Authentically capturing your emotion-filled moments


Hi! I’m so happy you’re here! I'm a wedding and portrait photographer based in Chicago with a passion for telling stories through images. For me, photography isn't just about taking pictures—it's about capturing moments that matter, the emotions that words can’t express, and the fleeting details that make every story unique.

I've always believed that the most beautiful photographs are the ones that feel personal, authentic, and timeless. Whether it’s the joy of a wedding day, the intimate connection between a couple, or the pure love shared between a family, my goal is to create images that transport you back to that moment every time you look at them.

I found my passion for photography at an early age and was always found with a camera in my hand (I have the baby photos to prove it!). Since then I have been refining my skills behind the lens and falling deeper in love with the art of photography. I decided to continue my education in photography at Columbia College Chicago and while there I discovered fashion and editorial photography. I have since then blended my styles to create timeless and unique photos for each of my clients. I’m excited to get to know you and celebrate you!

 

My Approach


I approach every session with warmth and care, making sure you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, so the moments we capture are genuine and filled with emotion.

I work closely with every couple or family to understand your vision, ensuring that your photos reflect your unique personality, style, and the love you share.

Whether you're saying "I do," welcoming a new addition to the family, or simply celebrating a milestone, I’d be honored to document your story. Let’s create something beautiful together.

MORE THAN JUST A PHOTOGRAPHER

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS

 

Books, books, books! I am an avid reader and love to learn about new books! Tell me about your favorite so I can add it to my TBR.

Enjoying a sweet treat after every meal

My love for Taylor Swift and her music knows no bounds!

If you are a fellow swiftie then you and I will be fast friends.

Going to the movie theater

My incredible fiance, Chase.

We are in the midst of wedding planning like many of you so we'll be able to swap stories!
