"I first fell in love with photography back in high school, when I realized I could combine my favorite hobby with something that has always mattered deeply to me - building people up. There’s nothing better than watching someone light up when they feel confident, seen, and fully themselves. Photography became the perfect way for me to do just that, and I’ve been hooked ever since."

I am an Indy native, now living the small-town dream in Lapel with my husband, our sweet baby boy, and our two pups Ivy and Maple.

I’ve spent the last seven years in the wedding world—and I’ve loved every minute of it. What started as a creative side hustle quickly turned into a full-time business built on heart, connection, and storytelling.

Over the years, I’ve photographed well over 100 weddings and danced my way through more receptions than I can count. But whether it’s a wedding day or a slow, sweet morning at home with your family, what matters most to me is that you feel fully present and completely you. That’s my biggest goal every time I show up with my camera in hand.

I can’t wait to meet you and tell your story next.

What to Expect

First and foremost — yes, you’ll get a beautiful gallery of photos. That’s a given.

But hiring a photographer is about so much more than the final images. It’s about how you feel throughout the process — seen, supported, and genuinely cared for. From our first conversation to the moment you open your gallery (and beyond), I’m here to make this experience easy, meaningful, and uniquely you.

I don’t want to be just another box to check—I want to be an intentional part of your story. When you book with me, you’re getting more than someone who shows up with a camera. You’re getting someone who’s all in—cheering you on, celebrating your people, and fully invested in making this experience feel just as special as the moments we’re capturing. I’ll be just as excited as you are. Promise.

From booking to planning to the big day, I’m here to support you from day one—so you can feel relaxed, confident, and fully present. And along the way? I’ll be the one making sure you feel comfortable, celebrated, and like your best self—because you deserve to enjoy every second of this.

FAQ

How many weddings do you take on per year?

Intentionality is at the core of my work, which is why I only take on 10–15 weddings each year. This pace lets me give each couple the time, care, and creative energy they deserve—so your experience feels personal, never rushed.

What is your typical turnaround time for photo galleries?

Good things take time—but I get it, waiting is the worst. I always send a generous batch of previews to hold you over while I work on the full gallery. Engagement and lifestyle sessions are delivered within 3–4 weeks, and weddings are delivered within 8–12 weeks.

What are your favorite types of weddings to photograph?

The couples I work best with are the ones who care deeply about the experience—not just the photos. They’re planning a day that feels like them: intentional, personal, and filled with meaning. Whether it’s an intimate backyard celebration, a downtown soirée, or something totally outside the box, they want to be present with the people they love and trust me to capture it all with heart and honesty. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s more about the feeling than the fuss, we’ll probably be a perfect fit.

Can you help with posing? We are super awkward!

Believe it or not, most of my clients have never had professional photos taken—and they all say the same thing: “We’re so awkward in front of the camera!” But can you tell when you look through their galleries? Not one bit. Helping you feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself is part of my job. I’ll guide you with natural, easy prompts that work for you—so you can relax, have fun, and actually enjoy the process. I promise, I’ve got you.

Do you include an engagement session with all of your wedding packages?

Most of the couples I work with have never had professional photos taken—and that’s totally normal. What’s not normal? Knowing exactly what to do in front of a camera or what to expect during a shoot. That’s why your engagement session is so important. Yes, you’ll walk away with beautiful photos—but more than that, it’s a chance for us to get comfortable, figure out how you connect on camera, and build trust before the wedding day rolls around.

How do we book with you?

Planning a wedding is already a full-time job (on top of, you know, everything else), so I’ve made my booking process as simple and stress-free as possible. Once you inquire through the Connect page and we’ve decided we’re a great fit, just let me know which package feels right. I’ll send over a proposal that’s active for 48 hours—plenty of time to look it over—then you’ll just sign the contract and pay your non-refundable retainer. That’s it. You’re booked!

How do we pay you? Do you offer payment plans?

I accept debit cards, credit cards, and checks—all processed through your client portal, which also houses your proposal, contract, and planning questionnaires. Payments are split into three parts: a non-refundable retainer due at booking, a second payment due six months before your date, and a final payment due one month before your shoot. It’s all designed to keep things simple and stress-free.

How far in advance should we book you?

For weddings, I typically book 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular spring and fall dates. For lifestyle sessions, 1–2 months’ notice is perfect. Reach out as soon as you’re ready—I’d love to connect!

Do you include a second photographer?

A second photographer is included in my 9- and 10-hour wedding collections. For smaller weddings or tighter timelines, you can absolutely add one onto the 8-hour package if you’d like extra coverage.

What should we wear for our session?

After booking, I’ll send over a detailed outfit guide and/or mood board to help with planning! I’m always happy to weigh in on outfits if you’re stuck—I want you to feel like the best version of yourself!

When are you available for engagement and lifestyle sessions?

All engagement and lifestyle sessions are scheduled on weekdays only—Tuesday through Thursday. In-home sessions take place in the morning, and outdoor sessions are scheduled for either early morning or golden hour, depending on the light and your preferences. If you’re unsure what timing or location is best for your session, I’ll walk you through it all and help you plan something that feels relaxed, personal, and true to you.
