My photography journey began in 2012 after a hard first year of college. I felt lost and back at square one trying to figure out what I wanted to do in life. That summer, I found I was meant to be a photographer and dove in head first. I graduated from UofSC in 2016 with my photography degree and shot my first wedding just months later. Through the years, I’ve been a full-time wedding photographer and then a full-time motherhood photographer but I’ve come to realize, my heart is happiest when both worlds collide. It’s the joy on a bride’s face when she says “I do” to the love of her life and the love on a mother’s face as she rocks her baby and plays with her children that inspires me.
With a documentary approach to my photography, my goal is to make you feel safe, comfortable and well loved during our time together. My hope is that we capture the stage of life you’re in as authentic as it feels and you have these albums to look back on for generations to come.

HI, FRIEND!
ON A NOTE....

I'm a proud wife and mom to my amazing family. My husband, Jared, and I have been together since 2011 and married in 2018. We welcomed our son, Leighton, in 2020 and our daughter, Carter, in 2024.
Our favorite things as a family are playing games, going for walks and cuddling on the couch! I'm a big fan of anything chocolate and sushi. I love home design but can't make a decision to save my life so most of my home is still pretty bare. I'm a scrunchy mom who is still trying to figure out how to juggle all the things but I'll get there - right?!
My greatest joy in life is being a mom and a wife and I love to sharing that with my clients.
