I am digital and film wedding photographer based out of Maryland. I work mostly with clients in the DC and Baltimore areas, but I'm ready to travel anywhere to photograph your story. My roots are in Idaho, and the West Coast will always be home.

At heart, I am a documentarian. I seek out raw and unplanned moments that preserve real emotions and true connection. I thrive in messy imperfection, and I strive to showcase the realness of your life. I infuse an artistic and editorial flair in my other words documentarian approach, and at the end of the day, my goal is to create multi-generational artistic heirlooms for your loved ones to cherish for years to come. 
35mm film is a core part of my journey as an artist and photographer. I started my photography journey with a film photography and darkroom course my senior year of college, so working with it always feels like returning to my roots.

I am passionate about clients who value the experience; those who hold simple moments close to heart, those who appreciate the art of human connection, and those who value photos they can hold in hand. My clients embrace their emotional connections - they cry, the laugh, and sometimes they dance on tables. They connect with me at a human level, and they value art.

I believe in MEMORIES and MOMENTS, and all the tiny unforgettable things that happen in between. I believe in raw connection and real emotion. My photography is rooted in humanity and emotion. I laugh loudly, smile a lot, and will always eat the dessert at your wedding.

Most of all, I HONESTLY & FEROCIOUSLY LOVE WHAT I DO. 

At heart: Former ballerina, veteran, half Filipina, margarita lover, and Dramoine shipper (IYKYK - lets be friends.)
