Nº WEDDINGS?

Personally over 400! That's a lot of notches on my camera strap. We've documented and produced over 1500 weddings at the studio.

I'm allergic to:

Fake anything (think sushi grass), excuses, fluff (ski snow excluded), inefficiency, soy (seriously), and I DON'T HIGH FIVE IN YOGA (even before COVID).

YOU CAN FIND ME:

When I'm not working with my amazing clients, I Mom pretty hard. Check the ski lifts, beach chair or National Parks if I'm OOF playing with my fam: Tod, Emmet & Zoe.

cool stufF:

Co-piloted a plane in the Amazon, climbed Cotopaxi, turned an art degree into a thriving biz, one of my checklists was published in a book, and sang ON STAGE with KT Tunstall, Sheryl Crow & Brandi Carlile (Wait, WHAT?)

photo style:

Timeless. Authentic. Natural. 100% full of emotions. If you like table shots, I'm not your gal. I capture what's *really* happening at the table...and then some.
