A bit about me…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AN ARTIST, AN EMPATH, AN ANALYST.


 

 

 

 

 

I’m a Taurus.

An Enneagram 4w5.

Professional brooder, lover of nostalgia & a terribly emo playlist. 


I have an endearingly inappropriate sense of humor, my mom says I cuss too much—but F*ck it, I’m grown—and I am ridiculously in love with the most incredible human being I’ve ever met. Like, stupid, gross, WTF, ‘how is this even real?’ hopelessly in love with this freakin man!!! Eew. Yes! Can’t wait to tell you all about it.


Music fills my entire soul.


I hate coffee.

Love an inced oat milk matcha, tho.

Kombucha girlie.

sandalwood is my scent.

long hikes and short camping trips..

Favourite songs from the 90’s on repeat forever.

one tree hill re-runs forever.

The cure.

my grandmothers legacy.

black culture.

Spicey Mac and cheese as a feul source.

My FUR-BABIES.


about my work:


My style is moody and romantic, with a flare for the dramatic, plus a whole lot of


GRUNGY EDITORIAL VIBES.



INTENTIONALITY IS EVERYTHING!


It’s all about finding the touch points between reality and exaggerated perspective. I am passionate about creating with my hands, my eyes, my mind, and my heart. So if you’re a person who feels deeply, loves abundantly, + values thoughtful curation of your real life, then, honey, I think we’ll be a perfect fit!

A BIT ABOUT YOu…



You’re someone who values true artistry—the slow, intentional pursuit of what connects the heart to the soul. You believe in flow, and embracing the unplanned moments of the day. You don’t sweat the small stuff. You aren’t hyper fixated on getting “perfect photos” because you know that


perfect isn’t real,


and you care more about being fully present in your experience—moving, ugly crying with no shame, hugging your people, looking your lover in the eye & truly taking them in amidst all that is going on around you.

You’ve read about what I do & how I do it, and it all aligns with who you are & what you need.

No compromises, no alterations, just


honest connection & trust in ME & the process.


You understand that this moment—this day only comes around once, so you’re committed to the experience, to the investment, and to what we create together organically.


Portrait & Wedding photography for people who want something with a little flavor, a hint of nostalgia… something that is soulful, emotive & real. 


Always.



 

 

 

Intimate, intentional & emotive

I MAY BE THE ONE FOR YOU IF…

…THE TIMELINE IS FLEXIBLE BUT THE DETAILS STILL MATTER:
THE WARDROBE, THE AESTHETIC, THE LOCATION, THE PLAYLIST, THE HEIRLOOMS, ALL THE LITTLE THINGS… IF THAT’S WHAT YOU’RE ABOUT, THEN I’M YOUR GIRL.

YOUR BESTIE-FOR-HIRE, A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO APPRECIATES ALL THE INTRICACIES OF HOW YOUR LOVE STORY UNFOLDS. PLUS, I LOVE A GOOD PARTY AND THERE’S A 102% CHANCE I WILL END UP CUTTING UP WITH YOU AT YOUR RECEPTION! YOU CAN COUNT ON IT, BABES!

INTENTIONAL DOCUMENTATION



I KNOW THE WEIGHT THIS WORK CARRIES. I MAY TAKE THE FIRST OR LAST IMAGES OF SOMEONE YOU LOVE. I KNOW THERE ARE NO DO-OVERS, NO SCRIPTS OR SUBSTITUTIONS FOR REAL MOMENTS. 

YOU COME TO ME IN ALL OF YOUR GLORY, IN ALL OF YOUR BROKENNESS, IN YOUR HEALING JOURNEY, IN YOUR ROMANTIC LOVE OR SELF-DISCOVERY. BRING ME YOUR TRUTH AND I PROMISE TO SHOW UP AND HONOUR EVER PIECE OF IT FROM START TO FINISH. 


YOU NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER WHO UNDERSTANDS YOUR VISION, WHO DEEPLY CARES ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AS MUCH AS YOU DO. I WILL DO THAT, EVERY DAMN TIME, LOVE. 


And If I could be anywhere, it’d be wherever love + art collide.

I’ll never stop romanticizing this beautiful life!
