A lover of all things coastal, vintage, and TIMELESS.
meet your photographer
Some fun facts about me:
While I stepped into the world of photography because of my love for cameras / photographs, I quickly realized that the job required more than just good camera skills. Being able to get real people comfortable enough to put their guard down while being in front of my lens was the most beautiful challenge I’ve ever taken. It wasn’t the reason I started, but it’s now the reason I continue to do what I do. Nothing fulfills me more than getting to know you, tell your love story, and freeze it in time forever.
- I married the loml in North Carolina on September 1st, 2022
- I'm a cat person all day long
- I'm 23 years old, but my husband and I are very much old souls
- My love language is acts of service
- I listen to a great variety of music, but my favorite artists include Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Sabrina Carpenter, SZA, Mac Miller, Norah Jones, and so much more!

If astrology is your thing, my sun sign is Taurus and I like to think I fit the description of one perfectly. I’m a major homebody, but love to travel, which is why living on a sailboat is an absolute dream come true (yes, you heard that right hehe). My husband and I have been based in Fort Myers, Florida for the past 5 years. Come January 2025, we will be setting sail to
travel up the east coast of the U.S to find a
new quaint town we can call home!! Don’t worry, this won’t effect us working together! My books are still open and operating as usual :)
Some would describe me as down-to-earth, reliable, empathetic, and loyal. I can vibe with just about anyone and love to be around genuine, fun loving humans.

The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles, goosebumps.
I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your flow as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, crinkle-eye smiles. There’s nothing more beautiful and fascinating to me than the pure joy, excitement, and comfort of two people in love. For me, it goes beyond just capturing weddings... I value marriage itself.
