Welcome to the place where dreams come true. (wait... is that only Disney World??) eh, well I feel like this is close. Because your dreams are what I live for! And we can at least say this is where our friendship begins.
I'm a passionate, Florida-based, sassy gal who is down for it ALL. The crazier the adventure, the better. I love Jesus, the mountains, coffee and stupid jokes and dancing and all the plants. When I don't have a camera in my hand, you can find me catching a sunset with my wonderful husband, curled up with a book or hanging with my pup or my plant babies. Most importantly, I thrive on the joy of being a storyteller and making people feel known.
My dad has always told me that my biggest struggle is wanting to be "omnipresent " - wanting to take advantage of every opportunity, soaking up every ounce of joy available and hating when I miss out on anything! but I embrace it. I LOVE LIFE and the new story and beauty that each day holds.
Big or small. Loud or quiet. I believe your moments matter. Whether you find yourself at the top of a mountain peak or in your parents small town backyard,... your story, your love and your moments - they matter. My passion to serve my clients in such a way that honors who they are and the story they share. Every quirk, dream, and passion that makes you....YOU is important to me. I want my couples to walk away loving life and each other a little more through the time we spend together. I show up for you to cultivate REAL connection and joy. No stiff and cheesy shots - how about we genuinely tell your story? Because no one else has one like it. And I think that's pretty much the coolest.
My number one goal with all my clients is that I will walk away not being just your photographer, but your friend. I want to be the resource for all your questions. I want to be your encourager + your supporter + your biggest cheerleader. I will celebrate you on your wedding day as if I've known you my whole life. That includes crying at your ceremony (always - can't stop, won't stop) and breaking it down with your bridal party on the dance floor.
As a photographer who has been doing this for over 7 years, I offer the perfect balance of professional and personal. I work hard for my couples and am constantly growing myself to better serve them. I want you to be able to truly relax and have every confidence that your day is being captured in a way that tells your story. You choose me? I will be there for whatever you need, give you gorgeous pictures to show your grandkids and offer you a unique experience that you'll never forget.
When you invest in me, I invest 100% into your story.
I cried when I got my first real camera. Being able to capture raw beauty and freeze the most precious moments in time has always invigorated me. I thrive behind the camera - it's where I feel most myself. Even after doing this for over 7 years, I still get crazy giddy every time I shoot, and it's pretty much guaranteed that I will squeal often while capturing your love.
I'm not the perfect photographer for everyone. And I don't ever want to pretend that I am. I work hard to set myself apart - I bring unique things to the table and that naturally means that my style of photography won't be the best fit for everyone. My style is very emotional, moody, candid and documentary. My goal is always to bring out your personality and capture 100% real + raw joy and emotions that are completely unique to you. Authentic connection = authentic pictures. That means I shoot no two weddings or sessions the same - I invest completely into your story and all my efforts go into capturing that (not really a Pinterest pose or Celebrity inspired shot). If you dig the unconventional, don't mind getting your dress a little dirty and running a little wild... then we may be a perfect fit!
Quality over quantity. I only take a certain number of clients a year because I pour all my heart into helping MY people. My clients know that they get all my best effort, my undivided attention and all of my passion. Timeline planning, wedding vendors, outfit opinions, detail prep - I got you covered! I will tell you again and again that I am your NUMBER ONE advocate. I will do whatever I can to make sure your day (and all the planning before) is the absolute best it can be!
