I specialize in capturing couples in their element and celebrating the vibrant spirit of outgoing seniors during the special seasons of life! I’m an entrepreneur by heart, dedicated to instilling confidence in others, prioritizing spontaneous life experiences, and driven by a passion to craft joyful, lasting memories.
Priority number one for me is building trust! I value getting to know you personally because photography, to me, is about more than just snapping photos—it's about fostering genuine connections and friendships.

Just wanted to let you know that we are thrilled with Drew's senior photos. The locations you picked are beautiful and the lighting in the photos is amazing. The girls, both in the photo and behind the camera, are pretty amazing too! We are so happy with them, and more importantly, so is Drew. Thank you for your work with her. We appreciate all the effort you put into getting to know her.
"She was clearly comfortable & felt confident with you because of it."
OH. MY. WORD. JUMA!! We just finished looking at the photos and are floored. They look so great. You were INCREDIBLE at providing clear directions. I’ve never seen Brad so comfortable in photos. You are the Brad whisperer. Seriously such a fun experience. We’ve been gushing to our friends for the last hour. You did such a phenomenal job capturing our joy! Thank you again for such wonderful photos.
"You did such a phenomenal job capturing our joy!"
JUMAAAAAAA MY FAVORITE PERSON EVER - thank you so so much for everything!! You are the sweetest human being and the best hype woman. You make all of the people you photograph feel so confident with the way you compliment them and hype them up! I was so stressed the days leading up to today but now that it’s done I literally feel like I just spent the day with one of my closest friends (and got the most AMAZING pictures out of it)!
"You make all of the people you photograph feel so beautiful!"
Exceptional Quality
In my photography, quality isn't just a standard; it's a commitment. Every click of the shutter is dedicated to capturing the finest details, the perfect light, and the genuine emotions. From composition to presentation, I ensure each image reflects the utmost standards of excellence—because your memories deserve nothing but the absolute best.
Intentionality
At the core of my photography business lies intentionality—an unwavering commitment to crafting each moment with purpose and meaning. Intentionality ensures that every photograph captures not just an image but an emotion, a story, a cherished memory. Every photo is more than just an image; it's a carefully composed story, meticulously tailored to reflect the essence and emotion of your moments.
Spontaneity
Spontaneity is the secret ingredient that makes every session come alive! It's about capturing those unexpected, genuine moments—the candid laughter, stolen glances, and pure, unfiltered joy. Embracing spontaneity ensures that each shot is not just a memory, but a vibrant and authentic experience frozen in time.
