As crazy as that sounds, it's true! From getting ready to dancing through the night I will be the one by your side! Which is why I’ve come to understand that perhaps the most important part of being a good photographer is knowing how to read the room!
To sense when you need a quiet breath alone, to match the energy of your bridal party, to help ease tense relationships, and to bring calm to any chaos. When you are feeling overwhelmed, I’ll help slow it down. When a tender moment unfolds, I’ll capture it with care. When nerves rise, I’ll be a reassuring friend. When things don’t go to plan, I’ll be a grounded presence. Because I’m not just there to take your photos. I’m there to be present with you, and celebrate with you as a genuine friend. To feel the heartbeat of your day as it happens, and to tell your story from within it.

These can be anything from maternity photos, a pregnancy reveal, newborn sessions, or those sweet and crazy days with your toddler. I'm along for the ride! I specialize in small families with little ones and love creating galleries for you to commemorate each new season of your family with.
If you tend to feel awkward or stiff in front of a camera, you're definitely not alone! That's why in a session with me, it won't be up to you to figure out what to do. It is 100% part of my job to make sure you not only feel comfortable, but confident! None of those stiff poses or forced smiles. I will guide you with action oriented prompts that spark movement and laughter throughout your entire session! I'll be your hype woman, letting you know what looks good, directing you almost like a film director so you never feel awkward, and can just relax and enjoy the process!
Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot or performance. It’s a living, breathing story overflowing with emotion, meaning, and so much love. And my heart is in capturing that realness with artistry and intention. I don’t believe beauty and authenticity are opposites, but that they belong together! I want your gallery to feel elevated, timeless, rich in emotion and most importantly, rooted in lived experience So while prompts and guidance are important, a huge part of my job is knowing when to direct and when to quietly step back, letting the genuine, unplanned moments unfold just as they are.
I will always prioritize keeping my business relational, and never transactional. I never want to just take some photos and call it a day. I want to know you, be a supportive and reassuring presence, and celebrate your love story like an old friend would! And my faith is at the very heart of this! It’s what gives me and my business its heartbeat: to serve you with the same kindness, attentiveness, care, and joy that Jesus has shown me. So when you book with me, know that you are not just a number or a check mark to me. You are a person, a friend, and someone I truly care about!
I'll balance between being a fly on the wall and providing guidance and direction! Practically this means during couple or bridal party portraits it won't be up to you to figure out what to do! I will direct you with action oriented prompts to keep you guys moving and having fun all while capturing beautiful, timeless images full of joy and genuine emotion, without that feeling of awkwardness. But for most of the day, I'll be discreetly capturing all the planned and unplanned moments as they unfold naturally, creating those "time stood still" images that you'll cherish forever. Overall my priority is always to make you feel comfortable, be a genuine friend and support to you both, have a creative vision and eye, and bring your vision to life.
As a wedding photographer, I have a good sense of how long each part of your wedding will realistically take to photograph, and I want to be a resource for you in this regard. With my experience and your vision, we will create a timeline for your wedding day that feels un-rushed and stress free so that you're able to relax, be present, and soak in the joy of the fact that you are getting married to the love of your life! Practically this means that about 4-5 months before your wedding, I will send you my timeline questionnaire covering all the logistics and details of your wedding. This questionnaire will include questions on your venue, addresses, order of events, vision, priorities, values and so much more. From there, I will create a custom day-of timeline for you, and will work closely with you to adapt it to fit your vision!
As my business continues to grow, my heart is really in capturing couples, weddings, and elopements. That’s where I feel most at home and inspired. But every so often, I’ll open up a handful of spots for maternity and family lifestyle sessions throughout the year! If that’s what you’re hoping for, keep an eye on my Instagram for announcements so you can snag a spot when they go live!
Absolutely! While I am based in Chicago and Colorado, I make space in my calendar to take on a hand full of destination weddings a year so please reach out! I would love to go wherever your love story takes you!! When you inquire, I’ll send over my full pricing and service guide, which includes all the details on how my travel fees work, so you’ll have the full picture and can plan confidently before you decide to book!
YES!!! When you inquire, I’ll send over my full pricing guide, which includes a package that includes full wedding day coverage as well as rehearsal dinner coverage! This one is for the couples who don’t just want their wedding day remembered, but the whole celebration. So often rehearsal dinners and welcome parties slip by without a camera there, and yet those moments are so full of magic. It's your last night before becoming husband and wife, surrounded by your favorite people, buzzing with anticipation and those sweet night-before jitters. I love getting to capture the hugs, the toasts, the laughter, the gathering of closest family and friends, and the butterflies so you can relive it all for years to come.
Your wedding digital gallery will be online and accessible for at least one year, and you will receive a one months heads up from me before I take it down so you have plenty of time to back up your memories! Although I recommend you download and back them up as soon as you receive your gallery for safe keeping!
When you're ready to make things official, I'll send you a digital invoice and contract for the first third of your package total to reserve your date in my calendar! The next third will be due half way between booking and your wedding date, and the final payment a week before your wedding!
