If you don't already know me, I'm your wedding day bestie!! I'm here for anything you need - snapping BOMB photos, keeping the bridal party on track, picking the best photo locations, + I'll even pass you a tissue if you need it. I'm a fun-loving + candid + bare foot + have a good time kind of girl! On a wedding day, my goal is to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and to focus on the raw + real moments.
Growing up from third grade on I was home schooled (and no I wasn't your typical introverted have no life kid haha!) I was actually the complete opposite! Through high school, I thought I wanted to do be an occupational therapist. In my junior year, I joined a career center where I applied to get into the health and fitness program to begin the journey for being an OT. As a student, you had to have a secondary choice and mine was photography. Turns out the fitness program was full so I automatically was put into photography program. I thought it would be a fun hobby or side job but never my full time career. After two months into the program I knew this was the calling God had on my life. That's where my journey began and the rest is history.
If I'm not shooting, you can catch me spending time with my husband Bryon, our son Koda, and our two cats Finn and Blue. When I have alone time, I'm editing at a local coffee shop. They are basically my second home. Also, incase you were wondering an iced honey cinnamon latte is my favorite!
Bry and I started dating in March of 2018, and since I know you’re going to ask, I’ll just tell you (but you aren’t allowed to laugh!!!) … we met on Tinder. But to hear the full, in-depth story, we’ll have to meet for coffee hehe!
After five years of dating, I married my best friend on July 24, 2022, and in October of 2024, we welcomed our first little boy, Koda, into the world. Now we have Milo, too, and these three boys are my absolute favorite humans. I could go on and on about how thankful I am that the Lord chose them for me, but I’ll spare you the sappy stuff (for now).
When I’m not behind my camera, you can usually find me doing all things life with my little crew. We love being outside, going on long walks, finding hidden places to hammock, and doing just about anything that makes the boys laugh. Bry and I also love trying new recipes (emphasis on the word trying), watching all things Law & Order, and eating our way through all the Mexican, Asian, and Japanese food we can find.
These days, life looks a little louder, a little messier, and a whole lot sweeter with two little boys in the mix. I’m learning to slow down and soak up the little things, because as cliche as it sounds, those are the moments I never want to forget.
Well there are many reasons, but the one that is close to my heart is meeting new people..hey this could be you! Especially, those of whom I probably wouldn't have ever met if it weren't for this amazing art: photography. The camera kind of acts like an icebreaker. It helps me form a conversation with just about anyone. Our conversation won't even be halfway over and it'll feel like we've been friends for years. This art, this special, special art, gives me the gift of meeting you.
