Behind the Lens

ABOUT me

I'm a hopeless romantic who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.

Wife to my best friend, boy mom, lover of light.

For those expecting to read that I have loved photography since I was 1 year old and it has been my passion ever since? That I was born with a great eye and talent?
NOPE and NOPE!
I picked up my first real camera when my oldest son was born - 10 years ago! And what a disappointment it was when my new fancy camera didn't produce any masterpieces! How could it be? I spent so much money on it, why didn't my photos look amazing?!

I was determined to learn! I quickly developed "the eye", that everyone is talking about. Years of hard work and practice have lead to opening my own business and creating beautiful art for my clients. This is why I can provide the best experience for you! My skills and knowledge will make you feel comfortable and beautiful in front of the camera.

my favorite things:

about you

Does this sound like you?
send me a note.

My couples value real connections and emotions over perfection.

We might be a perfect match if you would rather enjoy your day, dance with your spouse and guests, laugh till your belly hurts instead of worrying about everything looking perfect.
