If you were to ask me what sets me apart, as your wedding photographer; it wouldn’t be the amount of experience I have. The places I’ve been. The price tag on my gear. How quickly I can get you your photos back. All of those things do hold value from the business standpoint. But I would hope that it would be how intentional I approach every couple I meet. How highly I honor the covenant of marriage in the eyes of God. When your family and friends lift their hands to pray over you, I join in. Before I even get to your venue, I invite the Holy Spirit to allow me to see the fingerprints of the divine throughout your day. And when I get home, I cull your photographs one by one, I try my best to consider how each one will make you feel. How close I can bring it back to the moment in time that it was experienced first. I’ve learned that trying to rush what was intended to be cherished is not the way to go for me, personally. I’m the photographer for the client who wants to live presently in the day, cherish their photos for years to come in photo albums and frames, not just instagram.

I never get over how much beauty and glory this calling brings to my life. How uniquely and personal every love can be.

Karlie & Sebastian, and their incredible families; thank you for your incredible hospitality and kindness. Truly God-fearing people who have raised an amazing woman and amazing man. This was such a special intimate day, as always, thanks for having me. 🤍

Jeannie + Tony, and the star of the show, sweet Charlie! 🐶🐾

Dreamy, spring, bright; maternity sessions have my heart this year! And if you’re ever wondering if your fur babies are welcome, the answer is always YES. 🤍

Vanessa’s and Jonathan’s most precious loved ones near and far gathered under large oaks & willows for an intimate ceremony to join union. As we walked, talked and laughed it was easy to see how two people can be so right for one another and compliment the best parts of a heart. As the night went on, several moments I took notice and admiration to the way Jonathan gazed at his bride, fulfilled and loved. Vanessa, full of kindness grace and poise. A safe and gentle place for her groom to rest and be himself.

This was a special one for me and a full circle moment to be back in a place I spent my childhood.

Thankful for the kindess and hospitality of the people who allow me into these days and be my most authentic self.

Graduating with a Bachelor of Arts, Double Majoring in Political Science & Communication Journalism.

Alisha has a radiant spirit about her. During our session I felt captivated by her knowledge, endurance and motivation to succeed and be challenged by the goals she sets for herself. Truly in awe of her self confidence and desire for a full and beautiful life. I cannot wait to see what she conquers next! ❤️🎓🐺
