Thanks to my mom’s influence, I’ve had a Canon film camera in my hands as long as I can remember…but when my husband proposed with a DSLR as my engagement ring, it all changed! I started photographing weddings in 2010, and still love the job I’m so lucky to do!

HA! Remember instagram in 2012? Premade filters and like every meal we ate was worthy of the ‘gram. As far as my client interaction I think that’s what has evolved the most. I’ve seen A LOT of weddings, and I’ve seen where I can interject myself to help clients, guests, etc. have a more joyful day. I’ve come into my own and stand firm in what I believe, advocate for those things, and passionately care for everything that matters to me!

Yes? and No? I have shot all the things, and while so many types of shoots are near and dear to my heart, I have entered a phase of life that being a mother is my number one priority - thus, most of my time spent away is shooting weddings. During the off season I’m happy to take on a bit more family / lifestyle work (hey! I was listed on the Peerspace Best Lifestyle Photographers in Columbus!)

YES! What is most important to me is working with clients whose ideals and aesthetic aligns with mine. Most of the time that’s in my home area, but I’m always grateful to get to come to where I’m wanted!

YES! I started shooting film more heavily of my own personal photography in 2016, and haven’t stopped. I love the creativity I find myself using when I look through a film camera.

RIGHT? This is from years ago when my daughter asked which was higher on my list of favorites. I think now, FLOWERS!
