I want to help you build a business to support the life that you want.
I believe that it’s possible to have a job that makes you happy, but that also helps provide the life you always wanted to live. That’s what I was able to build with my business, and I want to help others do the same.
I wanted the freedom to set my own hours. Be my own boss. Work from home so that I could easily have a family one day. I wanted a job that was creative and allowed me to frequently flex that side of my brain. So after I was introduced to the wedding photography business through the planning of my own wedding in 2011, I knew that this was the career that checked all my boxes.
That particular dream was never on my radar. But I also never felt that having a traditional 9-5 job was right for me either.
I grew up in Southern California and moved to Utah State University after high school. It was there that I met and married my husband at 20 years old (young love). I never imagined that in addition to falling in love with my husband, I’d also fall in love with the wedding industry and want to start my own business.
Currently loving planting my flower garden, audiobooks that make me laugh-out-loud, a monthly girls night out, and evening bikes rides with my family.
I don’t dismiss the little things.
If there is something I want to accomplish, I’ll find a way to get it done no matter how unconventional it might be.
I’ve created workflows, guides, and countless youtube videos to show other photographers how to make their businesses more efficient and seamless.
In addition to digital photography, I also shoot film photography when the timeline and the weather allow.

After 4 years of trying to grow our family, and 3 rounds of IVF, our son Miles was born in February of 2025. He is such a sweetheart and a joy to be around. Being his mom is an honor. Miles loves rides on the ebike, cooking with me in the kitchen, and mornings at the park.
My husband since 2011! We met at Utah State and moved to the east coast after graduating so that he could attend medical school. After 9 additional years of training, he is now a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist. In his free time he likes woodworking and fly fishing.
