I am based in Washington, though my work and thirst for travel regularly takes me beyond. My passion for photography began as an interest about film, light, composition, and the way people move in the spaces they're in. Over time it became a career that continues to shape how I see the world—noticing the little details others might overlook, the atmosphere of a place, and the quiet moments that hold meaning.
Weddings bring all of those elements together. The people, the setting, the design, the feeling when everyone you love is gathered in one place. My approach blends observation with art, creating photographs that feel true to the experience while still feeling composed.
I care deeply about the people who trust me to document these moments that pass us by all too quickly.

Besides photography, I love going to see live music, hanging with friends and family, reading lots of books, going to new cafes (I worked as a barista before I went full-time in photography, so I'm a huge coffee snob), traveling and exploring new places, hiking, biking, & basically everything outdoorsy.
Before I graduated high school in 2020, I was set on going to college for a degree in violin performance. When Covid hit, it threw a wrench in my plans for college. So, I embraced my photography business and it blossomed into this beautiful thing I have today. I could not be more grateful.
