Happy holidays! 🙃


I’ve been MIA on social media- this year has been nuts. I’m so blessed to have had the work on top of a new unexpected full time job but I have certainly learned my capacity. 😬


Here’s to growth, adaptivity, and a healthier 2021 🥂✨

Anyone else coming out of hibernation? I shot these gorgeous images in the middle of a freezing cold winter's day. Baby has already been here for a 7 weeks!


I've had a tough time with the stay-at-home order if I'm honest. I get bad seasonal depression over the winter and to come into a spring where weddings and photoshoots and work is postponed was awful. But good things are coming! I miss being behind the camera and capturing all the amazing folks that come into my life.


Here's to spring and beautiful memories to come ✨🌱

Hey friends,

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! I think this is the first year I'm not bothering to wear green. Honestly, I'm not too worried about getting pinched for my Irish heritage (thanks mom for the Irish background 🍀) as everyone has to stay 6ft away from each other.


Mighty strange times we're living in. There's a lot of darkness and fear and uncertainty (especially all my friends in the wedding industry, and couples who's plans may disappear this spring).


One thing I know, is that we will survive. We'll all get through this. Sometimes a shadow is needed to show the true beauty that hides in brightness. Remember to call your loved ones to chat, help an elderly neighbor get some necessities, and encourage the love that remains when all the day to day routine has been stripped away. Because it's there and stronger than any virus, or financial troubles.


We got this 🖤

Do you know what my favorite part of spring is?
LILACS! 💜
Let's do mini sessions this spring when the lilacs bloom!! 🌸Since it really depends on the weather I can't throw out specific dates until I start seeing those blossoms.
There's usually about a 1 week window to show with the lilacs at their prime. Are you interested in a lilac session?! Please let me know and I will add you to the list!!👋🏻
Spots will be first come/first served but if you let me know now that you're interested, you'll first dibs before I announce them publicly! So excited you guys, I can't even tell you!

Happy Leap Year!
I've been brainstorming (and having some melt-downs, let's be honest 😬) trying to find out how to balance my many (too) many jobs.

My passion is photography so I can't wait to get some changes made so I can be in the studio more. This week I got up there for two amazing shoots. There's nothing as invigorating than creating art with amazing and talented people. ✨Can't wait to share some of the finished shots! In the meantime, enjoy this stunner of a portrait of a real bride, Marissa, from our fun session this past summer!

Do you remember what spring feels like? 🌦🌷Seasonal depression hits me pretty hard so I'm doing my best to look forward towards spring and use this time to grow. The sun we've had over the last few days has been amazing and dare I say, rejuvenating! ✨I'm getting geared up for an amazing 2020 wedding season and I can't wait to get more brides into my new studio! It's really a game changer 😍

What are you looking forward to most when it comes to spring?
