I still have moments where I have to remind myself that this is actually my job. I get to witness some of the most important chapters in people’s lives and turn them into memories they can hold onto forever. That kind of trust is something I’ll never take lightly. To every couple and family that chooses me thank you for letting me do what I love. 🤍

Vegas weddings will forever have a piece of my heart.

The lights, the chaos, the running around with a camera while trying not to get hit by traffic on the strip… somehow it all makes the day feel even more electric. 😂

But truly, Eric + Sydney thank you for choosing me. Out of everyone, you trusted me to document one of the biggest days of your lives and that will never be something I take lightly. Getting to follow you guys around Vegas capturing all the love, excitement, nerves, laughs, and little in between moments was so damn special.

This weekend was such a reminder of why I do this.
The long travel days, late nights editing, carrying way too much camera gear through casinos… all worth it for moments like these. 🤍🎰✨

Every year I forget how much I miss outdoor sessions until I’m back outside with a couple who says ‘we’re awkward’ and then proceeds to look like this in front of my camera.

Like??? Be serious.

The sunshine, the movement, the little in-between moments, the architecture, the wind cooperating (for once) this is my version of serotonin honestly.

Outdoor season is officially back and I’m ready to romanticize every single session from now until the snow comes back to personally ruin my life again.

Home from Mexico!
Short, sweaty, chaotic, beautiful, and so incredibly worth it. I still can’t believe we all somehow survived that heat 😂 but honestly, getting to spend the weekend with such an amazing group of people made every second worth it.

A huge thank you to Jorden and Zack for choosing me to be a part of such a special chapter in your lives. Being trusted to capture your wedding, your people, and all the little in-between moments is something I’ll never take lightly. You two created such a fun, welcoming, love-filled weekend and I’m so grateful I got to witness it all firsthand.

Mexico owes me about 14 gallons of water and a recovery nap… but my heart is very full.

The last several years of doing this job have honestly changed me in the best way possible.

I still catch myself having moments where I step back and think, how is this actually my life?
That people trust me to document some of the biggest, most emotional, joy-filled moments they’ll ever experience is something I don’t think I’ll ever take lightly.

What started as “I just really love taking photos” somehow turned into meeting the most incredible people couples who feel like friends, families who welcome me in immediately, and complete strangers who somehow end up leaving such a lasting impact on me.

I’ve laughed with you, cried behind my camera with you, danced at your receptions, hyped you up during portraits, and been trusted with memories that will matter long after the wedding day is over. That’s not something I’ll ever be able to fully put into words.

There have been long days, exhausting seasons, moments of self doubt, and a lot of learning along the way… but through all of it, I just keep coming back to how unbelievably grateful I am that this is what I get to do.

To every single person who has booked me, supported me, referred me, shared my work, or simply believed in me thank you. Truly.

I don’t think you all realize how much of my life and heart this business holds, and I feel eternally lucky that it continues to bring such beautiful humans into my world. 🤍

Indian weddings are honestly on a whole different level of beautiful. The colors, the traditions, the energy… it’s not just a wedding, it’s a full experience.

I don’t get to photograph them as often as I’d like, but every single time I do, it feels so special. There’s so much meaning woven into every moment, every detail, every outfit—it’s impossible not to be a little obsessed with all of it.

Thank you Kait & Travis for welcoming me into your home and making me feel like family right away.

Truly one of the most special weddings to be a part of. 🤍

From the beginning to now getting to witness Nevada & Tristan step into parenthood has been so special to be a part of. Moments like this are a quiet reminder of how beautiful life really is 🤍

Ladies & Gentlemen, my wedding season has kicked off with a bang, and wow! What a way to start the season off.

Catherine & Josh where do I even begin. Thank you for trusting me, for going along with every slightly ridiculous pose I threw your way without questioning it once, and for just being the kind of people who make this job so easy to love. I’m so, so grateful for you both.

And to Simone (.eva.photo) my right hand, my sanity, the best second shooter I could ever ask for. I will never not have the best time working with you. Truly wouldn’t want to do this without you ♥️
