hey there!

Photographer, creative collaborator, and someone who’s never quite gotten over how good Colorado light feels at golden hour. I live up in Leadville with my husband and baby, and I’m all about capturing stories that reflect the beauty of real life — a little imperfect, always meaningful.

 
 
 

01. my approach

I know how uncomfortable it can feel to be in front of a camera. That’s why I keep things relaxed and natural. I’ll direct when needed, but mostly I create space for you to feel like yourself. I’m not here to over-pose or over-edit. I want your photos to reflect what really happened, not just what looked good for Instagram.

I take time to get to know what matters to you so every session feels personal, not just another shoot on the calendar.

02. a bit about me

I’m originally from Michigan but made my way west for the mountains (and stayed for the community). Before photography, I worked in marketing and brand strategy, so when I work with small businesses I bring more than just a camera. I bring an eye for storytelling, curation, and helping your brand come to life visually.

When I’m not taking photos, you can usually find me:

  • Wandering the aisles of a local thrift store

  • Lighting one of my own handmade candles

  • Making lists just to cross things off

  • Taking walks with my family and our 4 dogs (yes, four!)

03. what it’s like to work with me

My goal is to make this feel easy. I’ll guide you through the process so you’re never wondering what’s next. I’ll cheer you on behind the camera, adjust hair or collars if needed, and keep the vibe light even if your toddler isn’t having it or your business launch is down to the wire.

Whether you’re building a brand or capturing a season of life, I want your photos to feel like you — warm, real, and rooted in something that matters.
