a glimpse into
my world:
01
storytelling
I’ve always been drawn to stories, whether in a book, a captivating film, or the quiet moments unfolding on a wedding day. It's the emotion between the lines that inspires how I photograph.
02
creative outlet
When I’m not documenting love stories, you’ll often find me capturing beauty campaigns. Commercial work lets me explore lighting, texture, and detail through a different lens.
03
cat lover
My cat, Octavia, has a habit of curling up beside me while I work. She’s the quiet presence behind more wedding days than I can count.
04
timeless moments
In 2023, I married my favorite person in a beautiful greenhouse in Michigan. Experiencing it from the other side gave me an even deeper appreciation for the emotion and meaning behind the images I create.
my story
I graduated from Michigan State University, before moving out to Los Angeles to work in film production. While I was there, I worked on a number of different high-production sets for brands such as Disney+, Netflix, and HBO, learning lighting techniques and directorial skills. I had the honor of writing a commercial that aired during the Oscars for FX on Hulu's Mrs. America.
While I began photographing portraits in college, I expanded my portfolio by working with professional models in LA, shooting both fashion and beauty work.
After moving back to Michigan, I began shifting my focus to photographing weddings, where I fell in love with connecting with clients, and capturing the love and joy of such a beautiful occasion.
