Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I've been carrying around a camera (or two) since I was little. My love for capturing moments has always been a part of me. I wish I could pinpoint exactly when I discovered this amazing thing I get to do for my livelihood, but I honestly cannot remember a time when I didn't have a camera present. I graduated from Point Park University, where I learned how to turn my passion into a business and mastered film photography, developing it by hand in our little "Art University" darkroom.
A core part of my life is traveling wherever and whenever I can, so of course, I had to move out of my hometown! I am currently based in Austin, Texas, and feel like my art really thrives here. I am happy to be in Texas and happy to travel out of Texas!
In my free time, I love hanging out with my cats, trying new coffee shops, going on weekend road trips, riding my bike to the coffee shop, and, of course, trying new hobbies and activities.
I WANT TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR DAY, JUST AS IT IS.
If you're looking for someone you can trust and enjoy being with on your session or wedding day, I'm your person. Photography is deeply personal, and it's essential that we connect and build trust before your special day. Let's capture your day just as it is, filled with genuine moments and real connections.
If you love my photos and can expect yours to be just as beautiful and consistent with what you've seen or if you value looking back on old photos, whether it's flipping through family albums or scrolling to the first picture on your camera roll. If you like to prepare but do it so well that you consider yourself relaxed or you appreciate what is real over what is "perfect." If you don't want to be stiffly posed but prefer to be directed in a way that's unique to you. If you feel like we'll vibe and you can trust me, and if you want someone who truly cares about you and your relationship—not just your wedding or session day—then we're a perfect fit.
