Welcome! Here's a few quick fun facts about me! I can't tell you how much I love living in Ohio (moved in 2016 from FL) because hello seasons! While summer is my absolute fave, I can't decide on second place (def between spring or fall!) But aside from that, I snort when I laugh, I get giddy about road trips, I find joy in building the perfect playlist, and I'm on a mission to visit as many of Ohio's breweries and state parks as I can. My ultimate bucket list item would be visiting every National Park in the US. While I love adventure, travel, and exploring, truth be told some of my best memories were right at home with my cats cuddled up by me, a cup of coffee (or glass of wine!) in my hand, something good on Netflix, and my husband making me laugh.
Let's be friends!

I know all too well what it's like finding that special someone. I met my husband at a time in my life where I didn't expect to find love. Our wedding day was a day I'll never forget and the images I received meant so much to me. The relationship I have with my husband is absolutely the most important part of my life. Without sounding cheesy, he is my best friend!
I've always loved photography and it was a hobby for many years. I started my business in 2018 thinking that I could take my hobby and make it something more. I never thought I'd do weddings, though! Through happenstance, I was able to photograph my first wedding in 2020 and that's when I discovered how much FUN it was. It was like a spark had been lit within me. I get to create beautiful art and also spend time with lovely couples on the best days of their lives? Sign me up! I went right into setting my business up to be one that focused on the wedding experience. Good photos are of course important, but you should ENJOY the process!
I feel fortunate to have been chosen by many couples to capture those moments I know are so dear to their hearts. So, if you're reading this, I hope to do the same for you!

With so many images living on screens, the experience of flipping through a beautifully crafted album feels all the more meaningful. It invites you to slow down, revisit each moment, and truly take it in. Each wedding collection includes a linen heirloom album to preserve your story in a way that lasts.

Marriage
A strong marriage is the bedrock of a happy life (I truly believe this!) Finding your partner that you want to commit to for the rest of your life is simply soul-fulfilling.
outdoors
I've visited a ton of national parks and state parks. I love to go on hikes, take a boat ride, or just sit outside by a fire.
Travel
I love visiting new places. I like trying new foods, drinks, and exploring all that a town has to offer. My favorite trip so far has been to either Montana or Maine!
taking photos
Long before I started photographing weddings, photography was a passion of mine. I learned on a small camera back in college, and was always taking photos with my phone. Some of my friends joked that I was the "historian" of the group since I documented every moment!
