I’m just your average, goofy 24 year old who married her high school sweetheart in 2017 (shout out to the best hubby ever!) and owns this awesome time machine, my camera. Currently I’m living in Northern Virginia, but I was born and raised in the good ol’ Long Island, New York. 

I have always loved photography since I was young; studying film(video) production in college has only amplified that love into an outright passion. I have already learned so much about photography, videography and story telling in just four short years. I cannot wait to continue my journey in a career I love, while also meeting awesome new people.
I love the idea of love and how special marriage truly is. I also love making people feel beautiful. The best way I’ve learned to do this is by capturing them with my camera.

MY STYLE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IS A LOT LIKE ME, INFORMAL + UNTRADITIONAL.

My goal whenever meeting new people is always to make them feel at ease and cared for. So, heck yes I am going to play some music + talk about fun pop-culture references to get our juices flowing. I want us to have fun together so that you almost forget there’s a camera 2 feet from your face.. almost. 🙂
I love those special candid moments that really showcase you. Trust me I know it can be awkward in front of the camera, (it’s funny for me sometimes too) but I am here to coach you through it and to be goofy with you in order to capture your moments. Because to me, those unposed moments are what brings all the emotion to a photograph.

so, if you have read this far…

I want you to feel confident in choosing me to photograph you. I’m ready to climb up hills to find your perfect photo spot, get in the mud to find the perfect lighting, to tell you funny stories about being a dog mom to capture that perfect smile. I’m ready to hear about your life and the things that make you, you. I’m ready to capture your moments, those perfectly imperfect in-between moments, your stories, so that you can cherish them for years to come.

So email me, follow me, let’s be friends and get to know one another so we can create some wonderful memories for the long run.
