I’m a lifestyle photographer based in DeKalb County, Illinois, capturing everything from weddings and newborn snuggles to branding sessions and senior year milestones. I photograph real life — the candid moments, the tiny details, the laughs you didn’t know I caught. If it’s honest and beautiful, I’m here for it.
My editing style is true to color (no crazy filters here), and my approach is relaxed, easygoing, and focused on creating images that actually feel like you. What sets me apart? I keep things affordable, I don’t make you wait forever for your gallery (hello, fast turnaround!), and I genuinely care about making you feel comfortable in front of the camera.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m working as a full time recruiter, or busy being mom to two small people, or being a busy wifey, or busy planning my next Target run or run to 7 Brew ;)
-You're into belly laughs more than stiff poses
-You care more about how it feels rather than how it looks
-You’ve got a Pinterest board but are totally fine throwing it out if the moment takes over.
-You're down for golden hour, blue hour, or "oops we stayed out way too late" hour.
I received my Bachelor's Degree from North Central College in Naperville, IL. I studied Interactive Media. Who knew it would have paid off?!
My first session was in 2020 during COVID... if I showed you the pictures, you'd see how far I've come...
I started to work at Bella Baby Photography, taking photos of newborn squishes at Sherman Hospital in Elgin.
I began taking paid clients in Fall 2022, some of which who stuck with me through the years!
My first paid wedding... the nerves!
It was at a neighborhood clubhouse for a sweet couple turning into a blended family (see below!)
Dozens of families, babies and couples later! I have created such amazing relationships through it all!

I love them all (but probably cake smashes!)
