After getting my degree in Business Marketing at the University of Nevada, Reno I entered the “real-world” I knew that route was NOT the environment for me.

I realized what I valued most was real, true moments: moments of the heart. I valued finding happiness in the smallest moments that had large impacts. I valued combining emotions, with creativity and capturing that forever.

That feeling of "I never want this to end!" is what inspires my photos, capturing those moments so when you look back on those photos, you feel that feeling once again.

stability. Health. quality time. 

My values.

send me a note to reserve your date

I’m a sucker for relationships. I love my friends. I love my boyfriend. I love my family. I love God. And I ESPECIALLY love my dog Roody and my 3-legged cat Trey. Spending quality time with those closest to me grounds me. I’m the type of person that brings the energy into a room (says my boyfriend) so it’s important to me that I surround myself with those who embrace me and lift me up. It’s also important to me to embrace and lift up those around me.

I’m a sap, I’ve always been a sucker for cheesy romcom movies, I’m a hopeless romantic – I can’t help it. I cry in movies, heck, I cry in previews lol.

Lovers. Adventurers. Genuine Souls. Not Afraid to Get a Little Dirty. Down to Make a Fool of Themselves. Ready to Crack a Beer and Pop Some Bottles.

my dream clients are...

meet your photographer

Warm coffee in the morning, iced coffee in the afternoon.

The sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet when walking outside.

The feeling of wind blowing through my hair on top of a mountain.

i'm an adventurous soul with a love for connection.

The most important thing for me on your wedding day is to make sure you're fully present, to make sure that no matter how many people are with you celebrating your special day, that your heart feels warm and you feel connected to every moment of the day. Your day is meant to feel easy, joyful, and connected to your heart. 

i believe...

love is about having child-like fun, acceptance, being emotionally available, supporting each other, and looking across the room at each other and getting butterflies.

be present & make every moment intimate
