Alongside my beautiful family, I also wouldn’t be where I am today without the support of my incredible clients — many of whom have become dear friends.
I’ve been in business for seven years now, and each year brings new faces, new stories, and new connections that I’m so grateful for. My absolute favorite part of this “job” is being trusted to capture life’s most intimate, emotional, and meaningful moments.
With every session and wedding, my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and totally yourself. I live for the candid moments — the genuine laughter, soft glances, and unplanned in-betweens. You’ll rarely catch me asking you to hold a stiff pose. Instead, I encourage sessions that reflect you. Whether it’s a location you love or a hobby you enjoy, I’m here to follow along and document your story in a way that feels true, natural, and fun.
Hiya! Your future photographer here - and yup, this picture on the left is my whole world.
My husband and I have built a beautiful, blended family that fills my heart daily. I’m a proud bonus mama to Jackson, our soccer-loving, video-game-playing guy, and Paisley, our girly girl who adores dancing, makeup, and dress-up. Together, we also have our daughter Oaklee — she’s adventurous, independent, and always down for a snack (and yes.. she insisted on wearing her green, cheetah jacket for our family photos). Life with these three keeps us on our toes in the best way. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without their love and support.

BEING A MAMA & WIFE
Outside of “photographer,” my favorite titles are mama and wife. I’m so grateful that this career allows me to spend most of my time at home with my kids — watching them grow, learn, and just be themselves is one of life’s greatest gifts. They keep me on my toes and constantly entertained, and I feel beyond lucky to be the one they call mama.
Of course, none of this would be possible without my husband, Chance. He’s my rock and biggest supporter — always willing to help, whether that means driving me to long sessions or wrangling the kids so I can focus on editing or admin work. I truly couldn’t do this without him, and I thank God every day for the life we’ve built together.

STUDYING PSYCHOLOGY
I think my love for photography really started in high school when I took a photography class as a senior. From the moment I picked up a camera, I was hooked — and honestly, I never put it down. But back then, photography didn’t feel like a “real” career path. I thought I had to follow the traditional route: go to college, get a degree, and build a future that way.
After high school, I enrolled at California Baptist University and started as a criminal justice major. That wasn’t quite the right fit, so I switched to psychology — and fell in love with learning how the brain works and why we do what we do.
Even though photography has become my full-time job and my lifelong passion, I’m still committed to finishing my degree. Not just for me — but to show my kids that no matter how long it takes, or how many directions life pulls you in, you can do anything you set your mind to.
My path hasn’t been traditional, but it’s mine — and I’m proud of it. So if I ever take a little longer to respond to your message, there’s a good chance I’m studying.
