My love for photography started when I was about seven years old. I would watch my older sister set up portraits and play with light.

It was so intriguing to me. I always loved being her model and knew someday I would be setting up my own shots with models as well.

At Kent State University, I took my first step into a photo lab learning film and developing. I was obsessed, and every chance I could get I would be working on my images. Majoring in Journalism and Mass Communications helped me pick up a knack for documenting the realness of my subjects. My education taught me inside camera techniques, programs like Photoshop and Lightroom, studio lighting and flattering poses for portraits. It was those skills I brought with me to the wonderful world of weddings.

Weddings are a pure joy for me to photograph. I love every aspect of the day from the details, to the emotions, to the fun party moments and meeting the most lovely couples. Every wedding is so unique,

and to be the one to tell their story through my images is a real dream come true for me.
