what photography means to me.
this is my why
Ever since I can remember, I’ve had a love for being behind the camera. Whether I was sneaking my parents' camera to take 'photoshoots' of my friends and me or taking the reins on producing all our family home videos at the age of 8, it was clear early on that I was destined for this. My mom was always the one snapping photos of everything when I was growing up—so much so that I used to think it was annoying how often she wanted to capture moments of my sister and me. Little did I know, I’d grow up to be the one who can’t put the camera down. Now, here I am, turning my passion for photography into a career, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
how this whole thing started
My background
Hello, and thank you so much for considering me to be your photographer! I specialize in senior, lifestyle, family, and wedding photography, and I’m constantly inspired by meeting new people and exploring beautiful places around the world.
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, I now call Scottsdale, Arizona, my home base. I’ve lived here for two years, and I absolutely love it! I’m 24 years old and have been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember, working professionally for the past six years.
My friends would describe me as spontaneous, outgoing, and always up for an adventure. Whether it’s booking a last-minute plane ticket, hiking a new trail, enjoying a fun dinner out, or spending time with friends and family, I’m there.
When you work with me, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, confident, and totally at ease—just like you’re taking photos with a good friend. I can’t wait to help capture your story in a way that’s as unique and special as you are!
Your future hype woman & bestie

WHY PHOTOS SHOULD MATTER TO YOU TOO. BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER HAS ALLOWED ME TO SEE THE WORLD IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. IT'S FINDING THE BEAUTY IN THE SMALL EVERY DAY THINGS. AS A PHOTOGRAPHER I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BE APART OF THE MOST SPECIAL MOMENTS IN SOME PEOPLES LIVES.
Why photos should matter to you too.
When I am not taking pictures at sunset, I am watching the sunset. I believe that golden hour is truly the best part of the day. I just recently moved to Arizona so lately I have been alllll about exploring new places. Whether that be coffee shops, new hikes, or fun restaurants, I am all about trying new things. I enjoy binging a good new Netflix show and laughing with my friends. Other than that, I love love LOVE to travel. I think that I spend the majority of my money on airfare. Traveling is so important to me because it makes you get out of your comfort zone. You are seeing new places and meeting new people. My favorite memories in life are when I have been traveling.
Golden hour and plane rides.
