It might have started with sheepish smiles and fumbling conversation, but it soon turned into tight hugs and the longest goodbyes even though you would see each other the next day. It turned into sharing the best moments of life togehter. Laughing. Adventuring. Being unashamedly you. Somewhere along the way you realized you found your best friend. Your safe place. Your home in human form. And now you're getting married (which is pretty much the most beautiful gift life has to offer if I do say so myself)!! Your love is intimate and sacred. It's goofy and genuine. And it is my privilege to document it with care and intentionality.

and oh, what a sweet journey it has been!

You have found
where you belong.

Get to know me

I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer based out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I have always been a storyteller in the entire sense of the word. I scribbled short stories into my childhood notebook from the time I learned to write. I created scrapbooks in middle school filled with the people I loved to hold their memories close. In high school, I drew portraits that held joy and sorrow and kept them by my nightstand. In college, I studied Creative Writing with a dream to be a published novelist one day. As an adult I found a deep love in getting to document stories through photography. I devote myself to capturing real and beautiful emotions through photography, bottling up the deep feeling of belonging you have found in one another and turning it into timeless art.
