Senior Photographer | Hype Girl | Memory Maker

I’ve always had a camera in my hand and a love for capturing moments—but it wasn’t until the world hit pause during COVID that I realized just how much photography lit me up. That quiet time gave me space to chase what I truly love, and that passion turned into something bigger: a way to connect, create, and freeze time in the most meaningful seasons of life.

Senior photography quickly became my favorite place to land. There’s something so special about this chapter—it's full of growth, big decisions, and fresh beginnings. I don’t just want to take pretty pictures (though you’ll definitely get those)—I want to capture the real you. The version that laughs mid-pose, beams with confidence, and maybe twirls once or twice because you're actually having fun.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me curled up with a good book, creating something artsy, or soaking up time with my family. I’m easygoing, creative, and a built-in cheerleader the moment you step in front of my camera. My goal? For you to walk away saying, “That was actually so fun,” and later, “Wow… she really got me.”

This isn’t just a session—it’s a celebration of who you are right now. And I’m honored to help you remember it forever.

Letting You Be You!

Making You Feel Comfortable in Front of the Camera

I'm your home girl! When I'm not behind the camera, you can catch me helping clients with their dream home purchase.

Bringing the Hype Energy!

What I’m known for:

Be yourself—loudly, proudly, and unapologetically.

My Mission

My goal is simple: I want you to feel confident, beautiful, and have the best time ever.
Every session is about more than just taking photos—it’s about connecting, sharing stories, and creating a space where you can be totally yourself. The more fun we have, the better the experience (and the photos!) will be. So let’s crank up the music, throw a little glitter in the air, maybe even start a mini dance party—and just have fun with it!

FOR EVERY SINGLE CLIENT WHETHER YOU ARE A HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR OR BOSS BABE.....
