I book a limited number of weddings and portrait sessions each year.
I believe in creating a fun, comfortable space for my clients to open up, relax and truly enjoy their time in front of my camera. I understand that, for many, having photos taken can be a stressful experience. That's why I'm committed to cheering you on, melting away your fears and showing you what a fun experience it can turn out to be. We will walk, talk, laugh and twirl our way through our time together, and create incredible memories and beautiful images along the way.
I'm a born and raised Michigander living out my coastal dreams in Los Angeles, California. I've always been passionate about photography. I've been behind a camera since 2010! I love spending sunsets with my clients and capturing their unique personalities, love and families. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find my exploring new restaurants, spending time with family or curled up with a good book.
That Christmas with my first camera isn’t the only one that played a significant role in my journey. My grandmother always marveled at how much I looked like her mother, my Great Nana Lucia. One day, she handed me an envelope with her wedding photo inside. When I pulled it out, my heart skipped a beat. Although I’d never seen the photo before, it looked so familiar. I ran to grab my own wedding album, and my soul sang when I saw a photo of myself on my wedding day that looked so similar it was as if I’d planned it. That moment of connection was something I’ll treasure forever. I believe the true power of photography is in those little moments of connection and the preservation of stories and loved ones long past. That is why I place such heavy importance on delivering excellent, timeless galleries. So that someday, your great-granddaughter can have the same moment of unspeakable connection that I felt, whether you are present to share it with her or not.

A decade ago, I burst through the basement door of my childhood home on Christmas day and found a Canon Rebel perched on a tripod waiting just for me. In the handwritten note accompanying it, my dad encouraged me to follow my dreams...
