Romantic artists created work that was never just about what you could see, it was about what you could feel. The emotion, atmosphere, light, nature, solitude, and sense of wonder within their art has deeply shaped the way I approach photography.✨

Romantic artists weren’t focused on perfection or “rules” they were focused on feeling. On light, wonder, emotion, and the beauty of the world around them. They created art that made people pause and feel small in the best possible way.

That’s exactly what I hope to do with my camera.✨

Caspar David Friedrich’s work feels quiet but powerful. The way he used light, solitude, nature, and atmosphere inspires me deeply as a photographer. It reminds me that photos don’t always have to be loud to be meaningful. Sometimes the softest moments carry the most weight.

I think that’s why I’m constantly chasing foggy mornings, dramatic skies, stillness, movement, and emotion over perfection.

Art that feels alive will always matter more to me than art that feels staged, so if that’s what you’re searching for.. than I’m your girl! ✨🩷

Just a little heads up for all my clients + friends ✈️

I’ll be out of town Monday the 18th through the 25th!I’ll still be checking messages when I can, but response times may be a little slower than normal.

If you’re one of my upcoming brides and feel like you may need to contact me while I’m away, send me a message and I’ll give you my personal number.

Also… for everyone I told I was going to Oregon… don’t be too shocked when you see me posting from a slightly more tropical location instead. 😅

Stay tuned to see where I end up. 👀

There are some wedding days that just feel special from the very beginning, and John + Amanda’s day was one of them. ✨

Amanda’s got some moves! 👏🏻

Everything about their wedding felt genuine the quiet moments, the joyful chaos, the people surrounding them, and the way they looked at each other all day long. Nothing felt forced. Just two people completely present with one another and soaking in every second.

One thing I loved most about this day was how peaceful it felt. Even in the middle of a full wedding day timeline, there was this steady sense of joy the entire time. The kind that reminds you what weddings are actually about in the first place.

Getting to document moments like these will never get old to me. The emotional hugs, the happy tears, the laughter during speeches, the little in-between moments nobody else notices …those are always the photos that matter most.💕

John + Amanda, thank you for trusting me to capture such an important day in your story. What a beautiful start to forever. ✨🩷

Motherhood deserves to be remembered in every season! ✨

I’m so thankful for every mama, and sweet family that came out for this year’s Mother’s Day minis. Watching you love on your babies, laugh together, and slow down for a moment in the middle of busy life was such a gift for me to capture.✨

Thank you all for trusting me with your memories and for supporting my little business. I truly appreciate every single one of you. ✨🩷

There’s just something about watching a proposal happen in real time! ✨

And when it happens in a place that already feels special, it makes it even sweeter, those little details end up becoming part of the memory forever.

I don’t think people realize how emotional these moments really are until they’re in them. It’s not about perfect photos or perfect plans.

It’s just two people loving each other enough to choose forever. ✨🩷

“Let there be light”, and there was! One of the first Gifts God, ever blessed the earth with! ✨

The same light that began it all, now wrapping around new life with so much grace.
Faith, softness, and the sweetest kind of waiting.

So excited for Sadie and Sheldon! ✨🩷
