Ok y'all, this is why I'm here.
As a kid, I was drawn to anything that let me explore and create. When I picked up a camera for the first time at seven years old, I didn’t know it would become such a big part of my life. At first, it was just something fun—an outlet where I could experiment and make something entirely my own. Over time, it grew into a way for me to process the world around me and express ideas I couldn’t put into words. Photography became a source of purpose and joy, a way to see the world differently and find meaning in the everyday.
As I got older, I became more aware of how complicated and imperfect life can be. But I also began to notice how certain images and stories could cut through the noise and remind us of the beauty, resilience, and wonder in the world. Whether it was a photograph or a film, these pieces of art seemed to capture something deeper—moments that felt timeless and true, larger than the chaos they came from. They gave me hope and a sense of connection, showing me that even in a messy world, there’s so much worth celebrating.
I love capturing what people value in their lives. Their lives don’t have to look anything like mine—in fact, it’s amazing when they don’t. I’m here to tell stories that really matter to the people in them. What’s in those stories? That’s up to you.
That’s what I aim to create—photos that reflect the meaning and beauty in people’s lives. For me, photography isn’t about Instagram or proving anything about myself; it’s about telling stories that remind people of what they love. The world is full of remarkable people and places, and I want to celebrate the hell out of that.
Driving across the country, going on random hikes, and living out of my Subaru for a week. That’s my happy place. I love a good adventure, and the thrill of waking up in the back of a car somewhere I’ve never been before is the most comfortable feeling for me. Throw in a film camera and a jet-boil for roadside coffee and you’ve got a recipe for a good vacation.
These days I’m just as happy to put on a suit and drink cocktails as I am to put on a backpack and hike a mountain. I love situations that invoke a sense of curiosity. I’d rather be curious than complacent, and my job allows for a lot of that. Growing up my family moved around a lot, so I got used to meeting new people, new places, and new ideas. I’ve carried that with me and it’s developed into an appreciation for all types of settings.
Photography means a lot to me. It’s a way to connect with people and places I might never have encountered otherwise. It’s a way to uncover the beauty in people’s lives and relationships and give it back to them in a tangible way. Whether it’s telling a grand story or capturing the quiet moments in between, photography allows me to go deeper when I meet someone or experience somewhere remarkable. When I see beauty, I feel compelled to preserve it. Life moves fast, and moments can pass in an instant—photography helps hold onto them.
Every time I work with someone, I care deeply. This isn’t just a job to me—it’s personal. I don’t want to take photos and move on to the next project. I want to invest in your story, understand your challenges, and celebrate your triumphs. This isn’t about a paycheck or building a social media portfolio; it’s about you. I want to get to know you, capture what matters most to you, and hand it back in a way that you can revisit whenever life feels uncertain. There’s something powerful about being able to look back at the beauty we’ve experienced. Life is unpredictable, but those moments remind us of everything that’s worth holding onto.

Howdy! I’d love to learn more about you and your story!
I’ll get back to you within 48 hours Monday through Friday. My weekends are for time spent with family and friends when I’m not out photographing weddings! Sometimes it takes slightly longer for me to respond during periods of travel and scheduled sessions with my clients. I try my best to focus on my clients’ stories and experiences. I’m thankful for your patience and understanding, and I promise to be in touch soon.
Every couple I work with deserves to have my complete attention, that’s why I only take on a limited number of weddings and elopements each year.
