the gal behind the lens

I'm 28 years old, living in Washington State. I have loved taking photos as long as I can remember and started my photography journey way back in  2019. Whether it's family portraits, a couples session, or getting to be a part of couples wedding days; I  constantly feel so lucky every day to have the honor of documenting such important milestones for such awesome people!  


Born and raised in the PNW, I’m all about iced coffees and outdoor adventures. I love the sunshine equally as much as a moody foggy day. I’m an animal lover and a big people-person who you can always count on finding with a smile on my face.

I lead by my faith,  finding endless inspiration & joy in God's creation, visiting new places, and experiencing genuine human connection with everyone I meet!


I believe the best photos come from real moments — the laughter, the love, and everything in between. My goal is to capture your stories as authentically as I can.  All love stories are celebrated here, I believe every couple is deserving of beautiful images to remember life's precious moments :)


I truly wouldn’t be here without the support of my friends, family, and most importantly the wonderful clients who continue to trust and choose me as their photographer!!


Thank you for being here!!

My photography style is warm, natural, and timeless, with a soft, documentary-style approach to tell your story.


I draw inspiration from nature and genuine human emotions. I live for the little in-between moments that make each experience unique. I help direct and guide you through poses with ease, allowing you to stay connected and present with one another while keeping your photos relaxed and organic.

My ultimate goal is to create an environment where people feel comfortable and free to be themselves in front of the camera, so every photograph reflects real connection, intimacy, and emotion!



I'm so glad you're here.
