MY STORY
How It Began
I picked up a camera for the first time in high school—back when I had no clue what I was doing, just a gut feeling that I loved capturing people as they were. It was all crooked horizons and too much contrast, but it sparked something in me. In college, I began learning the craft more intentionally, and that’s when things started to click—literally and creatively.
Since then, photography has become so much more than a creative outlet. It’s a way for me to slow down and connect with people in meaningful ways—documenting stories that feel deeply personal, beautifully real, and full of heart.
I’m a wife, a mama, a lover of adventure and everyday magic. I believe in messy hair, morning light, and that no moment is too small to matter. Whether I’m photographing couples in love, families in their wild season, or seniors stepping into a new chapter, I show up to every session with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart.
a few fun facts about me
No. 1
HALLOWEEN IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR
Dressing up? I’m all in. Halloween is my excuse to get creative, and I take it seriously—so much so that our wedding cocktail hour was Halloween-themed. Think moody drinks, playful details, and all the spooky-chic vibes.
No. 2
I MET MY HUSBAND THROUGH XBOX
Yep—true modern love story. We met in high school playing Xbox, even though he lived on the other side of North Carolina. Fast-forward a few years, and now we’re married with a baby boy. Still the best teammate I’ve ever had.
No. 3
I’VE BEEN SKYDIVING—AND I’M READY TO GO AGAIN
Jumping out of a plane at 14,000 feet? Best decision ever. Now it’s on my bucket list to go again, but even higher. (Because why not make your heart race for the view of a lifetime?)
