Beyond photography, I’m inspired by the little things in life, beautiful nature, slow mornings, walks with my dog, moving my body, deep conversation, cool clothes or places and the people I love. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me experimenting in the kitchen, exploring new spots for inspiration, online shopping... oops, or planning my next adventure (or planning anything, I might be a bit type A).

I believe that the best images come from real moments, not forced poses, and I love creating a space where you can feel completely at ease, laugh, and just be yourself. Every session I take on is a chance to capture something honest, joyful, and uniquely yours, and that’s what keeps me falling in love with photography all over again.

Each gallery I deliver is crafted not just for now, but for the years ahead, for the day you forget the way your partner looked at you mid-laugh, or the excitement you felt when achieving an exciting milestone!
