I have been at this since 2009 and constantly expanding myself in this world. I enjoy making my dream client smile while I capture their photos. I describe myself as warm, caring, and adventurous. I invest in my work like it’s my child, which is fueled by chai and matcha lattes. I am the best of both worlds when it comes to logistics and creativity, so together, you and I will bring wonders to the shoot.

My dream clients tend to be laid back, open minded, and have a sense of humor (even though I am still understanding sarcasm to this day). I perk up every time I meet the client of my dreams, visit a magical venue of their dreams, or bring out genuine smiles. I promise you, we will have a blast and connect. I’m the gal that will listen to you and let you cry on my shoulder because I have no shame in myself anymore, and I care about you.

Do you believe you are awkward or your partner is not a fan of feeling photogenic? No fear! A quick chat over the phone will definitely ease the tension since looking for the right photographer with the personality and work is crucial. Trust I believe I have the right words to say that makes you feel like a warm drink by the fireplace, or the feeling of watching sunsets.
