I’m a bit of a perfectionist, finding joy in the beauty of every tiny detail, while also embracing the chaos of motherhood — where every day is an adventure and nothing goes as planned.

Behind the Lens

ABOUT me

Hopeless romantic, detail-obsessed, and always chasing soft light (or my kids)

I’m a Nashville-based photographer and a mom to two: a little girl who loves a good dance party and a baby boy whose smile can light up any room. We also have two dogs & two bunnies in the mix and a love for travel when we can sneak it in.

I’m all about capturing real life—the little moments you want to hold onto forever. The baby rolls, the quick “can you believe this is all ours?” glances with your partner, the tiny hands wrapped around yours. It’s not about perfect poses—it’s about the everyday magic that makes your family yours.

I love nothing more than spending my days surrounded by my family, camera in hand.  Read on for a little more about me and the studio.

Dreamy newborn baby smiles and sneezes. It never gets old!

When I was 38 weeks pregnant with my second, I rented a studio and shot my own maternity session. My husband and toddler joined and had dance parties to make it even more special!

Watching New Girl and Friends over and over again. And sneaking an Oreo when my kids aren't looking.

Sevilla, Spain with Tuscany, Santorini, and Croatia tied for 2nd. I also love the old city streets of Charleston and the pine trees of Flagstaff, Arizona.
