Describe myself in one sentence, you ask? While you’re reading this, I probably have a Dr. Pepper in one hand, a cat curled up in my lap, and Taylor Swift playing in the background while editing my latest session.

a common question I get asked is how i got started in photography, so here is my story!

i think a lot of photographers can say that they’ve always loved taking photos or being creative when they were younger and that was the same for myself. i was fortunante enough to attend a high school that offered photography where we got to dive into the world of film and the dark room. i would spend so much time after school developing film and photographs that i still have in my office to this day. it filled my cup to the brim.

as i entered college, i didn’t have one clue as to what i wanted to accomplish with my degree or post-grad. i transferred schools many times and finally found a school and major that i loved. i graduated from illinois state university with a bs in mass media in 2020, something i loved every aspect of, but finding a job in a pandemic was nothing short of hard. i picked up my camera and had taken a friend’s maternity photos and it kind of took off from there! ever since then, i’ve been eternally grateful for all of the people and opportunities that come my way that have helped me get to where i am now; a full time wedding and portrait photographer that is just living her dream every day.<3
