I'll be the one taking your picture, trying to make you laugh with my jokes, obsessively fluffing your train for every photo and fighting back tears as you share your first dance with your forever best friend.
I love what I do. I've always been the girl with the camera, you can ask any friend I have. Growing up, I always brought a camera on youth group retreats, family vacations, Friday night football games and even to school just because. I've always cherished capturing and preserving favorite moments in my life, and now I get to do that as a job for YOU! There's literally nothing better.
I'’m not the best at it, but I love it. My favorite trails I’ve done are Chain Lakes in Washington and Navajo Loop in Bryce Canyon. I feel the most alive when I'm outside, in the mountains, on a trail.
Hiking in the great outdoors
Shooting Film
I mostly shoot film while on vacation or hiking, but it's a goal of mine to incorporate it more into my workflow as well. I love the rich tones film produces. My favorite stock is Portra 800.
Reading
When I was younger, I loved to read and it's something I've recently reconnected with. I'm a sucker for a good love story (no surprises there) and my favorite book is probably Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
Musical Theater
I've become quite the musical theater nerd over the years. My favorite show I've seen on Broadway is Sweeney Todd. Other musicals I love are Hadestown, Dear Evan Hansen and In The Heights
Traveling
Who doesn't love to travel? I love seeing new sights outside of my Floridian bubble and experiencing different cultures. My favorite place I've ever traveled to is Tokyo, Japan.
Cherry Blossoms
My favorite flower is without a doubt sakura, better known as cherry blossoms. I find the dainty, pale pink petals so lovely. In fact, the shade of pink is my favorite color!
Listening to music on my record player
If I'm not listening to an audiobook while working, then I'm probably listening to one of my favorite albums on my record player. I'm a big fan Hozier in particular and have all his albums on vinyl. (Photo from his concert I went to in May 2024).
Cats, but especially my cats
I'm a certified cat lover. If you have a cat, then chances are I'm going to want to pet it. I have three of my own: Mumen, JoJo and Misa, they're my kittos and I adore them.
BOOK YOUR WEDDING COLLECTION
Which is why I think it's so important to hire a photographer who cherishes those moments for you and is ready to preserve those memories as they unfold.
