Phoebe & Harrison.
This was our very first shoot together—the beginning of their journey. Since then, I have had the honor of photographing two other monumental moments in their lives.

To the Strid family, you are close to my heart.

I loved documenting these special moments for the sweetest couple as they laughed about how soon life would change, and celebrated the secret they’d just decided to share.

Pregnancy announcements are some of my favorite sessions to photograph. There’s this quiet magic in the in-between.. before the baby kicks, before the nursery’s painted, before anyone else fully knows. It’s pretty magical.

Here for every season of love 🫶🏻

They read to each other often.

Last spring on the brick-paved downtown mall in Charlottesville, the scent of paper and the sound of old wooden floors beneath our steps led us here—to a cozy bookstore where time slowed. Where pages turned slowly and glances lingered longer.

This wasn’t just a shoot. It felt like watching a chapter unfold—quiet, intimate, and full of the kind of love that sounds like poetry when spoken aloud.

Because sometimes, love looks like finding someone whose voice you want to hear reading the same paragraph… over and over again.

The sky was heavy with clouds, the air misted with quiet rain — and yet, she stood among the tulips, soft and strong, like hope that blooms even in the storm. There’s something sacred about beauty that doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It just shows up, tender and true.

Black and white reveal the feeling behind the photo—the way they lean into each other, the way her smile softens in his presence, the pause between laughter and the next step. It strips away the noise and leaves only what matters: connection, story, soul.

Downtown Tucson gave us the textures, the shadows, the charm—but it was them that brought the story.

When you book a session with me, you’re not just getting “pretty pictures.” You’re investing in the way your story is seen, preserved, and told. I notice the in-between—the glance, the quiet, the hand-holding, the moments you didn’t think anyone saw. That’s the gold.

I’m here to guide you, serve you, and hold space for your love—exactly as it is. Honest, effortless, and real.

Your story deserves to be art. Let’s create something timeless.

Amid the tulips in Virginia, they held hands like it was still springtime in their hearts.

As a photographer, I’ve noticed that older couples rarely book photo sessions. But to me, this season of life—the quiet, weathered, beautiful kind of love—is one of the most precious to document.

The laughter lines, the years held in a single glance, the comfort of a hand that’s stayed through it all… it’s worth remembering, worth celebrating.

Love doesn’t fade—it deepens. 🌷

Blurry, black and white, and completely them.
They kissed behind a newspaper, and behind them—an entire wall of headlines I pieced together by hand.

Because when my couples have a vision, I’ll do whatever it takes to bring it to life.
Whether it’s building a backdrop, chasing golden hour, or finding magic in the mess—I’m here for it. Always.

In the stillness of a grounded plane, they dreamed like the sky was theirs.
No destination needed—just hearts wide open and time standing still.

Up here, it feels like another world—towering pines, golden light, and quiet pockets of beauty I’ve found after exploring so many hidden spots over the years.

While Tucson summers average 100–110°F, Mount Lemmon stays a refreshing 25–30 degrees cooler—making it the perfect backdrop for summer portraits that feel relaxed, romantic, and full of story.

If you’re looking for a session that feels like a movie—light-filled, natural, and completely unhurried—let’s head to the mountains.

There’s something really special about being trusted with full creative control on a wedding day.
This couple gave me the freedom to style their flat lays and capture the details in a way that felt true to their story—and the result was a gallery they absolutely loved.

Details matter. They hold the tone of the day—the vows, the textures, the intentional choices that often go unnoticed but bring the whole story to life.

If you’re dreaming of wedding photography that values both the moments and the meaning, I’d love to tell your story.
