About

It’s given me deeper insight into love in its many forms as it surrounds you on your wedding day. You’re a partner, a beloved child, a treasured sibling, a ride-or-die friend, and it’s my imperative to document every aspect of who you are.

Motherhood has shifted how I see things.

So it may not come as a surprise that my degrees are in neuroscience and social work, each giving me a unique angle on who we are and how we appear. Photography is a logical evolution of that, a form of documenting who you are, how you love, how you express yourself.

I come from generations of hard workers who’ve often been counted out (like my entrepreneurial aunties, who were roofers in Northern Michigan) and that’s made me hungry—always striving to know more, do more, hone my craft.

I’m driven by a desire to see people as they truly are.

Need to confide in someone about tricky family dynamics, your complicated feelings about the wedding industry, or just the overall rollercoaster of emotions? I’ve got your back.

That’s why I work to make all my couples feel seen and validated, inclusive of their identity. 

Planning my wedding made me conscious of all the ways my partner and I didn’t fit a certain mold. From my working-class background to our interracial relationship, we weren’t the sort of cookie-cutter couple you see on Pinterest.

You can be yourself with me.

My guacamole. My calm presence. My sense of humor.

I get the most compliments on:

Impressionists such as Monet, who captured the indelible, the inexact, the ephemeral

My artistic influences:

The location (Hawaii) and the food (BBQ & poke)

What I’d never change about my own wedding:

India, Nepal, Japan, and the Philippines—countries with a vibrant culinary scene (always a yes from me) where I’ve never been but have room to nurture new connections

Where I’m yearning to travel:


Nuanced conversations, being challenged, and immersive experiences

I thrive on:
