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 dream has grown into a heartfelt passion for telling authentic love stories and capturing meaningful moments. I have a natural eye for design and a deep appreciation for genuine connection—creating images that feel honest, artistic, and full of life.

I’m especially drawn to the in-between moments—the unposed ones that often speak the loudest. My style blends documentary storytelling with a gentle touch of editorial direction, capturing both natural moments and the grand, sweeping scenes with emotional richness and effortless elegance.

When I’m not behind the camera, I have a pretty adorable life. I’m married to my college sweetheart, Jeff—you might even meet him at your wedding, as he often photographs alongside me. We have two wonderful daughters, Olive and Lucy, and two sweet pups, Paco and Gus. I live for coffee, historic homes, antiquing and a good lobster roll.
