It all started with a deployment and way too many rolls of film.
My son Nicolas was born during his father’s Iraq deployment in 2006, and the only connection he had was through the photos I sent.
Six years as a Marine wife taught me the importance of organization, preparation, and adaptability.
And while I'm no longer a military wife, a second baby (Sage) born during the pandemic with my husband, David, was definitely a refresher in these same lessons.
That perspective never left. It’s why I photograph wedding days the way I do — aware of how quickly they pass and how deeply they matter.

THE PEOPLE.
THE MOMENTS.
There are very few days when everyone you love is in the same place.
The people who raised you. The ones who know you best. The ones who feel like home — all standing beside you now.
The big moments are obvious. I’m paying attention to what happens in between.
The small smirk between siblings.
Your mom wiping away a tear during the father-daughter dance.
Grandparents sitting back and taking it all in — or taking a turn on the dance floor.
Those are the images you'll return to.
This is What Matters
What happens In Between.
If this is resonates, availability can be checked below.
I embrace simplicity, focus on what matters,
& create images
built to last.
At the center of it all are the relationships, the connections that hold everything together. Around them, the architecture and atmosphere of your venue shape the setting where it all unfolds. You chose it for a reason. It deserves to be seen through wide portraits that showcase the space, woven alongside editorial portraits and documentary moments. The result is a gallery that feels balanced and built to last.
On a personal note
Kindness is part of the work.
After being a part of over 300 wedding days, one thing stands out: how you treat people matters.
There’s more happening beneath the surface than most realize. Nerves. Expectation. Emotion. Kindness and patience are as much a part of the work as the images themselves.
People remember how they were treated. That matters.
Share a bit about your plans below and I’ll confirm availability shortly.
