Q&A
Connect with this vendor by getting to know them beyond their work.
What is your specialty or personal style?
I’ve been shooting still film and working in darkrooms since I was 16, so intentionality is at the core of everything I create. My style blends an editorial eye with imagery that feels deeply human. Beautifully composed, but never forced. I guide when needed, then step back and let real moments unfold. Because I’m able to make people feel genuinely comfortable, their personalities come through naturally on camera. The result is work that feels timeless, artful, and alive. Photographs that look like they belong in a magazine, but feel like you.
Couples hire you because…
They see themselves reflected in my work. My portfolio feels both timeless and distinctive, elevated without chasing trends, artful without losing authenticity. What they’re drawn to is imagery that feels personal, not generic.
I also bring a calm, grounded confidence to a wedding day. I’ve photographed hundreds of celebrations, so my couples know they’re in steady, capable hands. That ease allows them to relax, be present, and fully experience their day. And that’s when the most meaningful photographs happen.
What is your favorite thing to do when not working?
When I’m not working, I’m fully in mom mode. As a wife and mother to three boys, my family is everything to me. You’ll usually find me on the sidelines cheering at hockey, football, or wrestling matches. I love moving my body with hot yoga and Pilates, getting lost in a good romantasy novel, working in my garden, tackling projects in our 1815 farmhouse, or hunting for vintage treasures while thrifting.
Home, family, and creating beautiful spaces, that’s where I recharge.
