Like many photographers, my journey began with a simple love for capturing moment, first with a little pink, battery-powered camera, and later with my first DSLR: - an Olympus. What started as a hobby quickly became something more meaningful, especially after a bit of wisdom from my mom. She encouraged me to start placing people into my scenic shots—and that one piece of advice changed everything.
My first portrait session was with someone very special to me: my husband, Drew. His senior photos were the first time I photographed a person, and to this day, he's still one of my favorite models (second only to my sister!).
From there, things started to grow—one session at a time. Along the way, I upgraded my gear from a Canon Rebel to the 7D Mark series, and now I shoot with my dream setup: the Canon 5D Mark series to get the nostalgia feel.
What began as a simple creative outlet has grown into a full-blown passion and business. I feel incredibly grateful to do what I love: capturing people and their stories, details, and the emotions..
a little bit more about
After high school, I attended Ripon College, where I discovered a passion for marketing and public relations through my work with the Marketing and Communications Department. I was extremely involved in my sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, with their marketing, as part of the board and position of Marketing.
During college, I expanded my photography experience by diving into event photography, which eventually led to capturing my very first wedding. That moment marked a huge step in my journey.
Since then, I’ve continued to grow with every session—each one teaching me something new and helping me refine my style. One day, my dream is to own my own art studio and creative business. But for now, I’m exactly where I’m meant to be—sharing my love of art as a teacher while continuing to pursue photography and my other art passions with heart and purpose.
