Before picking up the camera full time to capture authentic love stories, I was a middle school Spanish teacher. My affection for education and connection seeps into my day-to-day as a photographer; I love being able to guide couples through the journey to “I do,” from how to pose behind the camera to how to make a wedding day as seamless as can be.

When I’m not getting my couples laughing in front of the lens or creating their cherish-worthy custom albums, you can find me exploring the outdoors with my husband and baby boy, serving at church, or spending time with loved ones.
