HOW IT STARTED
What I love most about what I do is helping people create memories they’ll want to look back on. From moments big and small, you will be provided with an experience that is natural and deeply personal, resulting in portraits that are authentic to you.
Ones that you will find one day, in your own old photo bin, and cherish for years to come.
One of my most vivid childhood memories includes digging through my Mother's old photo bin. I'd spend hours upon hours looking through the hundreds of old photos, and I quickly found myself spending extra time spent on the photos that were taken during unplanned moments.
The ones depicting a friend receiving an unexpected gift or good news, to someone bursting out into genuine laughter (especially if it's in a group setting!), or someone fixing their sunglasses when walking from a long day at the beach.
I believe that some of the best photos come when people aren’t thinking about the camera—just living in the moment. Every since, I'd been compelled to bring this idea to life, to share it with all of you!

Why Approach Matters
Choosing a photographer you love is about more than just admiring their work—it's about creating a real connection. Your photographer will capture some of your most intimate, emotional, and joyful moments. Having someone who truly connects with you, will understand your story, your style, and what makes your relationship unique. When you choose someone you genuinely like, it’s not just a transaction; it’s the beginning of a relationship that only brings out the best in your photos.
Making you feel comfortable is at the heart of everything I do. I know that stepping in front of a camera can feel a little vulnerable, but my focus is on creating a relaxed and natural environment where you can just be yourselves. We’ll laugh, chat, and keep things easy, so you’ll forget there’s even a camera involved. When you feel at ease, the moments we will capture are authentic and truly reflect your connection. My goal is to make sure you leave not just with beautiful photos, but with memories of a fun, meaningful experience you’ll always cherish.
Let's loosen the collar a bit
When I'm not working as a Registered Nurse or chasing golden hour, you can find me in the kitchen!
My New Years resolution for 2024 was to cook as much as we could from scratch. This was quite a learning curve to start, especially when you are accustomed to the convenience of modern day society. After about 1 year, my husband and I are proud to say that we make about 80% of all meals/snacks from scratch, with the other 20% is for those sweet treats that can not be beaten, because balance, right?
Not only has this been cost effective and soooo much healthier, it is now one of our favorite hobbies that we share together.
If we aren't in the kitchen, you can find us hiking, camping or on the hunt for the best mojito!

I was born in Bar Harbor, ME!
