But it doesn't define me...

Photography is more than a job for me; it's a passion woven into the fabric of my life.  I love traveling, finding inspiration in new places to enhance my art, and I’m equally inspired by the people I photograph. Every couple I work with adds a new chapter to both of our stories. I strive to create a comfortable space where you can be yourselves, letting your love and personalities shine through every photo.

Back home, I have cats—don't bother counting at this point! Coffee shops offer a quiet escape where an iced chai or hot chocolate fuels my creativity. And let’s not forget romantic movies—I crave that raw, emotion-filled love that makes your heart skip a beat, just like I aim to capture in every photograph.

If you value photos that allow you to relive your special moments, to feel the butterflies, the laughter, and the warmth all over again, then let’s create something beautiful together. I want you to feel every emotion every time you flip through your photos—not just freezing moments, but preserving memories that reflect your unique connection.

I left my previous jobs to follow my passion, uncertain of where it would lead, but I've found immense joy in this journey. Behind every post and photo is just a girl who’s living her dream, step by step, grateful to those who let me be a part of their story. Let's create a fun, stress-free experience that feels like it’s tailored to you because it truly is!

STORY TELLING is what i do best

My story is like yours...

Growing up, my mom was actually a photographer! Long story short, I learned a lot of things from her, but added my own unique twist to my approach. I want you to look at my photos and feel ALIVE. The moments that only happen when two souls are so connected that they simply cannot stop themselves from embracing each other. I do this by connecting with you, and helping create moments to connect you and your partner together
