MY ROOTS

oregon based, but at home anywhere.

As the daughter of a photographer, I learned to operate a camera when I was 14 years old by following my dad around at weddings and taking candid photos of the bride, groom, and guests. I was always in the background, trying not to be seen, waiting for that perfect moment to snap a shot when nobody was looking. My dad taught me everything. After he retired 16 years ago, I decided to start my own photography business. That candid style he taught me shaped my photography style, and is still very prominent in my work to this day. I incorporate documentary style candids with naturally tailored portraits, to create an artful, flowing, extremely personal story of your day.

I live on the Oregon coast in a town called Rockaway Beach, about 1.5 hours away from Portland. I spend my time here with my partner (Collin) and dog (Rainy), surfing, mountain biking, gardening, and living as much in the physical world as possible. I love creating, and I spend a lot of time oil painting, restoring furniture, and working on interior design in my home. Having artistic outlets outside of photography gives me unique perspectives on perspective, colors, light, tones, lines, shapes, and mood that pushes me to become a better photographer.

I work best with clients who want something documentary, genuine, real, a little editorial, and natural. Many of my clients are artists, architects, designers, or have an artistic side to them.

My Goal

In a world where images are created in constant motion, my approach is to pause—to observe deeply and photograph with intention: honest, thoughtful, and present. To be invited into such an intimate day as a wedding, to witness it unfold naturally, and to translate that experience into something timeless and deeply personal—that is the greatest privilege of my work. I am here to keep you grounded, calmly ensure things run seamlessly, capture your essence as a couple, and to project back the energy felt on your day through my lens. I would describe my style as documentary, natural, playful, artful, intentional, and honest.
