let's connect

Being true to your personality and view of your world is important to me. My focus is on delivering you the most beautiful, authentic, “oh my gosh, I can't believe this is US!” photographs. Perfection isn’t forced, candid moments aren't setup, so the end result is true to you. Telling your story through my art is the biggest blessing, and your trust is an honor I don't ever take for granted! 

I will always work with you as a team from start to finish. It's not just me "working for y'all as "just a vendor". As we we work together, one of my favorite parts of working with you is when we can let our guards down together. I promise that the magic happens when all parties involved are super comfortable with each other, invested, and genuine friends! That's how we will make the most raw, beautiful art.

Inspiring Me Lately,

02

think we'd be a good fit? let's chaT!

I am married to my very best friend in this whole world, and together we have the cutest littles, and adopted the fluffiest German Shepherd. We live in Washington State, but we are always driving all around Oregon, back and forth to Utah and scrolling Zillow for our dream homes in Arizona or Texas. 

My love language consists of Sugar-Free RedBull and words of affirmation.. I love trips to Costco just as much as a trip to Target. I love high fashion and editorial moments as much as I love a walk on the moody pacific northwest coast or my favorite pair of leggings. Oversized flannels, daily naps and snuggles with my kiddo and fur child are staples in my life. I am a follower of Christ and do my best to be an example of our Savior in everything I do. I couldn't live my life without podcasts or music... I have everything downloaded to Spotify at all times! I'm an iPhone girl through and through.  

this is anything and everything you should know about me

BEHIND THE SCENES

03

I've loved cameras my whole life I am one of those people. I always was begging for disposable cameras and any kind of powershot digital camera. I saved my babysitting money to go to Walgreens and print things off for my school binder and to cover my bedroom walls. I took photography in high school where I learned to develop film and how to toggle camera settings and I have been hooked ever since.

Photography is so important to me because memories fade. I'm not even old yet and my own memories are already starting to change a little bit as time goes on and there isn't anything I wouldn't do to make sure I have photos to remember all the moments and milestones in this life. I love sharing that with others and making it possible for everyone else to celebrate and keep their memories forever too!
