A PHOTOGRAPHER, INTERN THERAPIST, & TRAUMA-INFORMED YOGA TEACHER—

with a heart for helping others feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

Photography has been in my heart for as long as I can remember - woven into my childhood as I watched my parents build a photography business of their own. By fifteen, I was second-shooting weddings, teary-eyed behind the lens as strangers became family for a day.

Today, I blend heart and artistry to tell stories that feel like home. Whether you're growing your family, marrying your person, or sharing your work with the world, I’m here to witness your story and capture it with care.
