I’ve dreamed of being a photographer since I was a kid.

Now, with over 20 years of experience and a Fine Art Photography degree, that childhood dream has evolved into a passionate pursuit: telling authentic love stories and capturing moments that matter. I have a natural eye for design and a love for genuine connection—creating imagery that feels alive, artistic, and full of heart.

I’m especially drawn to the in-between moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, the fleeting emotions that often speak the loudest. My style blends documentary storytelling with effortless editorial direction, capturing both intimate, unscripted moments and sweeping, cinematic scenes with energy, emotion, and elegance.

When I’m not behind the camera, life keeps me busy and inspired. I’m married to my college sweetheart, Jeff—you may even see him capturing alongside me at weddings. We have two wonderful daughters, Olive and Lucy, and two sweet pups, Paco and Gus. I live for strong coffee, historic homes, antiquing, and a really good lobster roll.
