my journey
how did we get here?
2002
I grew up in the competitive dance world where my mother would capture every special moment. This was my first introduction into the world of photography!
2006
Thanks to the US Navy, we packed all our things and moved to Connecticut! I didn't at the time, but I grew to absolutely adore living in New England.
2013
After meeting and chatting online, I had my first date with this cute guy named Ryan. We met in Mystic and instantly felt I could talk to him forever.
2014
Ryan's sister got married and I saw, first hand, people making a living doing photography. I mean, besides those doing school and dance photos...
2015
While on an annual vacation with his family in Maine, Ryan got down on one knee and asked me the easiest YES of my life!!
2015
The idea of pursuing photography had been weighing on my heart a lot. I finally took the leap and captured my first ever clients (a wedding if you can believe it)!!
2018
After reaching out to a fellow photographer's post, we rehoused the sweetest little kitty named Feather!!
2018
After 3 years engaged and nearly 5 years together, Ryan and I finally had the wedding of our dreams! It was the most magical day!!
2018
This business became official and legally legit! Ryan and I shot our first wedding together and started a new chapter of this journey!
2023
A year of fertility struggles, financial struggles, surgery, and a lot of stresses. A very scary year that I didn't know if I, or my business, would survive...
2024
2023 was a hardest year but also strangely the best because...I"M OFFICIALLY FULL TIME!! This was the craziest decision but one that I'm so proud of and so ready for!!
In addition to being the best husband ever and my trusted second shooter, he wears all of the hats. His full-time job is a 2nd Grade Bilingual teacher (he's fluent in Spanish!) as well as working part-time with me at Windsor Ninja Academy! While I am the one who handles all things creative, he is the one who handles all things logistic. I'm so thankful for him handling all the nitty gritty to keep this business legal and legit. I also appreciate that he ensures I am hydrated on busy wedding days and that I don't talk too much (because I talk a lot sometimes...)!
