So I fell in love with photography at 7 years old when I got my first digital camera for Christmas. What started as snapping everything in sight quickly became a long term passion. In 2017, I upgraded to my first “big girl” camera -- a sony a6000, and began capturing the people I love most—my family and friends. That’s when photography truly became a part of who I am and what I wanted to do for others.
Now I’m just out here chasing good light, heartfelt moments, and the occasional snack between shoots.

mEET YOUR FAVE THIRD WHEEL! ---->
I was born in the PNW and grew up in a very small, rural town. My first job was bailing for a local farm. I loved the small community and the fact that we didn't have anything in "town" except a fire station and a coffee shop. I loved our Friday night lights out there, and basketball was everything to me.
I met my then-boyfriend—now husband—while we were bagging groceries and each other’s hearts during our senior year (romance is alive and well in Aisle 5). We’ve been stuck with each other for over 10 years now, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Life hit fast-forward after that. He joined the Navy, and we basically collected zip codes like souvenirs—coast to coast, military style. Now he’s in the reserves and we’re back home in the beautiful PNW, living our best somewhat-settled life.
<--- tHESE PEEPS ARE MY LIFE
I spend my downtime with my two sweet daughters, my awesome hubby, and whatever snacks they haven’t already stolen.
I thrive on good food, better company, thrifting like it’s a competitive sport, and making dramatic main-character walks on the chilly Oregon coast (bonus points if there’s fog and a good latte involved). I love Jesus, and America too. I am a huge aviation enthusiast, bonus points if you can guess my favorite movie of all time ;)
Our time in the Navy taught me just how precious life, time, and family really are. That’s why capturing memories means so much to me—so we can hold onto them forever. Whether it’s flipping through photo albums or seeing them on our walls, these moments matter. I want to help you preserve your memories too—beautifully, meaningfully, and always at a price that feels right.
As a photographer, I offer a true-to-color, natural approach that highlights the real beauty in every moment. I lean into soft lighting, subtle color enhancements, and a relaxed vibe that lets your personality shine through—no stiff poses or heavy filters here. I'm a relaxed, easy-going photographer who believes photoshoots should feel fun, not forced. I love creating a comfortable space where you can be yourself, laugh a little, and enjoy the moment—because that’s when the best photos happen.
Photography isn’t competitive to me. It’s art, and art is beautifully subjective. Every photographer brings something different to the table, and that’s what makes it special. If you connect with my style, let’s chat and see what magic we can create together.
