On My
Approach
Storytelling and portraiture are the two things I do best. No matter the subject or circumstance, I find a way to connect with and capture the soul of those I photograph.
My dance background of eleven years, paired with my professional graphic design and photographic specialties have given me a keen eye for the nuances of even the smallest moment or gesture - allowing me to not only pose and guide my clients with the utmost care but to beautifully and expertly capture the fleeting, candid moments before they pass by.
Finding
your match
Deciding who you’d like to document this precious season of your life can be difficult. Ultimately, it comes down to to who you connect with. Beyond working to surpass your expectations by providing honest and romantic images of your uniquely beautiful love story, I am known for the positive and calming energy I bring to the wedding day experience. My clients have described my presence as “warm and encouraging - ” helping to make them “feel at ease” in front of the lens and as we move about through the long and thrilling day. It has been written that I am “incredible to work with,” and that my “talent is apparent not just in the quality of the pictures (I) take, but also in the experience (I) create for those that (I) photograph."

My goal as a wedding photographer is to give you a collection of photographs that reflect each of the five senses you will experience on your wedding day. By working to cultivate the perfect wedding-day timeline, once your wedding day rolls around, the only job that remains is for you to sit back and let the day unfold. My shooting style is an artful combination of both guided portraits and photojournalism. So while I do gently pose my clients, I also step away from this practice, allowing time to unfold in an authentic way so I may capture truly candid moments.
