About
After years of being a photographer for my family and friends, I’ve decided to turn something I’ve always loved into something I can share with others.
How it started
I got my first digital camera at nine years old and quickly became obsessed with taking pictures and videos of the people and places around me. That digital camera eventually became an iPhone, and my love for photography eventually matured to my first real camera, a Fujifilm X-T5, which I use today for my professional shoots. What started as an appreciation to capture the world and beauty around me eventually grew into something I’m excited to share with you.
Beyond the camera
In addition to photography, I am a wife, a daughter, an aunt, a friend, and a registered nurse. I am no stranger to life’s intimate moments. Through this, I’ve come to appreciate how quickly life can change and how meaningful photographs are to capture memories forever.
My approach
As a photographer, I have always been drawn to capture candid moments — ones that help you remember what moments felt like: glances between two people, laughter shared among friends, anxious looks, or quiet moments in between. I intend to capture composed portraits along with the small candid moments in between that help you remember not only what your day looked like, but how it felt to be there and share in the joy.
