Chasing beautiful people around the world with a camera in hand, one story at a time.
Kansas, Colorado, and Destination Wedding Photographer
I believe every love story is different, and yours is no exception. For over a decade, my forte has been capturing the magical, unscripted moments that tell one-of-a-kind stories.
By the end of your wedding day, we're not vendor and client anymore. We're friends who just created something beautiful together. And that's how it should be.
"It felt like hanging out with a best friend who just happens to take incredible photos."
This is exactly the vibe I'm going for. Yes, I'm your photographer—but I'm also your hype woman, your timeline keeper, your "let me fix your veil" person, and your biggest cheerleader.

What They Said
Fantasy novels are my favorite reads, but I'm also a sucker for love stories and historical fiction.
I adore tattoos and hearing the meaning and stories behind them.
I have a growing collection of coffee mugs and tea cups.
If there is a F.R.I.E.N.D.S or Disney trivia night, you’ll want me on your team!
When it comes to music, I’m usually jamming to show tunes, Sleep Token (or any other metalcore band) or Taylor Swift (yes, I am a Swiftie!).
I am OBSESSED with lavender—the color, smell, adding it to my lemonade, tea....or in a lavender martini!
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS:
Because you’ll arguably be spending more time with me than any other wedding vendor, I think it’s best you learn a little bit about who I am.
When I’m not helping plan or photograph Kansas City weddings and Colorado elopements or destination weddings for adventure seekers, you’ll find me loving on my two girls and husband at home. My hobbies include binge-watching Disney movies and getting lost in a book with a tall glass of white zin in hand!

My Values
PRESENCE IS THE GIFT
-Your only job on your wedding day is to show up and feel everything. The photos, the details, the moments you didn't even know were happening? That's my job. You hand me the responsibility of remembering, and I take that seriously every single time.
REAL OVER REHEARSED
-I'm not interested in stiff poses and forced smiles. I'm interested in the way you actually look at each other, the tears you didn't plan on, the chaos of getting ready with your people. That's where the real imagery lives, and that's exactly where I'll be.
COMFORT IS MY SUPERPOWER
-If you've ever said "I'm not photogenic" or "I hate being in front of a camera," you're exactly who I had in mind when I built this business. I work slowly, I work warmly, and I work in a way that makes you forget I'm even there, until you see the gallery.
EVERY DETAIL HAS A HOME
-You spent months choosing the flowers, the invitations, the ribbon on the bouquet. I see all of it. From the macro details sitting on a windowsill to the wide shot of your full celebration, nothing gets overlooked, because nothing about your day was an afterthought.
