I've been drawn to photography since I was 12, when my first "models" were my dog Rocky, my cousins, and classmates. What started as a childhood hobby quickly became something more—leading me through yearbook pages, senior portraits, college photo clubs, and family sessions. Over time, that journey naturally led me to where my heart is now: documenting love stories through couples and wedding photography.
Today, I’m based in Dallas, where I live with my partner Jacob, who you will see next to me on wedding days, our three snuggly cats, and a dog who basically runs the household like a very loud toddler.
MY PHILOSOPHY
From the moment you lock eyes down the aisle, to the tenderness during your first dance, I'll be there to capture every moment. I believe that love is in the details - every sweet glance, every gentle touch, and every loving embrace.
What truly inspires me is capturing the intimate, unguarded blips that happen between the two of you. The moments when you steal a glance, a kiss, or a smile. These are the moments that make your love story unique, and I’m honored to be there to capture them.
MY STYLE
My style centers around capturing moments as they happen instead of centering the moments around being captured.
I do movement based prompts and work off the overall vibe, if you want to do a full shoot with multiple locations, let's do it! If you want to take a few posed photos and get back to your party, I'm game! If you only want the documentary style with no posing, I'll follow you around all night!
In short, it's your day, and I treat it as such.
My approach is a simple one -
let the day unfold as I capture your love.
