my story

Thank you for visiting my lil piece of the interwebs and wanting to learn more about me. It is truly a blessing to be able to share my story, who I am, and why I do what I do here is about .143 % of who I am!

If you are going to know anything about me you should know that Jesus is my main guy & being his ambassador on this side of heaven is pretty stinkin cool. He has given me a heart that longs for everybody in this world to feel loved & included.

I’m relentlessly passionate about loving everyone without hesitation, no matter their opinions, talents, & closest to my heart: their abilities. this work gives me the opportunity to shout everyone’s worth by inviting each soul to feel significant and then sharing their unique beauty with the world


Let's connect

There will never be enough space on the internet to express my love I have for the people in my life. Before meeting me you should know I am most likely the loudest human you will ever meet (lol sry I was born this way). If you were to spend the day with me I will for sure ask you what your enneagram number is AND your love language. THIS IS BECAUSE I love learning about people. My undergraduate and masters degree is human development from Iowa State (go cyclones!!), so you could say working and learning about people is my ultimate JAM. Also, if you haven't recognized already, I TYPE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I TALK LIKE THIS.

I am the gal for you if you value somebody who's in it to capture moments, not instagram posts, to shout the ability of all, who's here to not only photograph your moments but to CHEER YOU ON in the process, and if you basically want a new bff. Serving you is what I am here for, so let's get to it.

The way I do things around here



Heres the way I do things. Whether that be for a wedding day, couples session, family session, or senior pictures my goal is to capture you and your story. What does that mean exactly? How is this different than other photographers? Are you for everyone?! Heres the deal. First, nope, I am probably not everyone's cup of tea because nobody is everyone's cup of tea. I FREAKING WISH. If you are looking for a photographer who is a perfectionistic, quiet, and super professional, I am just not your gal.

I am a photographer for all those types of sessions because I am here for moments and laughs and genuine connection. I promise to never make you pose (yes you will be moving (dancing???) pretty much the whole time!!!) I'll for sure throw out some stupid jokes and ask about your story, your person, and what makes you YOU. On wedding days I am part photographer, part hype girl, part pep talker, part grandma's bff, you name it. The way I do things around here? I keep it real fun, real simple, real authentic, and real kind. 


Wanna be friends?!
