ABOUT ME
LOVER OF AUTHENTIC PEOPLE AND MEMORABLE MOMENTS
HERE TO CREATE HONEST, BEAUTIFUL LOVE-FILLED MOMENTS
I'm a proud native Texan, a wifey and mom to four beautiful humans. I have two Goldendoodles: Moses and Dewey (who regularly distract me when I'm trying to work, let's be honest). Loving my brood and being loved by them is the root of my photography.
I've been immersed in the world of wedding photography for over a decade. From intimate gatherings to extravagant celebrations, I've had the privilege of capturing the unique stories of countless couples.
I am deeply empathetic by nature, often finding myself moved to tears during heartfelt father/daughter dances and toasts - I am sure to shed a tear behind my camera. What I once thought was a hindrance has become my greatest asset, allowing me to serve my couples and their families with unparalleled sensitivity and compassion, weaving their stories with authenticity and heart. With the ability to read a room and a finely-tuned emotional intelligence, I can anticipate and appreciate moments unfolding on the wedding day.
As a trained professional, I know to give you personal space when you're trying to remain present in a moment. My objective, from the way I dress to the way I photograph, is to show respect for your traditions, spaces and people.
Beyond just snapping photos, I strive to create images that authentically reflect the essence of each couple's love story. Whether your wedding is a grand affair or an intimate gathering, my goal is to capture those fleeting moments, ensuring you have tangible memories to cherish for a lifetime.

+ I believe your face should ache from smiling at your boo and laughing with your friends, not from taking posed pictures all day, so I get lots of diversity quickly so we can all move on to enjoying your celebration
+ Yasss to golden-lit sunset portraits all day, but the unscripted, uncensored moments will forever be my favorite
+ I believe that not everything beautiful is extravagant. For example, oftentimes shots of you two literally just walking to wherever we're heading to formally "take portraits" are some of my favorites
+ I strive to tell the stories that you don’t even see happening on your wedding day. I am not here to build my portfolio or Instagram or take you away from your friends and family for more photos. I am here to document YOU. With YOUR people. In YOUR place.
+ I don’t stick to one specific style, because every couple's story is so different. I make sure that the way I’m interacting, shooting, and editing is reflective of who my couples are and how things actually felt. It’s a lot of small little things like this that go a long way. The artistic choices I make aren’t to benefit me because these are your memories, not mine. I focus on quality over quantity so we can create something together you’ll value forever.
+ I only take on a few weddings and elopements per year. I don’t feel it’s fair to my clients if I’m overbooking myself because they won’t be getting my best work if I’m physically, mentally, and creatively exhausted.
+ And, finally, serving others is my heart. It's my God-given purpose and you're gonna get 110% of me even on a bad day.
