At the ripe age of 16(ish), the photography bug hit me. As a midwestern kid I was obviously in 4H and entered into the photography competition. What I didn’t realize then, was that I was at the very beginning of the rest of my life. I started off with inanimate objects (introvert over here) and grew my confidence enough to ask friends to be my subjects. I loved the tech side of things, the way I could manipulate backgrounds to make something super ugly and busy look beautiful with the right light, and that I could get people to relax in front of the camera so that you could photograph their true selves. Fast forward to college (Boiler Up!) when I was in the *thick* of an unrelated degree and I realized… photography was the clear path for me. There was nothing else that fulfilled me the way it does. 

I take pride in being *more* than just your photographer. Sure, I'm on a mission to photograph everyone at their truest self, but I've been a professional photographer for 8 years and I learned early on that there's no such thing as *just* a wedding photographer. You can’t just “show up” and take pictures. In order to be a wedding photographer, you also need to be a wedding day coordinator, boutonnière applier, emergency seamstress, bustler, floral designer, your calm within a chaotic storm, and most importantly... the capturer of the most precious memories of your life. Weddings are all about unique relationships, between the Bride and Groom, their family, and closest friends. I love to pay special attention to those little details because it's those moments that we treasure most. I'm passionate about serving my clients with my whole heart and giving them the experience of a lifetime.
