nice to meet you
A multi-cultural, multi-race, trilingual book nerd who... loves love stories.
And someone who is even more freakin floored that I get to call it a "job" to document and share them. It all started with an undying obsession for epic, star-crossed love stories and adventures in books, and then turned into something completely different the day I could afford to buy my very own camera. On the day I photographed my first wedding, I felt my heart fill with a million times more sunshine and joy and determination than the stories I read ever could have inspired, because real people are WAYYY more magical and incredible than fiction.
So I dove right in to the honor of becoming the storyteller... and never looked back :)

I am seriously honored to be considered as your tag-along.
Every single couple that allows me to document their day holds a special place in my heart, and I don't take this responsibility lightly. I want to know all about the two of you & your story, but I'll introduce myself first.

A Few of My Favorite Things
LIGHT, and all its reflections & refractions. I think it inspires a good amount of my love of photography!
~ that's just my baby dog ~ Aladin! He has the personality of Toothless the Dragon and he's my best freakin friend.
Charcuterie board snackin' & picnic setups. Something about them just really makes my foodie heart glow with joy, for real.
something you would never guess about me at first glance:
I have a motorcycle license and my own motorcycle. I love to ride whenever I can!
If I had to say which values define me, they'd be:
kindness, integrity, honesty, empathy, love, compassion, authenticity, & justice
I know it's weird, but I'm a stickler about
wanting my food at a restaurant to come out burn-my-tongue HOT. I'm a foodie.
I am absolutely, unreasonably obsessed with:
my puppy Aladin, national parks, sunsets, wildflowers, music, charcuterie boards, rainy days, & hole-in-the-wall places
a random fact about me:
I have a rare gene mutation that makes cilantro taste like soap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My priority is documenting the real, authentic you.
I work hard to make you comfortable enough that I can fall back and let the magic happen in front of me, undisturbed and candid and real. But, I also will not hesitate to speak up or step up and guide you when you need me!
we wanna hear more
Introverted, observant, with a spunky rebellious edge.
Imagine a strange mix of the fly-on-the-wall bookworm in the back of the class who's always observing, meets the tattooed & outspoken girl in the very front row of the civil rights protest. That's pretty close.
how this affects you
“Like wildflowers; You must allow yourself to grow in all the places people thought you never would.”
Your Experience Matters.
Because at the end of the day, what we all remember most clearly is how people made us feel. Before, during AND after your wedding day, you deserve to feel absolutely freakin' magical.

If you made it all the way down here, I think you deserve a reward for that...and I LOVE a good easter egg like in my fave Marvel movies. So why don't you go ahead and reach out when you're ready...and if you mention the word "infinity," I'll give you one hour free in your photography package ;)
