The biggest compliment? When another photographer trusts you to capture their wedding day 🥹📸 Honored doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Here’s a little sneak peek into Adam & Emma’s stunning celebration at the George Eastman Museum — overflowing with love, light, and the sweetest golden hour glow ✨🌸

They kicked off their shoes without hesitation.
The waves soaked their jeans. They laughed anyway.

Jenna & Seamus didn’t need fancy props or perfect posing.
They just needed the space to be themselves.

To run into the water.
To hold each other tight.
To play and kiss and laugh until the sun dipped below the lake.

When we planned their session, they told me they wanted something easy, warm, and natural—
something that felt like them.
So that’s exactly what we created.

Not curated.
Not overly styled.
Just honest, messy, golden love—exactly as it is.

This is what I love about engagement sessions.
They’re not about showing off a ring or perfect smiles.
They’re about capturing who you are right now,
in a season you’ll never be in again.

Let’s make something that feels like you 🤍

When I look at these photos of Samera, I can’t help but think back to where it all began for me. 🥹 Most people don’t know this, but senior + portrait photography was the very first chapter of my journey — I was just 15 years old, still in high school, with a camera in my hand and a dream in my heart. 💛

Those early sessions taught me everything — how to make someone feel comfortable in front of the lens, how to play with light, how to tell a story with just one frame. And honestly? Those lessons became the foundation for everything I do now. The way I approach wedding days, the way I capture the tiny details and the big emotions — it all started here.

That’s the beauty of this work: every single session, whether it’s a senior, a couple in love, or a family celebrating their story, is about connection, trust, and creating timeless memories. 🌿

Samera, you were an absolute dream to photograph, and you remind me exactly why I fell in love with this art in the first place. ✨

📸 If you’re thinking about booking portraits (or even your wedding!), know that you’re not just getting photos — you’re getting over a decade of experience, storytelling, and a whole lot of heart poured into every single image.

Leah + Brian 🤍 The kind of wedding that makes you fall in love with love all over again.

From saying “I do” under the willow trees, to their just married walk down the aisle, to tearing it up on the dance floor — these two were all smiles the whole day 🥂✨

The Timberlodge was the perfect backdrop for their laughter, happy tears, and the sweetest little moments (still not over Leah’s veil flying in the wind 😍).

Leah and Brian, thank you for letting me capture every hug, every dance, and every little detail of your best day ever. I was so honored to tell your story. 💍

Bailey & Andrew.
Just married, just them, just joy.

There’s something about the way they look at each other that feels like home. The way her smile lingers when he whispers something only she can hear. The way his shoulders relax when her hand finds his.

After the vows, after the cheers, after the happy chaos of the ceremony… there’s this.
The quiet moments in between, where time slows and it’s just two people soaking in the fact that they get to spend forever together.

Every step they took across the grass, every glance, every laugh — it all felt unhurried. Like they knew this part was worth savoring just as much as the big “I do.”

Bailey & Andrew, thank you for letting me be the one to witness these in-between moments. The ones that will mean even more in the years to come.

I’ve photographed countless brides, but there’s something about moments like this with Bailey that remind me why I fell in love with this work.

The stillness after the vows.
The way light spills through stained glass, wrapping her in warmth and color.
The way her bouquet rests gently in her hands now — no more nerves, just joy.

Behind the camera, I could feel it — the weight of the promises they had just made, and the lightness of knowing they get to keep them forever. Every frame was slower, more intentional, as if time itself was letting them linger in that “just married” magic.

This wasn’t just about the dress or the details (though she looked stunning ✨).
It was about preserving that sacred afterglow — the quiet in-between where relief, love, and pure happiness meet.

Bailey, thank you for letting me witness your love in this kind of light. What a gift it is to do this work.

I like to say that love has a rhythm.
Sometimes it’s loud and electric—
but sometimes, like with Rachel and Derek,
it’s soft…
gentle…
a quiet kind of knowing that settles deep in your bones.

This session reminded me that the most powerful stories aren’t always told with grand gestures or perfect posing.
They’re told in the way her smile meets his touch.
In the way he really sees her.
In the way they laugh like no one else is watching.

Golden light wrapped around them like a blessing that night,
and I just got to witness it all unfold.

These are the kinds of moments I live to photograph 🤍
So full of tenderness, trust, and the sweet anticipation of forever.

Soft sheets, slow mornings, and the quiet thrill of knowing everything is about to change 🤍
This babymoon staycation photo session with Molly & Corey was all about slowing down and just being — in love, in this moment, in the middle of it all.

The way her hands held her belly, the way he held her, and how their laughter lingered long after the shutter clicked.

No grand plans. No perfect itinerary. Just time to be together. To be still. To savor what’s here before what’s next.

The most beautiful moments aren’t always the loudest — they just quietly unfold. And I get the honor of helping to keep them forever.

Golden light. Tangled hands. A cute pup in the middle of it all. ✨

The evening with Chanelle & Mitchell felt like the kind of summer night you wish would never end — warm light, soft laughter, and that freshly-engaged kind of magic where every glance says “I choose you.” 💍☀️
⁠
Evenings like this remind me why I love what I do — documenting not just the milestones, but the in-between magic.⁠

If you’re dreaming of an engagement session that feels less posed and more you — this is your sign.

A candlelit celebration tucked beneath twinkling lights, wrapped in rich florals, velvet tones, and a love that radiated warmth through every glance, every touch. 🕯✨

Every detail was curated with intention, designed for those who dream not just of a wedding day, but of an experience—elevated, emotional, unforgettable.

For the couples who crave connection over convention, beauty layered in meaning, and a setting that feels like stepping into a love story written just for them… this is for you. 🤍

You don’t realize how fleeting it all is… until you’ve lived it. 🤍

Before I was pregnant, I knew maternity photos were meaningful—
but now, after carrying Mateo, I feel the weight of them in an entirely new way.

Capturing this season for Alissa & Brennan felt like photographing a quiet kind of magic.
The kind where love is growing—literally—and everything is about to change in the most beautiful way. 🕊️

Since becoming a mom, I’ve found myself slowing down in sessions like this.
I notice more. Feel more.
It’s not just about posing or pretty light (though give me that golden hour glow ✨)
—it’s about the tenderness, the waiting, the in-between.

This isn’t just a baby bump.
It’s a whole future, already loved beyond words.
And getting to freeze that for people? It’s the honor of a lifetime. 🥹
