I love it when my wedding couples turn into forever family clients. Being their photographer for life is the biggest honor! This was my fourth time photographing the Santos family, and I loved getting to meet the newest addition: baby Mia! Of course since Baby Mia is still but a baby, her older sister Callie […]

Jen and Sul are the kind of people who make this job feel like a dream. When we first met and started talking about me photographing their wedding in 2021, I knew this wasn’t going to be a transactional relationship. They were looking for someone they could grow with—someone who would be there not just […]

Ashley and DJ were married in 2024 and I had the honor of being their wedding photographer, and I am thrilled that they’ve asked me to be their photographer for life. It’s so wonderful to be able to capture important moments for my favorite clients turned friends year after year. I can’t wait to see […]

This is such a fun one for me. My husband actually photographed Hannah and Ryan’s wedding and when they were looking for a birth photographer, they came across my site and were thrilled to find out that I do this type of work! We did their maternity shoot this winter so we could get to […]

I photographed Shannon and Zach’s wedding TWICE. Yes, they were a covid couple 🙂 And I was so honored and thrilled to be invited back into their lives to welcome their new sweet angel, Baby Henry! He was so chill and calm, he made it easy on us! Here are just some of my favorites.

I’ve been very behind on blogging my documentary family work (years behind, oops) lately… but not for a lack of interest! Documentary family photography remains the place my heart is happiest. Tonight’s session with the H family was the epitome of everything I love about photographing families – loving, fun, and most importantly: embracing the […]

Of all the moments I get to witness and capture, there’s nothing more magical than watching a new life come into the world. Being there for baby Theodora’s birth was such an incredible experience. Hannah is an absolute badass, and Teddy is so lucky to have both her and Meredith as her mommies. And speaking […]

Of all of the things I photograph, Day in the Life family sessions are what make my heart the most happy. I love weddings, and I love all of the elements that make them special: bringing everyone in your life together for a big celebration, the love at the center of it, the ritual, the […]

I’ve known Kelly for almost half of her life. She’s my best friend’s sister, and I’ve known her for the last 15 years, which is insane to think about! We’ve been a part of each other’s lives for so long, it feels like we are family. Also, I had the honor of photographing her wedding […]
