Hi, I am
I’m a Missouri-based portrait and lifestyle photographer with a documentary approach to the way I shoot.
I’m drawn to the moments that don’t ask for attention. The quiet in-between, the movement, the way something actually felt rather than how it was posed. My work isn’t about creating perfectly styled scenes. It’s about noticing what’s already there and capturing it in a way that feels honest and true to you.
A lot of what I do is rooted in connection. I’m not big on rigid posing or over-directing. I’ll guide you when needed, but I also leave space for things to unfold naturally. The goal is for you to feel comfortable enough to be yourself, because that’s when the best images happen. I’m very much a girls’ girl at heart, and creating an environment where people feel confident, relaxed, and taken care of matters just as much to me as the final photos.
Outside of photography, I work in marketing and digital design, which definitely influences the way I see things. Composition, detail, storytelling, all of it. I’ve always been a creative person who needs an outlet, and photography quickly became the one I connected with most.
When I’m not shooting, I’m usually with my husband Joe and our three pets, finding small ways to stay inspired. Whether that’s curating a new playlist, chasing good weather, or just paying attention to the little things most people overlook.
If you’re looking for photos that feel natural, effortless, and actually reflect who you are, I’d love to work with you.
