About Me
I'm a true-to-color photographer, known for capturing the essence of a scene with vibrant authenticity. My passion lies in freezing real emotions in their purest form, alongside the stunning details that often go unnoticed. Every click fuels my desire to tell stories through the lens – stories that make you laugh, cry, and feel all the feels. With a photography degree from Madison College under my belt and over 10 years of capturing moments, it's only deepened my love for this craft.
Photography runs in the family – my mom's an incredible wedding photographer! I learned the ropes by assisting her, and sometimes we even reunite as the "Mother-Daughter Team" for big weddings.
When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me living life's adventures with my sidekick in fur, Luna. We're regulars at thrift stores in Madison, and I'm known as "Luna's mom" or "the overly dressed girl with the white fluffy dog!" Whether it's exploring charming streets or bustling cityscapes, Luna and I are always on the lookout for new experiences and hidden gems to capture through the lens.
Turning moments into memories that shine.
Based in Southern Wisconsin capturing stories all around!
