wedding, elopement, and portrait photographer based in Olympia, WA

I'm the type of photographer that will roast you but also be your #1 hype girl and cheerleader

As cliche as it is the things that matter most to me in life are my family, my doggo, Moe, and experiencing life to it's fullest. Traveling is a big part of that experience for me! My new years resolution for 2022 is to travel somewhere every month throughout the year. Where should we go together? 

I also love coffee (my go to Starbucks order is a white chocolate mocha), volleyball (I actually played in college), and planning where I will eat next :)

RThat’s a little sneak peek into my life and a few of my favorite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories (and hopefully yours too!)

Every wedding, every shoot, I see the world through a whole new lens. Your story will be different from the last, and this ignites my passion all over again.

I've always been very nostalgic. I got my first camera for my 16th birthday and it all kind of spiraled form there. When I picked my camera back up  a few months after getting my first "big girl" job I started offering sessions with absolutely no intention of photographing weddings because surely that was just something I couldn't do.

Then I got married - and to be honest, I had a horrible experience with my wedding photographer. He didn't care about me, my fiance, or our wedding day. He cared about getting cool pictures for his Instagram and portfolio and collecting my money. Apparently I didn't have the "look" he preferred for his portfolio. I felt horrible about myself, depressed looking at my wedding photos, and like I had put my faith and trust (and money) in someone who didn't care about me at all. In that moment I knew I had to become a wedding photography so that no one would have to feel that way ever again.

I shoot with no ego, meaning you are not "for the gram" in my eyes. I LOVE to take awesome, artistic, fun, and creative photos. But you are not my art project. This is your story and I'm here to unapologetically capture it.

Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat

When you choose me to be your 3rd wheel on your wedding day our journey together actually starts wayyyyyy before that day (spoiler alert: if you're reading this our journey already started and I love that for us.) It's really important to me that we spend some time together, starting with meeting face to face before you book.

It's likely I'll be part of your wedding planning process throughout the entirety of things from getting started to timeline planning, and even after the wedding/elopement! And that's one of the reasons I FREAKING LOVE capturing love stories. I like to get to know you, who you guys truly are, so I can accurately capture the honest truth of your love day of.

On your wedding day you'll find me coming in hot with my coffee ready to get the party started! I will back in the background for the all the little, natural and candid moments - some you may not even see happening until you look at your gallery. For the moments that need direction and guidance I've got you! You don't have to worry about what to do with your hands I promise :) I'm the oldest of 10 kids and great at being the boss!

Within 24 hours of your session/wedding/elopement you will get a sneak peek from me and your whole gallery in 4-10 weeks!
