When I was 14 years old, I looked through the lens of a 35mm film camera and my life changed forever. Now here I am – 20 years later – capturing love stories that my couples cherish for their whole lives.

Wedding Photographer since 2008 | Mom of 2 | 5k Runner | karaoke queen
According to my Myers-Briggs, I’m an ENFP — a people-centered creator with contagious enthusiasm for ideas, connection, and creativity. That’s spot-on. I truly love helping others feel seen, celebrated, and confident in front of the camera.
What makes me a great wedding photographer (and human) is simple: I care. Deeply. I’m energized by real connection, and I thrive when I can help couples feel relaxed, joyful, and completely themselves.
My path here has been anything but traditional, serving in the U.S. Navy to building a full-time career in photography while raising two little ones. Every step along the way has shaped my perspective and deepened my gratitude for this life and the people I get to serve.
So, why do I do this? Because the moment you see your wedding photos for the first time (and feel those happy tears rise up), that moment is everything. It’s why I show up with heart, hustle, and my whole creative spirit every single time.
As seen on:

- Extraverted 68%
- Intuative 67%
- Feeling 55%
- Perciving 59%
As an ENFP, my vibrant creativity and empathetic nature infuse every photograph I take. It also makes it easy for me to anticipate and capture genuine moments with spontaneity and warmth.
Getting Personal
this crazy life of mine
I currently reside in sunny South Florida with my hubby, Michael, our sweet son, Little Mikey, Baby girl Emerie, and our rescue fur babies, Eli and Delilah.
Michael and I met in the Navy (that’s right – we’re vets!), and we’ve inseparable since the day we met way back in 2012. It’s actually a pretty cheesy story. I was his supervisor back then and now we continue to spend life together in this career and as partners. It’s truly a dream come true!
You may or may not see Michael tagging along with me during our weddings and engagement photo sessions! On top of being our in-house videographer, he loves to be an extra hand and help be my wedding day co-captain.

Facts
1. Film-loving photographer
I’m a little obsessed with vintage film cameras, and by little, I mean a lot. I have quite the collection, and I love bringing them out for weddings to capture a few nostalgic frames just for fun.
4. biracial roots
My mom is white, my dad is Black, and I’m a beautiful mix of both. I’ve learned to embrace every part of my identity and carry that same inclusive, thoughtful perspective into my work.
2. Strong (Mom) Energy
As a mom of two little ones and a full-time photographer, I run on love, coffee, and core strength. I’m an avid 5K runner and love weight training… it’s how I keep up with toddlers and 12-hour wedding days.
5.karaoke queen
Give me a mic and I’m in. I used to dream of being a famous singer as a kid. These days, I channel that energy into hyping up my couples and keep the singing for the afterparty.
3. Navy Veteran
Before building this business, I served in the U.S. Navy as a Fire Controlman Second Class (FC2). That experience taught me resilience, leadership and how to stay calm under pressure (a true wedding day superpower).
6. I’m an Empath, Always
I feel everything. Being an empath means I pick up on energy quickly, whether it’s wedding day nerves, overwhelming joy, or those in-between quiet moments. It helps me show up in the way you need most.
