I'M SOLD!

I’M ROOTED IN ANCESTRY AND LINEAGE, DRAWN TO SMALL JOYS, AND ENDLESSLY CURIOUS ABOUT NEW PLACES. I LOVE COFFEE SHOP STOPS, exploring small towns, belly laughing until im wheezing, DINNERS WITH MY CLOSEST FRIENDS, AND QUIET NIGHTS IN WITH MY ANIMALS. SLOWING DOWN ISN’T ALWAYS REALISTIC FOR ME, BUT IT’S SOMETHING I INTENTIONALLY MAKE SPACE FOR IN MY WORK, ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE USE OF FILM.  I believe my ability to connect with people is my super power. and through my personal navigations with mental health, womanhood, faith and spirituality I found a fondness of celebrating everything that makes us human. I believe IN THE QUIET POWER OF CONNECTION, THROUGH PEOPLE, ART, AND SHARED MOMENTS, TO HEAL AND CREATE UNDERSTANDING.

HI I'm

capturing couples in love  since 2017.

living for my purpose since 1992

ICED LATTES | Diet Coke with a lime | being a sagittarius | | CROWD effervescence | THE CHICAGO BEARS | MAKING THE MIDWEST MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY | THE PERCULATOR | SLOW MORNINGS |  A STRONG THUNDERSTORM |  SOUP | RUNNING AWAY TO THE MOUNTAINS | living like im back in the 90's

These are a few of my favorite things

I clock body language and headspace before I ever press the shutter. If things start to feel stiff or rushed, we pause. If the energy feels good, I don’t mess with it.

You don’t need to perform, pose, or “do it right.” I’ll guide you just enough to keep things flowing, then get out of the way so the real moments can happen.

comfort first
ALWAYS!
I’m watching everything. In a loving way.
