A blog here, a camera there, a few glasses of wine and a crafting event in between, somewhere along the way, I stopped piecing things together and started building something real.
I didn’t plan to become an entrepreneur. I was just trying to make something out of the pieces life handed me.

about
I met my husband when I was 23 at Coyote Ugly in New York City and married him two years later. He’s in the Marine Corps, which means we’ve moved more times than I can count... from Japan to Georgia to North Carolina to Virginia to California and back again... learning how to build a life wherever we land.
It was in Japan, unable to find steady work, that I picked up a camera and started documenting our life through a travel blog. What began as a creative outlet slowly became a business.
When we moved back stateside and I had our first daughter, photography became something more. I built a wedding photography business while raising babies, hosting styled shoots, and creating spaces where people could connect and create together. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was learning that I love more than just capturing moments. I love creating environments where people feel seen.

It all started at a bar.
Let’s rewind a bit.
In 2023, shortly after moving back to Virginia, I was diagnosed with low grade serous ovarian cancer. What followed was surgery, recovery, and a shift in how I see everything: my work, my time, and what actually matters.
I’m stable now, but that season changed me. It clarified what I want my life to look like, not just my business.
These days, I photograph weddings and families with a focus on what lasts... the relationships, the in-between moments, the things you’ll want to remember years from now.
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about photos. It’s about building a life you don’t want to rush through.
