I had always enjoyed photography but only thought of it as a hobby. After a year of pursuing a career in physical therapy, I realized that maybe that wasn't the plan God had for me. On a beach trip in the summer of 2012, it became clear that I was a creative at heart and started my journey to become a photographer. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do what I truly love doing!
My love story began in high school when I met my husband, Jared. He is my absolute best friend in this entire world and I couldn't image doing life without him! Being able to photograph love stories for a living is the most incredible gift. I love sharing the excitement of being engaged with my brides. I love being able to give my couples memories that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. And I love that I get to make new friends through the entire process!

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
There's nothing I love more than spending time with my sweet family. I've been with my husband for 9 years and we've had our sweet pup for 2 years. We just welcomed our sweet boy, Leighton, in August and it's been our truest joy to be parents!

I loooooove an iced caramel macchiato from Starbs. I'm that basic.

I have a problem. Can you relate?!

I'm a pretty decent cook and love trying new recipes! I think it's because I grew up as the PICKIEST eater. Also recently found the best cookie recipe!

ESPECIALLY during the fall/winter. I just love the smell of fall and Christmas decorations. Endless Target and Hobby Lobby trips!
