Lauren + Kelin are a special couple in my books. When they first reached out about their wedding, I was going to say I wasn’t available. You see, they’re getting married on my anniversary :) And I always vowed to never shoot a wedding on our anniversary. But these two? Well they’re the sweetest! And they’re good friends of these two, which I’m also in love with. Plus this year is a little different because for our anniversary, we’re celebrating by jetting off to Hawai’i for 2 weeks to relive our honeymoon! That reminds me, I should probably get to the gym (#noonewantstoseethiswhitebodyinaswimsuit)!

Heading into their engagement session, they knew they wanted city, winter, and at dusk into night! With taking a few breaks to warm up our hands, we managed to make it through the bitterly cold temps :) And they didn’t hate me when I kept saying “oh, wait just one more shot!” :) Thanks guys for bearing with me and rocking the day!

With an eye for detail and a heart for connection, I specialize in refined and intentional portraits. From families and newborns to engagements and milestones, my work is guided by emotional storytelling — capturing honest moments and meaningful connection through luminous, editorial imagery. I value natural light and thoughtful composition, creating photographs that feel artful, elevated, and deeply personal.
