Mom told me not to talk to strangers, but I want to get to know you, so I'll go first...

that's what she said

Besides the obvious, I'm a 5'9" travel-loving ecologist and Jesus follower. Upstate NY born and raised. Nature is where I find peace and rejuvenation. I have my masters in conservation biology specializing in restorative urban land management, but I choose to run this business full time. I developed a love for photography during my teenage years and cultivated that love into a success story I never imagined possible. Spring forward to today, you're reading this paragraph and you're considering me as your wedding photographer - pretty insane, right?

A combined education in STEM and the humanities means that I have a heart for helping events run smoothly and efficiently while simultaneously caring for the people in the process. Your wedding day is a sacred time and I recognize the influence my presence can have. That is why I am an active practitioner of finding the delicate balance between leader and fly-on-the-wall. Whatever your day ends up looking like, I find fulfillment in navigating each hour by your side and helping make it the success you deserve it to be.
