you feel confident, relaxed, and cared for every step of the way. What I love about this job isn’t only creating pretty photos for you, I also love being a part of making you day flow easily and making sure you get to fully experience an abundance of joy and love on your day.
I believe every love story deserves to be celebrated with care, joy, and intention. No matter how you identify or who you love, your story matters and it’s worthy of being documented honestly and wholeheartedly!
