WEDDINGS

There’s something truly magical about a wedding day—the emotions, the beauty, the once-in-a-lifetime moments unfolding all around. I love photographing weddings because every couple has a unique story, and it’s an honor to be trusted with capturing it. From the nervous excitement before the ceremony to the joyful celebration with family and friends, I get to preserve those moments forever. It’s meaningful, it’s powerful—and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

PORTRAITS

Portrait photography is all about connection. I love being able to capture the essence of a person—their personality, their confidence, their story—in a single image. Whether it's a senior about to take on the world, a child full of wonder, or a family celebrating life together, portraits freeze a moment in time that would otherwise pass by. It’s more than just taking a picture—it’s creating something meaningful that lasts forever.

SENIOR PORTRAITS

Senior portraits are such an exciting part of what I do. It’s a time full of energy, change, and possibility—and I love capturing that! Each session is a chance to highlight a senior’s unique personality, style, and story as they close one chapter and begin another. It’s more than just a milestone; it’s a celebration of who they are right now and all that’s ahead. Helping seniors feel confident, seen, and celebrated is why I love what I do.

HEADSHOTS

Headshots are all about making a strong first impression, and I love helping people put their best face forward. Whether it's for a business profile, acting portfolio, or personal brand, a great headshot captures confidence, professionalism, and authenticity. I enjoy working one-on-one to bring out natural expressions and genuine personality—it’s all about showing the real you in the best possible light. Helping clients feel confident and look amazing is what makes headshot photography so rewarding for me.
