So you're probably wondering how I started, what makes me different and if you would share your guac with me. Too soon? Let's start here : I like being photographed just as much as you, which is only if it goes well. I want it to feel effortless, not forced; I want real moments, not posed ones; and most of all I want to enjoy the experience.
It didn't take long for me to discover that the intersection of relationships + creating art was where I wanted to be. Stepping into your story and telling it in an authentic way will always be my passion.
I have spent 10 years as a photographer refining my process and creating images that resonate with digital + film cameras. I take my laid back personality and achiever spirit to change the way you are photographed.
You want to look back and feel.

I shoot on approximately 4 different cameras and that includes medium format film and digital images. Film captures light like no other, and has a timeless beauty that will never go out of style.
I choose to give every wedding client a beautiful handmade walnut print box with a set of proofs. I think having something you can hold, share, display and live with is important.
