Based in Charleston, with New England also home, I’m drawn to places with history, character, and a strong sense of identity. Travel, architecture, and the way people actually live in a space have always held my attention.

Motherhood changed the way I understand time. You realize quickly that nothing stays the same for long. That awareness shapes how I see. The quick glance across a room. The way someone reaches for you without thinking. The energy before something even happens.

I care about presence. Quality. Depth. Life is too short to spend it living out "expectations".

If you value real, and you want it done well, you’re in the right place.

Welcome, I'm

Whether we are in Charleston or abroad, I approach each session with calm focus and intention. I believe in subtle guidance over stiff posing, real movement over forced perfection, and edits that feel authentic, not overworked.

Life is a little like your favorite linen shirt. You start with a plan and vision, but once it is lived in, the wrinkles show up. They're not flaws, they're proof it was worn well.

This is the vision I bring to a wedding day. A family session. Real life. The beauty is not in perfection, but rather in the unique little wrinkles and real life that shows up.

My work is documentary at its core. I am not here to overcorrect or manufacture something polished but empty. I'm a steady presence, step in when guidance helps, and step back when it matters more. You stay present, I’ll pay attention.
