behind the lens

Hello!

I always say I have the best job in the world because a lot of the time it hardly feels like work (except when I'm doing my admin tasks!) But aside from my passion for photographing weddings, I absolutely love spending time outdoors. I love long walks on the beach (cliche, I know I know), finding new camping spots, riding horses, and sipping margaritas in the summer sun.  But most of all, I love hanging out with Husband, our two little girls, and our crazy rescue pup. 






Going beyond the photography.
