I care, a lot. I care about you and your loved ones, and I haven’t even met you yet. If you’re reading this sentence right now, I care about you because I know that something resonated with you enough to make it to this corner of the internet and my website. And if you’ve made it here, I’m going to assume, hopefully without making an ass out of you and me, that you want a photographer you connect with on a personal level and who you trust on a professional level to provide you with creativity through cherished memories you’ll look back on for a lifetime.

I picked up my first camera at age 14.

Within a year I attended a two-week intensive photography camp in Vermont where I learned how to shoot manual. On day 1 of camp they told us if any of our submissions throughout camp were taken in automatic, we would not be eligible for redeeming college credit for the camp. I went into the camp with next to no knowledge of how to shoot a camera in manual, and I left exclusively shooting manual. I took a few more photography classes in high school and college, and my work was published for the first time when I was 17.

Through the rest of high school and college, I spent my non-school and non-sports time practicing. I used my friends as models until the moms in the community started offering to pay me to photograph their child’s high school senior portraits. Through college, I photographed countless high school seniors, families, graduates and first ever LinkedIn headshots.

I started photographing couples and weddings in 2018, and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Past clients have shared they appreciated how laid-back, yet proactive, organized and communicative, I am. This experience should be fun, enjoyable, memorable. You’re marrying the love of your life and planning what may be the biggest party you’ve ever thrown. It requires a tight ship, but it should also be a fun ship. There’s no reason the two shouldn’t coexist at the same time.

While one could argue growing up with two incredible corporate America professionals as parents could pass as a line item on a resume in business professionalism given the corporate buzzwords in my vocabulary at a young age, however, I’ll point instead to my five-year background in corporate America.

I show up for weddings and sessions giving you the authenticity I’d give my own friends. In return, my number one goal is to provide you with final images that feel like you. I don’t want you to look back on your photos and remember feeling like things felt forced, unnatural or inauthentic on your wedding day. To achieve that, I get to know you and use all the cues I perceive to provide a documentary experience where I’m 95% a fly on the wall and 5% gently though firmly leaning in for guidance during the moments that call for it. Additionally, my editing style falls under “enhanced reality,” meaning, I also don’t want you to look back at your wedding photos and see a different color scheme than the one you so carefully picked out. I focus on true to life editing with an extra pop.

Before going full-time as a wedding photographer, I spent five years in project management roles in corporate America. Working in client service at agencies and tech companies, I helped multiple Fortune 100 companies answer multi-million dollar research questions, so I understand the importance of timely responses, organization and detailed, clear communication.
