a few things that make my heart happy:

This photo is my why. I am mother, wife, and daughter who finds indescribable joy from those relationships. I treasure those relationships, and love to document them. 

I'm a fine art, film-inspired photographer based out of North Carolina. I love to create joyful and soulful photos for the sentimental memory keeper, who wants to hold on to all of the moments. 

I'm a realist, who believes deeply in the beauty of moments and connection. Storytelling is a staple in my family. I grew up gathering around the dinner table, exchanging stories and most of all, exchanging laughs. Growing up, I loved nothing more than looking through the boxes of printed photos my Mom had from her childhood. Taking family photos together was always a highlight of my year, because it gave me something to look back on year after year. 

I believe so deeply in the power of printed photos to unite your loved ones, and that's why I do what I do! 

Not only will I create those heirloom images you're looking for, but I will also work with you to put them into a physical format that allows you to treasure them for decades to come.

Do you know those people who see you? They seem to look past the simple to see right to your soul. 

That's how I felt after my first date with Liam. We met teaching French during our undergrad. Liam is 6'4" and has a very Irish complexion. At the time we met, he wore a bright yellow baseball cap every day, and almost always wore at least two if not three primary colors at a time. In other words, he stood out. 

For our first date, we grabbed burgers at a local burger shop. We ended up talking for four hours straight. The words just seemed to flow as we offered up our life stories to each other. Honestly, I fell in love with him on day one! (Side note-- he didn't. He ended up friend zoning me a month later!) But I won him over!! 

In July 2023, we had our daughter. We are so in love with her!
