Ever since I can remember I always loved being behind the camera. Whether if it was stealing the camera from my parents to take 'photoshoots' of my friends and I or taking charge of producing all of our home family videos at the age of 8. My mom took pictures of EVERYTHING when I was younger so I guess I took after her. At the time I thought that it was annoying how she always wanted to take pictures of my sister and me and now look at me. I take photos for a living. 

how this whole thing started

My background

Hello, I am so happy you are here! Thank you for considering me to be your photographer. I am a senior, lifestyle, family, & wedding photographer who is constantly inspired by new people and places around the world. I am from Omaha, Nebraska and just recently moved to Scottsdale, Arizona. This past year I graduated college from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln with a bachelors in advertising and public relations. Most people tell me that they think I am about 28 years old but I am actually 22 years old. Yes, I have been doing this whole photography thing since a young age, professionally for over four years now. My friends would describe me as spontaneous and outgoing.  I am always down for whatever. Whether that may be to purchase a last minute plane ticket or just going out on the town, I am there. Throughout your experience with me, my goal is to make you feel as comfortable and confident as possible. Just like you are taking photos with a good friend! 

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.
