I got into photography for that exact reason — I love people! And the fact that this job gives me new friends who invite me into their lives and share their stories with me? Well, that just pumps me the hell up (and makes me shed an unhealthy amount of grateful tears... it’s fine, I’m fine!)

My heart isn’t just to capture pretty pictures, but to build relationships and capture relationships honestly. I know it sounds cliche, but I really do desire to be more than your photographer. I would love to be your friend (especially since we’ll be spending a solid 8 hours together on your wedding day and all, ha!) Simply, I’m invested. I want to know you and know your story, and I count it pure joy and the utmost privilege to be trusted with telling it.

It’s my goal to make sure your photos are full of life, and are truly you! I’ll make sure to give you direction and get Mom the posed shots she wants, but I’m more about the in-between, sometimes messy, unplanned moments. I think those are so important in telling the story of the day, ya know? I promise to get you the pretty bridals, that killer portrait, and all the beautiful little details…but what I desire most of all is for you to look back on your wedding pictures for years to come and remember not just what that sacred, crazy day looked like— but what it felt like.

With all of that said, as much as I love love and love people I know I am not the photographer for everyone and that. is. okayyy! If you’re just looking to hire another vendor I’m not the girl for you. If you hire me, you can expect that I’m going to walk with you through the dreaming and planning process.

I’m going to compliment the hell out of you. I’m going to cry during your first look, your vows and during your dance with your Dad. I’m going to hold your bouquet + dress in one hand and my camera in the other. I’m going to hug your mom and agree with your dad that you’ve never looked more stunning, and I’m going to dance with your friends and celebrate your marriage with them and with you long past the sparkler send off. I’m going to encourage you and celebrate you and squeal with you. The whole shebang.
