I have the skills of a lead shooter and the heart of an assistant

In 2025, I shot over 50 weddings as a lead associate and second shooter! I pride myself on being the kind of teammate who shows up prepared, communicates well, and makes the day easier for everyone.

A few things you can expect from me:

i'm here to treat your clients like my own

- I'm always on time or early

- I'm great at helping organize family formals

- I'll always respect your standard of dress for weddings. Professionalism is my top priority.

- I love sneaking a few Behind the Scenes shots of you in action if I can!

- I shoot all the angles! Variety is my specialty

- Shooting is basically my "Mom's Day Out" - I'm always happy to be doing what I love!

I’ve spent the past 14+ years photographing weddings, beginning in California and later working in Hawaii, Texas, and now the Jacksonville area. As life has shifted with three young kids, I’ve slowed down on booking my own clients and focused more on associate and second shooting — something I truly enjoy. As a military family, we’ll be relocating to Jacksonville Florida later this year. Starting November 2026 I'll be available to work with great photographers who need an experienced, reliable team member to represent their brand!

we have a 6 year old and 3 year old twins!! My threshold for chaos is high
