Questions and Answers
Why should someone hire you?
Your photographer is with you more throughout the day than just about anyone else, so it’s important to choose someone you are comfortable with. It’s been a delight to hear positive feedback from my clients regarding their sense of warmth and welcome in front of me and my camera. I strive to help my couples feel at ease throughout the day while diving into their world through all of the laughter, tears, and intimate moments that I am honored to document. A close relationship with my clients allows me to carefully capture every moment—never at a distance, never missing a beat.
What drew you to this field/how did you get started?
While earning my BFA in advertising photography in college, I also focused on photojournalism, portraiture, and fine art photography. Seeking an avenue that allowed me to embrace each style of photography that I love so much, I discovered that weddings were the perfect combination. Not only could I exercise my love of documentary photography with heartfelt candid moments, fashion photography for the couple’s portrait session, and fine art while capturing each special detail of the day, I also get to work closely with REAL and AMAZING couples from all over the world and all walks of life. I cherish the connections I make with my clients and the fact that I have gained so many friendships throughout my career.
