My love for photography began in my late teenage years when I was gifted my first camera, a gesture that quietly shaped the course of my life. My journey started as long days photographing wildlife along the shoreline and wandering through pine forests with a camera in hand and later evolved into portrait work. As friends and family began asking me to document their lives, I found my true creative home in capturing people and the stories they live every day. After college, I became the Director of Marketing at a large physical therapy practice, where I shoot photography to create original content for websites, social media, and advertising, sharpening my eye for storytelling, branding, and meaningful visuals.

I am a documentary-style photographer, meaning my sessions are relaxed, movement-filled, and centered around authenticity. Rather than stiff poses or constant direction, I focus on following you as you are offering gentle posing guidance, verbal prompts, and visual cues to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera without ever feeling “posed.” This approach allows space for real connection, natural emotion, and moments that unfold organically.

Candid moments are where I thrive. Sun flares, motion blur, belly laughs, silly faces, and toddlers who keep me on my toes are some of my favorite things. If you’re looking for picture perfect, cookie-cutter poses, I may not be the photographer for you, but if you want imagery that captures the real story of your life in those perfectly imperfect moments in between, you’re in the right place. My goal is simple: to freeze the memories that actually matter.
