I’ve always been wired for wonder. Photography just gave me a way to hold it. to keep the fleeting things from slipping through our fingers. I show up with curiosity, a camera (usually two), and a genuine tears-in-my-eyes adoration for what I do.

I’m the one who holds her breath during the quiet parts. Who pays attention when something small suddenly matters. I won’t ask you to perform. I’ll ask you to be, and I’ll be paying attention.

& I think you’re just the most beautiful thing in the world.

You aren’t a script to recite. you’re an unfolding story, surprising in beauty and honest in imperfections.

Every session is a collaboration born from curiosity and trust. I’m here to guide you, to listen to what you hope to remember, and to translate your laughter, your depth, & your quirks into images that feel as genuine as the life you live.

HERE TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR REAL-DEAL, OVER-THE-MOON ‘MY ONE & ONLY’ TYPe of LOVE.

  • nope! BUT - I can provide you recommendations for some of the best in the biz. contact me!

  • I’ve developed a unique style of photography that is deeply rooted in photojournalism bleeding into documentary style, while influenced by fine-art and romantic photography. My style is a blend of poetic documentary and editorial storytelling.

    My editing leans true-to-life color with a soft, cinematic touch. I want your images to feel how your day actually felt. emotional & real.

    I pride myself on artistry & expressive imagery. To see examples, please visit my gallery.

  • ooooooooohhhhh yes.

    During our session, I shoot on a dual slot camera with two SD cards so there are two copies of your photos at all times in case of a freak accident and one card fails. Immediately after our session, I back-up the images to the cloud, as well as an offsite hard-drive. At any given point, there are two copies in two different locations.

  • I don’t! At the RAW state the images don’t yet represent my photography. Part of what you’ve invested in me in my post-processing!

  • For my wedding clients: 4-6 weeks. My goal will ALWAYS be for you to have them on your 1-month anniversary or sooner.

    For portrait sessions, I estimate 3 weeks. I’ll always give you the most current estimation at the end of our session.

  • I’m based in the beautiful Charleston, SC - but I’ll hop on a plane worldwide for you.

    I keep my travel fees EXCEPTIONALLY low. like really low. I get the privilege of working as a content creator in city hubs, which allows me to offer my clients travel at the lowest rates you’re going to find.

  • There’s no set number I guarantee, because every wedding and every session is so completely different. But I’m a chronic ‘overshooter,’ and I’ve never had a client say they didn’t get enough. During our consultation let me know if you’d like to see some complete galleries to get a feel for my deliverables.

  • You receive all high-res edited images via a beautiful & private, protected online gallery (the site I use is called ‘Pic-Time’) where you can download them to your computer, as well as share with friends and family. You and the ones you love can order ridiculously gorgeous products off the site such as prints, albums, & cards.

    Make sure your photos don’t die on a hard drive! :)
