i’m full heartedly all about capturing real emotions - authentic, personal, “make you feel something” emotions. i love capturing all the graceful movement, natural reactions, and genuine smiles during both sessions and wedding days. i want you to be able to connect with me and my work, so that i can connect with you too and together we create magical images you will cherish for years.

this has been on my mind for quite awhile. my socials and website galleries going forward will no longer showcase images where your children’s faces are fully visible.

why? i completely understand parents being hesitant of revealing too much of their children’s identity online. so simply put, as your photographer i want to help you. i get that so much of your own story includes your kids and wanting to share family photos online is normal. but it’s also normal to want to protect your kids! so you’ll see less faces around here, but you’ll still see that there is so much love poured into these photos and the relationships seen in them.

photo sessions can truly be dates (with occasional prompts) that you get to witness again from a different perspective.

most of my favorite sessions are more activity-based and less “smile at the camera, it’s photo time!” think activities you love to do together, places you love to visit, something you always talk about doing but never do.

capturing you authentically will always be my priority as your photographer. that’s why i love working with my repeat clients so much — we grow together. we get catch up chats, exchange life updates, and build friendships.

always creative. always emotion-driven. always eager to cheer on small businesses. always cherishing little moments.

this little girl had no clue whatsoever and could not even fathom where she is now. but man, how i strive to make her proud every day.

👋 amelia here! concert photographer with a marketing background, turned full time wedding industry pro, portrait photographer, and brand content creator.

i’ve been documenting love and lives for over a decade. live music since 2011. weddings since 2014. content creation since before it was even social media based.

i love hanging out with rad couples, supporting my community, and promoting small businesses. so the fact that i get to do all of that within my full time job is a forever “pinch me” feeling.
