As an empath, I find it so important that you're able to see the woman beneath the business. Taking time to connect as friends brings a unique experience that goes beyond a wedding or session. Consider this a sneak peak into our new friendship.
Photography will always be a part of who I am. I'm honored to share my art, and my heart with all of you. There is so much beauty in documenting people as they are and the lives they lead. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your journey.
Family means the world to me, and that includes being a proud mom to my furbabes. Even more so, I find it pretty dang cool that I'm married to my very best friend, and that our unique love story allows me to connect with my clients on a relatable level. Dyl and I are living proof that love can be found anywhere, even when it starts with a swipe right. Our journey together has had it's challenges, but when you look at the little things, it's been nothing short of incredible.
MY LIL' FAM: DYLAN, DIXIE & WINSLOW
Jumping on a plane, or hopping in the car is what refreshes my soul. I'll forever be grateful that this career allows me to document love in cool places. It's taken me all over the US: California, Colorado, Tennessee, Virginia, Indiana, Utah...just to name a few. Exploring somewhere new is the best way to recharge my creativity, and I'm always ready for an adventure. Beach, Mountains or across the pond-- if you got somewhere to go?Count me in!
TRAVEL
DIET COKE + GRANNY HOBBIES & BREAD
You can bet you'll catch me ordering a Diet Coke at your wedding, there's nothing quite like a fridge cig. But the way to my heart is arts n' crafts, a slow burn romantasy novel & fresh sourdough baking in the oven.
(And yes, I'll gladly share my starter: Doughly Parton)
MUSIC & THEATER
Nothing puts me in my feels more than seeing a live concert or a Broadway show. I grew up listening to my mom's music: Fleetwood Mac, Shaina Twain, Celine Dion, Billy Joel, Elton John... (you know the classics) Now as an adult my Blazer Bops playlist shuffles names like Ed Sheeran, Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan, Dolly Parton & Hozier. If you really get to know me, you'll def hear me talk about my time in theatre. I've been attending shows since I was a little girl, and performing in them since middle school. Unfortunately you can't catch me on stage anytime soon (I've got weddings to shoot) but if you throw on a showtune?? You're getting a concert for sure.

The title Photographer has been a part of who I am for so long now, that I couldn’t imagine life without it. My art, my love for seeing the world around me, has shaped who I am as a woman, wife, friend…and has grown with me over the years.
My story, in a very short 30 years, has been long but full of little, beautiful moments. A camera has been in my hands since I was a kid, born and raised in Rochester, NY to a Kodak family. Film, point and shoot, (eventually digital) cameras we’re at every family function, on road trips, back stage at drama club, on crime scenes, high school dark rooms and now for my own clients.
Choosing to work with me is signing up for an authentic experience, because I pour my heart and soul into this. Someday I hope to look back and see through all the challenges, hard work and tough days, there was so much light, joy and success that came with it.
With a lot of damn good photos to show for it.
