WELCOME, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE

WELCOME, I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE

I didn't grow up thinking I'd be a photographer. In fact I was never really set on one career. I bounced around many different career ideas but they never felt like me. Amongst all the careers options I considered, photography was one of them. And it felt different. It felt right. Like something I could do for the rest of my life and never get tired of. Something I’d lie awake dreaming of at night. So I did it, I went full force and jumped right in. I bought my very first camera from Facebook market place, watched tons and tons of YouTube videos, but most importantly I went out and practiced alottt. I learned the ins and outs of my camera and the importance of shooting in different light settings. I even had the amazing privilege of getting an internship with another photographer. I tried it all, I failed, I got back up, I’ve found my passions within in photography. I have continued to grow and learn all the things through educational courses and attending multiple workshops. I’ve invested in myself and my career which leads me to today. Now I’m in my sixth year of business and insanely grateful I took the risk.

My goal for anyone who steps in front of my camera, is to make you feel confident and safe. I hope the photographs I take do the best job at reflecting you and your story. I like to take on a documentary approach with an editorial feel. Intentional yet raw, real. I understand getting your photos taken is a very intimate thing to do, which is why I am here to help the wholeee way. I don’t expect your kids to behave perfectly, in fact I embrace the chaos. I will gently guide you with prompts that feel natural to you. From the beginning I will send my list of favorite locations in Columbus, Oh, help with outfit planning, and we can intentionally curate a Pinterest board together. All you need to do is show up, ready to be captured and I handle the rest.

Aside from photography, I am a lover of Jesus (my faith truly is everything to me), my husband Jaryd, and am currently pregnant with my first daughter. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a mom, which why motherhood photography is so important to me. I love a fun drink, whether it's lattes, chai, or my most recent obsession, dirty soda (I'll probably ask you if you've ever tried one :) I love traveling especially to the west coast + the desert has my heart. I'm a type 2 on the enneagram, I love to help people. I believe small details are so important, the ones people don't usually see. Hence why I love documentary photography.

“And whatever you do, whether I word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
