I LOVE TO TRAVEL
I have photographed weddings in Paris, Mexico, Jamaica, St. Lucia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
PAPER CALENDARS
I am a paper calendar and planner type of gal. I love to see my month at-a-glance and a to-do list written down!
WEDDINGS & PORTRAITS
I have been photographing weddings since 2012, and portraits and couples since 2009.
NIKON AND MAMIYA
I am a Nikon shooter for my digital work, and when I have the chance to shoot film I use my Mamiya.
BROWSE MY FAVORITE THINGS
VIRGINIA IS HOME
I've lived in 6 states since graduating from college. I moved every 1-1.5 years except for living in Southern California for 3 years. I currently call Virginia home.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
AUDIOBOOKS
I am a huge fan of audiobooks on Audible! My faves are business books and non-fiction. My recent faves are The Five Second Rule, Ego is the Enemy and the Slight Edge.
THIS IS HOW I "READ"
OREOS, OREOS, OREOS
I absolutely love Oreos and most desserts that contain Oreos. It's gotten so bad that clients often have them for me at weddings or they accompany a post wedding "Thank You" note!!!
I HAVE A SWEET TOOTH FOR DAYS..
MY FUTURE IS BRIGHT
At some point, I started wearing sunglasses on my head more than I would wear them on my face. For this reason, I try on sunglasses to make sure they fit my face but more importantly that they stay in my hair!
I'VE LOST COUNT ON THE NUMBER OF SUNGLASSES I OWN
Growing up, I witnessed the love of my mother and father, and I have always known what it feels like to be loved. Today, I document love stories in a way that allows couples to be their authentic selves. I want to tell a love story - your story.
Each time you look at your wedding images, I want you to be reminded that on this particular day, and at this particular moment in time - this is where you were, who you were, and what you were doing.
We grow, we age, and we change. It's inevitable. However, when you look at a photo that I've taken, I want it to be a timeless reminder of how you looked and felt at that specific time in your life.
I am a curator of timeless, romantic, and fun love stories! Telling YOUR story means getting to know you on a personal level. It means hearing how you met, fell in love, and plans for your future celebration. Let's discuss how we can best document your day!
MY "WHY"
He gave me my first camera to document life through my young eyes, and I enjoyed every opportunity to do just that. I became known as the friend with the camera! Years later, He taught me how to anticipate moments, and he was the first to train me when I found my way back to the camera in 2010...
I call him Dad!
