A BIT ABOUT ME

ABOUT YOU
let's
celebrate
your
story
You’re someone who values authenticity over perfection. You want more than just beautiful, posed photos—you want the genuine moments: the belly laughs, the ear-to-ear grins, the fleeting, messy, beautiful seconds that make life what it is. You might feel a little nervous about being in front of the camera, but you’re looking for a photographer you can trust to make you feel at ease, confident, and, most importantly, you.
You aren’t afraid to let your goofball side shine or embrace the joy and unpredictability of the day. Stiff, overly posed photos aren’t your thing—you believe that the magic happens when you're fully present in the moment. You understand that "picture perfect" isn’t about perfection; it’s about capturing life’s raw, real, and unscripted beauty.
You’re laid-back and confident in handing over the reins, trusting me to document your story with care and creativity. And while you know I’m a wife and mom above all else, you also know that when I step behind the camera, I give you everything. You value connection, emotion, and a photographer who’s not just there to take photos but to truly see and celebrate you.
