Before May comes to an end… 💛

I want you to know a few things. Not as a photographer. Just as a person who genuinely cares about the people on the other side of this screen.

- You are allowed to still be figuring it out.
- You are allowed to have hard days and beautiful days in the same week.
- You are doing better than you think you are.
- The fact that you keep showing up matters more than you know.
- You don’t have to have it all together to still be worthy of good things.
- The people who love you are glad you’re here — exactly as you are.
- Rest is not falling behind. Rest is part of the process.
- You are not too much. You are not too little. You are enough.
- One day at a time is always enough.

And wherever you are right now — it’s okay. You’re going to be okay. 🌸

May has been a full one for me too. The highs have been really high and some of the quiet moments have asked a lot of me. I’m not perfect and I don’t always have it together — but I care deeply, I feel everything fully, and I mean every single word of this.

Here’s to finishing May with grace and stepping into June with open hands. 🤗✨

𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘! 🥳🎂✨

In celebration of my birthday and recently hitting 4,000 followers on Instagram, I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by sharing some of my favorite Columbus spots with the community I love most. These are the places I find myself recommending to everyone — the bakeries worth waking up early for, the cafes that just get it right, the spots that make Columbus feel like home.

Consider this a little birthday love letter to the Columbus foodie scene — from me and these incredible local businesses to you.

The older I get, the more I realize just how lucky I am to call my Mom mine.

Mom, I don’t think you’ll ever fully understand the kind of impact you’ve had on my life — but I’m going to try my best to put it into words anyway.

You have shown me what it looks like to keep going when life gives you every reason not to. Quietly, gracefully, and without ever making it look like the weight you were carrying was heavy. Even when I know it was.

You’ve held our family together through seasons that would have broken most people. And somehow through all of it you still showed up — for us, for me, every single time.

I am the woman I am today because of you. The strength, the resilience, the ability to pick myself up and keep going — that’s yours. You gave me that without ever sitting me down and teaching it. You just lived it and let me watch.

This past year has reminded me more than ever how lucky I am to have you in my corner. On the hard days especially, you are my constant.

Thank you for everything you are and everything you’ve sacrificed that I’ll never fully know.

Happy Mother’s Day Mom and thanks for all you do. 💛

Happy May 1st! 🤗✨🌷

April was a full one. Grad season has a way of doing that — filling your days so completely that you look up and somehow a whole month has passed. I’m sitting with a lot of gratitude for the people and the moments that made it what it was.

𝐀𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐲, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈’𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨:
- Celebrating more Class of 2026 Buckeye grads 🎓
- Actually having a social life again 🤪
- Getting back to my classes
- Intentional time with the people I love
- Planting new herbs and flowers in my garden
- A birthday around the corner 🥂
- Listening to whatever my body and mind need
- A quiet staycation for Memorial Day weekend
- training ahead of my June competitions in NYC 💪

Thanks for being here and being you. Here’s to May! 🌸

Some sessions just stay with you. 🥹

Olivia came with her Mom, her sister, and her best friends by her side — and from the very first frame it was obvious how special that was. There was so much love in that group. The kind you can’t manufacture and you definitely can’t pose.

She was easy going, genuine, and had this quiet confidence about her that made my job feel easy. The kind of client that reminds you why you do this in the first place. 📸

Olivia, you haven’t walked across that stage yet — but watching you show up so grounded and so sure of yourself, I already know you’re going to do something really good with what comes next.

To the family members, siblings, and ride or dies who show up to these sessions — you are so much of the reason these photos feel the way they do. Thank you for that. 💛

Class of 2027 — it’s never too early. I’m already starting to book grad sessions for next year and would love to save a spot for you. 🎓

04/20/2026

The first photo from this session is of the guys on the front porch of their house. Nothing glamorous about it. No perfect backdrop, no golden hour light, no carefully curated location.

But every single one of them was relaxed, happy, and completely themselves. 🤗 And honestly? It ended up being one of my favorites from the whole day.

That’s kind of what I’m always chasing. Not the perfectly posed shot in front of the prettiest location in Columbus. The one that actually looks like you. The one you’ll look back at in ten years and feel something.

And guys — can we talk about this for a second? Grad photos aren’t just a “girl thing.” You worked just as hard for this degree. 🎓 You deserve photos that actually reflect that. The ones your loved ones are going to cry over and you’re going to be genuinely glad you have.

Grad photos should feel like yours. Your people, your places, your energy. I’m just here to make sure it’s captured well.

Class of 2027 — spring sessions are limited. If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s a good time to reach out. ✨

Good music, easy vibes, and photos that actually look like you. That’s the goal every single time.

tOSU 2027 grads, let’s get your session on the calendar! 🥳

Busy season has a way of moving fast if you let it. One session rolls into the next and before you know it, you’re already looking back wondering where the time went.

I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. About how easy it is to be physically present somewhere and still miss it entirely.

There’s something about standing on a campus that shaped someone, capturing a moment they’ll never be able to get back, that pulls you right into the present. The quiet pride on a grad’s face. The way four years of hard work settles into something that finally feels worth it. You can feel the weight of it, in the best way.

If you’re in a season that’s moving faster than you’d like, I hope you find a minute in the week ahead to look back at how far you’ve come. Not to dwell, just to acknowledge it. Some seasons deserve that before you move on to the next one.

These photos exist for exactly that reason. 💛

𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐘! 🥳✨

I’m so excited to continue celebrating reaching 4,000 followers with you — and this second collab is one that hits close to home. 💛

Fitness and wellness have always been a big part of my life — not because I have it all together, but because I’ve felt the difference it makes. When I’m moving my body, recovering well, and actually taking care of myself, I show up differently. More present. More grounded. More me.

And that’s exactly what I want for my clients when they step in front of my camera.

So much of what I do as a photographer is creating a space where people feel comfortable enough to just be themselves. That kind of ease doesn’t come from nowhere — it’s built in the everyday moments. The morning workouts, the wind-down rituals, the small choices that remind you that you’re worth taking care of.

These vendors are people I know and trust, and this bundle is a reflection of that. A little investment in how you feel — so you can show up fully, in front of the camera and everywhere else.

When I’m not photographing grad sessions at The Ohio State University , you can catch me and my Mom running it. 🏃‍♀️

I ran The Ohio State 4 Miler today and my Mom was right there with me the whole way. Quality time with your people is everything. Go Buckeyes! 🥳💛
