favorite drink

First-- I'm SO stoked you're here. It means that you're interested in celebrating something, and let me tell you, I am HERE for that. I want to be your hype woman, an encourager, & an avenue of celebrating you through the art of timeless photography.

I'm a full-time photographer based in Ohio. Dayton is my home-base, and I shoot a lot in Columbus & Cincy, too! I am sooo down to travel and have a heart for exploring. Eloping in the mountains? I'll be there. I graduated from OSU in 2018 with my nursing degree-- I worked as a nurse for the past several years while photographing weddings on the side, and recently made the jump to pursue full-time photo. I am SO pumped about it-- to be able to celebrate life with people is my favorite thing. 

In my free time, you can find me drinking coffee (totally a comfort thing for me), reading, spending time with friends over a happy hour or coffee date, or likely cuddling up with my dog. My relationship with Jesus is what fuels my awe for photography, and I absolutely love celebrating how God has written your story. I'm married to my very best friend, Nate! We got married in May 2020 (yesss, a true COVID-19 wedding!), and had our reception in the  summer of 2021 :). He's my favorite person to live life with, and is definitely a reason why I get so dang excited for other people entering into marriage!

my favorite human of all time

Nate & I have been married for four years this May! We were married in the heat of COVID in May 2020. We had our wedding ceremony in 2020 and our reception at Four Seasons Barn in 2021 :)

my favorite pup of all time 

We welcomed our pup, Louie, into our family in April of 2023! He is quite the ball of energy & definitely has given us our beginning of gray hairs, but we love him all the more.

my love of celebrating

Your story is SO worth celebrating. I am here to celebrate with you-- and that is my most favorite part of photography. photography is an avenue of celebrating i've grown to love so deeply. regardless of what we're celebrating, I get to capture a moment in time for you to celebrate & reminisce on for years to come. THAT is why I do this. the beauty of human life ought to be celebrated & cherished, & I'm beyond stoked & thankful that I get to do that through photos. 

Running this business truly is a dream come true. Everytime someone is inclined to inquire about photos-- whether that be for a wedding, a family session, maternity, seniors, or simply because you want updated photos-- I cheese like a lil' kid overjoyed that I get to be part of documenting those moments for you. Thank you in advance for trusting me to enter this season with you. It is my hope & prayer that you leave this experience with so much joy and appreciation for where you are at right now in your life, and that you felt supported, encouraged and celebrated through these photos. 


time to plan!
