In 2008, I fell in love with wedding photography, and I haven't put my camera down since. Seventeen years later, I've built a body of work I'm deeply proud of, ranging from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations, from Chicago's most iconic venues to destinations abroad. Experience shows up quietly in this work: in the moment caught before anyone else saw it coming, in the light I found that no one else was looking for.
I'm also a homeschooling mother of three, a traveler, a book-lover, and a storyteller at heart. My couples know me as a person, not just a photographer, and that ease shows in every frame.

I've always loved stories. I self-published my first book at age 10, with contact paper and duct tape, and my library put it up on display. Currently, I get to tell beautiful, incredible, real-life love stories, using my camera and my blog. One day, I'd love to write and publish an actual book... without the duct tape!
