Yesterday was the sweetest, most relaxed kind of engagement session.

Jenna & Andrew took me around their family farm, where we just walked, explored, laughed, and stopped at some of the prettiest little spots along the way.

And the best part? This isn’t just any farm t’s the exact place where Andrew proposed to Jenna. 💍 So getting to photograph them here felt extra meaningful.

And today is Jenna’s birthday! 🎂🤍

I can’t wait to celebrate with you in September 2027, and I already know it’s going to be such a good one.

Happy birthday, Jenna! 🥂🎂

It was so much fun photographing these two at Sandy Hook! We explored in and around the rocks, splashed in the water, laughed, and just enjoyed the evening together.

I love when engagement sessions feel natural and fun and these two made it so easy. 🤍

They planned the wedding. The weather wrote the story. ☔️🌧️

Killian and Cody’s August 8th wedding at the Onteora Mountain House had it all. Sunshine , Rain, Misty Mountains, tears , laughter , dancing . And even fireworks. ☀️🎇💃🏻🕺

Sometimes the best Photographs aren’t the ones you planned. They are the one that simply happen. ❤️

Would you have danced in the rain on your wedding day?

Killian and Cody’s wedding at Onteora Mountain House in Boiceville, New York, was one of those days you don’t forget. It was hot. It was humid. The sun was shining and then, completely unexpectedly, the rain came. But nothing about the weather could stop these two from having the kind of wedding...

Booking 2026 & 2027 weddings 🤍

Your wedding day goes by so quickly, the excitement while getting ready, the moment before you walk down the aisle, the way your friends and family celebrate with you.

Those are the moments I love documenting most.

When couples reach out, we usually start with a quick Zoom call where we talk about your wedding vision, timeline ideas, and what moments matter most to you. It’s a relaxed conversation and a chance to see if we’re the right fit.

If you’re planning a 2026 or 2027 wedding, I’d love to connect.

Send me a message or use the link in my bio to schedule a call. I can’t wait to hear about what you’re planning.

Feeling incredibly grateful and a little bit in disbelief! ✨

I was recently contacted by Professional Photographers of America to be featured in their March magazine. They interviewed me and shared an article highlighting my photojournalism work and my passion for capturing real, authentic moments.

It’s such an honor to be recognized by an organization I respect so much and to have my work included alongside so many talented photographers.

This year has already brought some amazing opportunities, and I’m feeling really thankful for all of it. Photography has given me so much, and I truly love being able to create and capture genuine moments for people.

Thank you PPA for the feature and for this opportunity, it truly means the world to me.

I can’t believe it . I screamed when I heard my name called for FIRST PLACE at the Icon Awards! 🎉swipe to watch !

Seeing the top 10 images in my category, I honestly didn’t think I had a chance. Every year, I enter hoping to place in the top 3, and this time I did it! I’m so proud of myself for submitting that image at the last minute, just days before the online deadline. I thought, “Why not just try?”

A huge thank you to and ! You guys are so funny and entertaining I laughed so hard watching you two making jokes on stage! I can’t express how grateful I am for the support from everyone who has rooted for me, judges, friends, and all those who believed in me. This win means the world to me!

Behind the shot 📸

Amidst the drizzling rain, I stood at the entrance of this beautiful chapel, waiting for the perfect moment. It’s not just about capturing images, it’s about telling stories. This moment speaks to the resilience and grace of love, no matter the weather. 🌧️

What a privilege it is to witness such a special day unfold, reminding us that every moment, rain or shine, holds its own beauty.

This international competition features the best photographers from 57 countries, with images judged and awarded Olympic-style medals. The finals will take place this April in Iceland, and I’m incredibly proud to represent the U.S. on the world stage.
