as seen in:

Although I grew up in New Jersey, Cleveland is where I now call home. I’ve lived in four states, including Hawaii, and love to travel as much as my bank account will allow. I’m a big advocate for staying up past my bedtime. I love to sip lattes while staring out a coffee shop window. I quote The Office way too often and I can honestly never have enough ice cream.

When I’m not documenting love stories you can typically find me hiking in CVNP, drinking an IPA at a local brewery or binge-watching The Office from my couch surrounded by my husband and furbabies.
And if it’s a really good day, all of the above.

I love Jesus and serve at the Church in Willoughby, OH.

So grateful to be the mama to this crazy, smart, fun little girl.

We're 100% the kind of couple that has spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen.

behind

Telling a couple’s love story is what draws me in most, the quiet spark that made me fall in love with this work in the first place. While my connection to photography began years ago, it was photographing my first couple that truly transformed it into something deeper.

Now, more than eight years later, I’ve refined the art of anticipating and preserving those once-in-a-lifetime moments—the ones that unfold naturally, never to be replicated.

It matters to me that your images feel honest and intentional. Not just beautiful, but deeply true to you—memories you can hold onto long after your wedding day has passed.

There's a really good chance that if you look at me on a wedding day, I will have the biggest smile across my face. This is because I love witnessing and documenting couples stories. It's such an honor to be invited to one of the most special days in a couples relationship. Whatever your story includes, I’m here for it. Because your love is incredible and deserves to be documented, exactly as it is….

celebrating your love

Working with a limited number of couples each year allows for a personal and approachable experience. I believe in kind-hearted communication, transparency and approachability with your vision, values and priorities. This means I truly love getting to know my couples on a personal level and becoming friends from that very first email.

kind-hearted & approachable

Meaningful photos come from meaningful relationships. I want my couples to be able to relax and be fully present in each and every moment, knowing that I am able to create my best work when there is complete trust in my relationships. With hundreds of wedding photographed, and all the details meticulously planned, my couples have complete trust I will preserve their story and bring their vision to life.
