As fleeting moments pass by every single day, it's my honor to capture them with a thoughtful and creative eye. It’s not just my goal to document these moments beautifully, but to preserve memories as tangible heirlooms so that they can be enjoyed and shared for generations to come.
My photos are often described as romantic, elegant, soft, and timeless. As a hybrid photographer, I utilize both traditional film and digital photography to capture love stories. I crave the flexibility I achieve using both mediums. I'm able to produce a timeless, romantic photograph on film while maintaining the speed and reliability of a digital backup system.

The heart behind
what I do
I enjoy working with couples who are deeply in love and value the experience of their wedding day with their closest family and friends. My shooting style is classic and timeless with a bit of editorial flair. I use my surroundings and the given natural light to create emotive images unique to the energy of each relationship. It's important to me that we get to know each other so I can get on that level with you.
Choosing a wedding photographer is a big decision because those photos are going to be the only reminder of what your day was like. It's not just about documenting, but truly capturing the feeling of the day. Every time you look at your images I want you to remember how it felt to be there. Let me tell your story in a way that allows you to relive those moments over and over again.
I split my time between Washington, D.C. and Jackson, MS.
I am a former registered nurse.
Although I capture weddings all across the United States, my homes remain based in these two cities. Together with my team, we service both markets seamlessly.
I graduated from nursing school with my BSN and still carry an active license. I've worked across all specialities including acute care, the operating room, respiratory & cardiac care, orthopedics, and trauma.
