LET'S COnNECT:
Since I can remember, I've always had a deep connection to and a love of all things photography related - from the beginning planning stages of your session to seeing you filled with {joy} when you receive your printed heirlooms.
My passion has always been to capture both genuine connections and joyful + genuine moments, but I also love a thoughtfully-designed styled session. I find {joy} in connecting with people + being a part of their story. I'd love to tell yours.
When I'm not behind a camera, I'm settling into our new home in Greenville, SC with my incredibly supportive husband, Jason, and our three rescued fur-babies - Annie & Chloe (dachshund-mix pups) and Sophie (Himalayan cat). We previously lived in Old Town Bluffton, SC - a place that we love dearly and hold close to our hearts. In my downtime, I enjoy gardening, being on the water, hiking, finding new eateries, interior design, and being involved & serving others in our community. Coffee, my camera, a beautiful location, and clients are the combination to my perfect day.
I look forward to getting to know more about you and documenting your story through joyful & timeless imagery!

THE FACTS quiz
get to know me better!
The love of my life and the man who fervently pushed me to chase my dreams. He's my biggest cheerleader and encouraged me take the leap of faith to start my photography business. Jason witnessed my love for photography - not just taking your photos, but my love for documenting your stories and creating moments that will be treasured by you and your loved ones for years to come.
MY partner IN all THINGS...
A few THINGS I believe IN
print your images
take the photos
chemistry matters
joyful moments
I wholeheartedly believe that your images... your life's most special moments....deserve to be documented for you and your loved ones to cherish for years to come. While I deliver my images in digital format, I believe in printing your images so much that each of my Collections include a print credit. The one image format that has stood the test of time is real, tangible photographs. Your story deserves to be preserved in quality, archival products.
Life gets busy and we can always find the excuse as to why we don't have time to slow time or make time for photos. We all come up with the excuses of when it would be better timing or when we'd look better or {insert today's excuse}. The reality is that life is short and these moments are fleeting. One day we will all look back and wish we had just taken the photos.
Who you choose to work with matters. That is typical in most areas of life and is important even more so when capturing your life's moments. You want to be comfortable with someone and leave a session feeling like you've gained a new friend. I photograph the majority of my clients one to two times per year, which means I have the honor of knowing them, watching their children grow, being involved in difficult moments in life of losing a loved one or battling cancer. Your photographer is more than someone holding a camera - I am witnessing and documenting your story.
While I am always going to do my best to get "the shot", my focus for your session is to capture joyful & genuine moments. I want to capture the real you! That is where the true magic happens. That is where each your personality really get to shine. Don't worry though, I will pose you in your session so that you feel more comfortable and no one is worrying want to do with their hands. Your session will be filled with joy, laughter, and memories will be made.
