For the past 10 years, I’ve had the honor of helping couples and families capture their most cherished moments throughout Central Illinois. I know the process can feel overwhelming, but that’s exactly why I’m here—to guide you every step of the way. My goal is to make sure you feel calm, confident, and fully supported. With me by your side, you can relax knowing you're in great hands—and together, we’ll create stunning photos you’ll treasure forever.
and I’m so excited you’re here! I believe in building a personal connection with everyone I work with, so I need you to get to know me too!
When I’m not behind the camera,
You’ll usually find me teaching 5th graders, belting out tunes from every genre, or cozied up with my pups, Waylon and Merle. I’m a sucker for iced coffee, a solid workout, and any excuse to travel and soak in the beauty of the world. Oh, and I might have a slight obsession with Jurassic Park and Harry Potter. I love the nostalgic crackle of vinyl on a record player, the perfect shape of a specially crafted Reese’s, and the occasional heartwarming romantic movie—because sometimes, you just need a good love story.
I do what I do because I get to share my passion, bring joy to others, and capture moments that truly matter. Even on the late nights of editing or the exhausting days, I remind myself why I keep going: the joy of seeing people light up. My family, my clients—they’re at the heart of everything I do, and that’s what makes it all worth it.
The Heart Behind My Why
Here's what matters...
I always want to give my clients something they can look back on and be happy that they got those pictures done.
The Quality Product
Collaboration is so much easier when we truly get to know each other! I want to learn about you just as much as you want to learn about me—that’s what makes this process so meaningful.
connection
The entire process from inquiry to your gallery delivery will be seamless because I want this to be easy and stress-free for you.
experience
It’s about making you feel confident, comfortable, and truly yourself. I take the time to choose the perfect setting that reflects your personality and style, so your photos feel as real as they look.
I know photoshoots can feel daunting, but my approach is all about natural, candid moments—the laughter, the quiet glances, the spontaneous reactions that make your story unique. Whether it’s a session or your wedding day, this should be exciting, not stressful. Let’s create memories that feel as beautiful as they look.
