I'm not the photographer for everyone.


Your photos should feel like you. The way you love, laugh, and hold each other close. This isn’t about posing or forcing smiles. It’s about capturing your real connection and the moments that matter most.

These photos will become more than images. They’ll be memories you can return to again and again. The kind that take you right back to this moment, even decades from now. Honest, heartfelt storytelling that becomes part of your family’s legacy.

From birth plans to elopement timelines.


Before I photographed elopements, I was a birth photographer.

I spent hours documenting some of the most raw, emotional, life-changing moments a family will ever experience. Birth photography taught me how to move quietly, read a room, anticipate moments before they happen, and hold space without taking over.

And honestly? Those skills translate seamlessly into elopements.

Elopements are intimate. Unscripted. Emotional. There’s no big production. Just the two of you stepping into a new beginning. My background means I stay calm in high-emotion moments, guide gently when needed, and capture connection as it naturally unfolds.

Birth taught me how to document beginnings.

Elopements are simply another beautiful kind of beginning.
