My main objective in photographing your wedding is to show your culture. Who are you and your fiance? What is your heritage? How has history, food, and lifestyle played a role in your lives? What friends have you chosen, and what are their individual styles? All of these things come together to create a culture that you've build together. Every couple has a different story. 

Being the daughter of a photographer, I learned to operate a camera when I was 12 years old by following my dad around at weddings and taking candid photos of the bride, groom, and guests. I was always in the background, trying not to be seen, waiting for that perfect moment to snap a shot of the bride, groom, their family, and friends. After my dad retired 11 years ago, I took over his business and have been shooting ever since. That candid style he taught me has transferred over to my work today, and I continue to sway toward natural moments that feel intimate and real.

I am originally from SLC, Utah, but I relocated to Portland, Oregon a little over a year ago, and I now call it home. I have been a traveling photographer for 6 years now, and am obsessed with seeing people’s lives and learning about their cultures.
 

I specialize in weddings, elopements, and couples sessions. I honestly love all types of weddings—from low-key elopements and small gatherings, to formal/classy, to big parties with tons of guests. I don’t pigeonhole myself to only one type. You’ll notice from my portfolio that I like to keep myself shooting a variety of work—I am always open to working with anyone who feels a connection to my work. I really value my relationships with my clients, and keep a soft spot in my heart for every one of them. I don’t just take on as many weddings as possible, churning them out as fast as I can. I develop relationships with them, get to know them, and take an interest in their lives. I still light up when I see clients from 10 years ago.
