Photography has always been part of my life, but my passion for it truly began when I started traveling at 14. I would collect postcards from each new place and try to capture that same sense of wonder and story in my own images. Eventually, I started scrapbooking those moments—and what began as a hobby slowly grew into something more.
I studied art and design, exploring all kinds of creative paths, but photography always pulled me back in. As an introverted extrovert, I never pictured myself photographing weddings... until I documented a close family friend’s second wedding. That day changed everything. I fell in love with the raw emotion, the beautiful chaos, and those perfectly imperfect moments that make a wedding feel like real life. I knew I had found my place.
In 2022, I experienced a loss that shifted my entire perspective. When my family dog passed, I was working full time, running my business, and living nearly 500km away from home. I wasn’t there in his final days—and the only thing I had left were the memories and the photos. That heartbreak opened my eyes to how precious our time is, and how deeply meaningful it is to have these moments documented. So I left my job, pursued photography full time, and never looked back.
Now, I help couples hold onto their most cherished moments—through images that feel honest, warm, and full of soul. I believe in slowing down, finding the magic in quiet moments, and letting your day unfold naturally

Having previously worked at a hair & nail salon, I have an interest in the beauty industry. Not that I'm any good, I like to experiment when my sisters & I get together!

Cozy games are my bread & butter. You can find me playing Animal Crossing, The Sims (2 is arguably the best one), Dreamlight Valley - and the occasional thrillers (Silent Hill? Got it. Dark Pictures Anthology? Beat it!).

90's and early 2000's tv shows & movies! I'm a sucker for rom-com drama's and can re-watch The O.C. and One Tree Hill until I die! I also thoroughly enjoy baking competition & crime shows like Criminal Minds. OH, and I can't forget one of the greats - Seinfeld!

I love to bake! Although I don't always get the time for it, once I start, I have a hard time stopping. I'll bake brownies, cookies, cinnamon rolls and cupcakes all in one go - just because I have the tools out!

First and foremost, my husband Gus! He's been a huge supporter of me & my journey.
