FEATURED IN
Originally, I pursued a degree in elementary education, but during the pandemic I began to realize my heart was being pulled in a different direction. Around that same time, I had been introduced to the world of weddings and photographed my first one in December of 2020. I immediately fell in love with the energy, the emotion, and the privilege of documenting such meaningful moments. Not long after, I made the decision to leave college and pursue photography wholeheartedly. What began in Mobile, Alabama capturing celebrations and milestones soon grew into something far greater than I ever imagined. In the summer of 2022, I took the leap into photography full time, trusting the Lord to guide the path ahead. Since then, He has continued to open doors and place incredible people in front of my camera.
My path to photography wasn’t traditional, but it was intentional.
THE BEAUTY OF BEING PRESENT
There's something really beautiful about a wedding day when you allow it to simply be what it is.
Not every moment needs to be orchestrated. Not every photograph needs a perfectly posed smile. Sometimes, the most meaningful things happen when nobody is paying attention to the camera.
That's what draws me to documentary photography. I love watching the way people interact, the relationships that have shaped your lives, and the unexpected little moments that give a day its character.
Of course, there's a time and place for a little direction and a beautifully composed portrait. I love those, too. But I never want the pursuit of a photograph to take away from the experience of actually living it.
Because at the end of the day, I want you to have photographs that bring you right back to the people, the atmosphere, and everything that made your wedding yours.
I’m watching for the ones you didn’t even know were happening.
Knowing When To Step In
Guidance when you need it, space when you don’t.
The Little Things
Fixing the veil, fluffing the dress, straightening the boutonnière.
When The Party Starts
You can absolutely expect to find me on the dance floor.
Watching The Room
I’m paying attention to your people just as much as I’m paying attention to you.
The Moments You Miss
What It's Like To Have Me There
My little shadow, favorite feline, and the real boss of the household. Named after Sherlock Holmes' trusty sidekick (the Robert Downey Jr. version, obviously), she's been by my side for over a decade. Most evenings you'll find us curled up on the couch with Friends, New Girl, or Parks & Rec playing in the background. She's spoiled rotten, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Music has always been a huge part of my life. From collecting vinyl with my dad to countless concerts and music festivals, I've always loved experiencing music in every form. My indie and alternative roots run deep, but thanks to Daniel, I've developed a love for jam bands, too. My festival days may be slowing down (apparently I enjoy sleeping in my own bed now), but I'll never turn down a good concert.
Harry Potter is my past, present, and future. I'm a proud Universal Orlando annual passholder, and I've already made two trips in 2026 alone. The Wizarding World will never get old to me, and I'll happily take any excuse to plan another visit. I've always loved stories that transport you somewhere else, and apparently, I'm still waiting on my Hogwarts acceptance letter.
Give me a good thrift store or antique shop, and I can happily wander around for hours. Daniel and I have been building up our physical media collection, and there's something so satisfying about finding an old favorite tucked away on a shelf. I love things with a little history, a little character, and a story of their own. Plus, nothing beats the thrill of a really good secondhand find.
