Photography
Documenting all of life’s important moments.
As a photographer, I’m here to document the moments that matter most—whether it’s the joy of your wedding day, the beauty of motherhood, or the milestones and connections within your family. Serving the Chelan, Wenatchee, Leavenworth, and Methow Valley areas, I focus on capturing real, heartfelt moments as they naturally unfold, creating images that are true to your story. Let’s work together to turn your special moments into lasting memories that you'll treasure forever.
“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” ”
Meet your photographer
Photography has always been a part of my story, woven into my life from an early age. In high school, I’d persuade friends to let me create elaborate photo shoots, using lamps from around the house to light the scene just right. I’d spend hours editing each image and was convinced I’d become the next Annie Leibovitz.
This passion led me to study art in college, where I refined my skills and learned the more technical side of photography. In 2013 I had the privilege of second shooting a wedding and fell in love with weddings and eventually started to take on my own wedding clients in 2016. Since then I’ve documented hundreds of milestones in peoples lives, several dozen weddings and elopements, and countless moments of joy and love.
I take a documentarian approach to my work, allowing moments to unfold naturally while I quietly capture them. I care deeply about my clients, and through our time together, we often become close friends. My goal is for you to feel loved and at ease during our sessions, free from nerves or worry. I strive to make the experience as effortless and joyful as possible, so you can fully enjoy the moment, knowing that every detail is being thoughtfully preserved.

I shoot with two Sony a7III camera bodies and a variety of lenses, but my favorite by far is the 70-200mm. This lens lets me seamlessly transition between intimate close-ups and wider shots, allowing me to capture the moment without being intrusive or in anyone’s space.

Working with me is all about having fun and feeling comfortable. I bring a lot of energy, positivity, and yes—a few silly, sometimes inappropriate jokes to keep things light and relaxed. I’m all about making sure you feel at ease, which usually means there’s a lot of laughter involved. But I’m also incredibly dedicated. I show up on time, never complain, and always keep things moving in the right direction. If something needs to be done, I’m on it—whether it’s adjusting the shot or, like that one time, moving an entire couch and vacuuming underneath it so my bride wouldn’t have to walk on chip crumbs. I’m here to take care of you and make sure the whole process is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
