i love
I'm a mother of one (with one on the way) and a lover of all things dreamy & romantic. I've had an interest in photography for over a decade, but naturally during the pandemic, I started really looking inward and had to decide what was filling me up and what was not. This was when I decided that it really made me feel GOOD to capture moments as they were - candid memories. My style has evolved plenty over the years and I swear, every day I lean more and more into documenting vs. strict posing. Though there is nothing wrong with preferring to be smiling and looking at the camera, I prefer to capture how you felt the day of your shoot and to capture interactions. This especially amplified after having my daughter in 2021. I love that I'm able to look back at photos and see that silly scrunched-up-nose face that she made all the time, or see the way my husband's eyes light up when he looks at her.

You can find me most likely reading. I also have to be creating with my hands most of the time, so I could be embroidering, painting, crocheting, or whatever craft I've decided to turn into my identity that day. This all obviously comes after tending to my shy-yet-loud, hilarious & curious toddler. I try my best to live slowly, and I thrift almost everything. My music taste is all over the board and so are my favorite shows. I love researching my ancestry and even tried to teach myself Irish last year (I swear I will try again). I'd love to learn the piano one day, but for now my husband will hold the title of musician of the household.
Now that you've gotten to know me a little, I'd love to get to know you! I'd love to really capture your essence and your couple/family dynamics as they truly are.
