Behind the Lens
about me
I'm a hopeless romantic who loves capturing genuine smiles, happy tears, and reminiscing on amazing memories!
Southern by birth, Northern by choice. Addicted to coffee and kitty snuggles. Lover of fluffy flowers and bright colors!
Growing up, I remember watching my mother take photos of anything and everything around me back before digital was even on my radar. I always felt so amazing when she'd let me take a few photos and it was from there that I learned to really love the art of capturing people, emotions, memories...
But it wasn't until I attended my sister-in-laws wedding in 2014 that I saw a professional photographer in action. I should say, someone other than the awkward school photo lady who sat me on a stool and told me to smile. But it was then that the thought clicked. I could do something with purpose and love and have it support my family.
I took a while to gain the courage to make the jump, but in 2018 I started my business and I've loved working hard and growing ever since!

My husband, Ryan, is without a doubt my greatest blessing. He is a constant inspiration and a total rock on my worst days.

While photography is my dream career, I also work part-time at a local Ninja Warrior gym and it is easily my second home!

I have a degree in History so it is no wonder such a beautiful and history-rich city like Newport would be a favorite of mine.

Does this sound like you? LET'S CHAT ABOUT YOUR BIG DAY!!
My clients believe laughter is the best medicine and aren't afraid to be their authentic (sometimes nerdy) selves!
They want beautiful memories, but they also want those moments captured in a genuine and timeless way. My clients aren't afraid to be true to themselves whether that is having pizza for dinner or a less than conventional first dance. My couples are authentic, fun (and won't mind if I dance around the floor while capturing the reception...)!
