my art IS AN OVERFLOW OF THE LOVE I HAVE FOR my family

I was born and raised in Southeast Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia and bounced around from small town to small town. I was never the kid with her head in a book. In fact, I kinda hated school. I can’t tell you how many times people would ask me in high school “so what are you going to do when you graduate?” - I literally had no idea. I just knew I wanted to be an artist, but I never knew how to turn that creativity into a career. So naturally, I got a job at an engineering firm doing absolutely nothing artistic. I loved the people I worked beside but I hated the job. I knew it wasn’t the path I wanted for my life. After I had my son in 2015, I decided to dive into my dream full time and I’ve never looked back. Very thankful for my husband and son because they constantly push me to be the best version of myself.

HERE’S WHAT I LIVE BY

01

AMBITION

If I set my mind to something, you bet your ass I’m gonna make it happen. I pride myself on being a female entrepreneur and I’ve loved watching my business grow year after year with the support of all my amazing clients. I work hard to give my clients an experience unlike the others. We aren’t overly boujee over here, but what we are is real with each other. And we’re gonna have a damn good time.

02

MANIFESTing

Essentially, this is bringing something tangible to your life through attraction and belief. i.e. if you think it, it will come. I whole heartedly believe if you carry this mindset with you, the positive will happen. We attract goodness. We attract abundance. It’s all right there, you just can’t be shy from it. Try it. Go blow some cinnamon through your front door on the 1st of the month, or on a new moon and draw in that good shit. You’re welcome.

LOVE

Sounds simple enough, right? But it’s all right there. Nothing in life fills my cup more than love. My husband, my son, my family, my friends. Every person who has crossed my path and changed me, or made me into a better human today.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, my angel numbers are 111.

SPEED date

I spend as much time as possible soaking up life with my little family. I lucked out with the greatest husband alive (who also happens to be pretty f’n hot), and we have the most amazing kid who feels like a mini version of both of us. They are truly everything.
Being a mom and a wife is the most meaningful, grounding, joy-filled part of my life. It’s shaped who I am, the way I see the world, and even the way I document love, family, and connection through my work. Motherhood and family life fuel my creativity every single day.
I was probably 10, 11, or 12 when I picked up my first cameras, and I immediately started roping all my friends into my wild photo shoot ideas. We’d brainstorm concepts, trek out into the woods, and I’d direct them in poses while we laughed our way through it. Those afternoons were pure joy, and I think that’s when I first fell in love with photography — with the creativity, the storytelling, and the simple thrill of capturing a moment. That spark has never left me.
Imposter syndrome. It’s something so many photographers — myself included — struggle with. That nagging feeling that maybe we’re not as good as we think we are, or that someone else could do it better. It’s a very real fear, especially in a creative industry where comparison is everywhere.
Over my 10+ years in photography, I’ve learned not to let it consume me. Instead, I’ve embraced it as a sign that I’m still growing, still learning, and still pushing myself creatively. The moment you stop feeling like an imposter — the moment you stop feeling like there’s room to improve — that’s when your journey in photography is over. For me, it’s exactly what keeps me curious, ambitious, and in love with what I do.
Both of my leg tattoos mean a lot to me. One is a moth paired with my son’s name — a little tribute I carry with me everywhere. The other is a tarot card: The Empress. She symbolizes so much of what I connect with… creation, femininity, love, art, intuition, even the power to build something meaningful in business.
She’s everything I aspire to embody, on and off camera.
Dogs. And bats — which, no matter what anyone tries to tell me, are basically just tiny, flying Halloween dogs. I will die on that hill.
Hands down, the hardest part is the time away from my family. I absolutely love what I do, but people often forget that this job goes far beyond the wedding day or the session itself. There are days and weeks of editing, constant learning, networking, creating, refining — it’s always more.
Being a wedding photographer is a 24/7/365 commitment, and I pour my whole heart into it. But that dedication sometimes comes with sacrifices, and time away from the people I love most is the biggest one.
I refuse to choose just one favorite show — and thankfully, this is my website, so I make the rules. My comfort lineup includes Friends, How I Met Your Mother, Schitt’s Creek, and New Girl. Peak feel-good TV, every single one.
F*ck - TikTok, DUH.
Marry - Instagram, Seems most reliable.

Kill - Facebook, Pretty self explainatory.

I LOVE, love

And yes, that is cliche to say as a wedding photographer who literally makes a living telling your love stories through photos. But heres the thing: if I didnt, I’d be a terrible photographer. So, be glad, right? Kidding aside, every wedding I walk into is like a dopamine boost. No two weddings are ever the same and I love the differences in all of your stories. I pride myself on getting to know my couples personally and on a deeper level. We become actual friends. I want to know all your quirks and idiosyncrasies that make you who you are.

YOU IN LOVE YET?
