I am a professional photographer specializing in wedding, destination wedding and portrait photography based in Middle Tennessee, but my love for capturing your stories has no  limits, as I am available for travel for any event.

I live in a small farm town with my husband, love to travel and document people and places. I have always had a creative mindset and my passion is photography. I am an enneagram 3 and a Capricorn. My style is heavily influenced by fashion, music and a vintage aesthetic. 

Throughout the past 5 years I have focused on full-time wedding photography which has brought me to the most amazing places around the world. I am honored to be able to capture your story and create those timeless images that you will cherish forever.

As a documentary photographer, I intuitively know that small details can make a big difference in how you feel about your photos. And I am naturally adept at making adjustments to the tilt of your head or the angle of your hips to highlight your best features.

My number one goal: To give you our all while we capture it all.

You'll find that I am a playful and professional photographer who will rise (and dress) to the occasion. I care more about providing standout experiences than my own egos or bottom line. And I go out of my way to finesse situations so my couples can stay in the moment.

With me, the only challenge you'll ever face is deciding which photos to frame.

Unique Approach

My approach to fine art documentary photography allows me to tell your story in a candid and unobtrusive manner, preserving the genuine emotions and intimate details that make your wedding day truly extraordinary. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a sandy beach, amid majestic mountains, or in a charming foreign city, we are dedicated to crafting stunning images that encapsulate the essence of your destination wedding. Trust me to be your creative guide, capturing the beauty and romance of your special day, so you can relive those cherished moments for a lifetime.

My ultimate goal during every session is to make you feel comfortable in front of my lens. My job is a balance between knowing when to say nothing and document candid in between moments as they unfold, and when to coach you through playful fun movement. Together as a team we’ll bring your vision to life and capture the essence of love you’re looking to frame and hang on to forever.

My Philosophy

I shoot a mix of 35 mm film and digital photographs. I find every photograph taken on film to be very intentional because you get one shot at it, there’s somewhat a mystery to what you will achieve in the final product. The natural graininess, the soft focus, the timeless colors, the light leaks, and every imperfection just adds to the beauty & aesthetic of your photographs on film.

My Style

Unless you know exactly what you want, I’m happy to help style your shoot. From looks to location scouting to creating a mood board - nothing makes me happier than working together to create a collection of images we can both be proud of.
