PLAYFUL

ROMANTIC

DELICATE

WHIMSICAL

Those are the words I’d use to describe my photography. I’m absolutely obsessed with bright, vibrant colors and real, genuine emotions, so I don’t get hung up on perfectly posed shots, I focus on documenting the true connection between you and your loved ones as it unfolds. We’ll laugh over embarrassing stories, swap the little details that mean the most to us, and maybe even put on some music and dance like complete idiots together, doing whatever it takes to make our time feel natural and to keep you comfortable in front of the camera. Bottom line: be your true, authentic selves and I’ll handle the rest, capturing those moments you’ll want to relive forever.
