I’m here to help you freeze the
The anticipation before a special moment can feel like forever, but once you’re living it, that’s a whole other story. Exciting experiences that you’ve patiently (...or impatiently) waited for will come and go so quickly, and you’ll be left wondering how it’s over so soon.
It’s my goal to give you tangible keepsakes from your favorite days, so you can revisit every incredible feeling anytime you want.
I’m passionate about making you feel seen and supported every step of the way.
I’ve always been nurturing and compassionate, so when I moved to the United States, working as a trained doula felt like a natural fit. But when I became a mother of two, I became deeply invested in documenting every possible moment; I didn’t want to miss anything.
Now that I’ve transitioned into full-time photography, I’m more passionate than ever about documenting meaningful moments on camera. But what do I love even more? Ensuring you always feel comfortable and taken care of throughout your photo experience.

I crave adventure—I’ve even been skydiving and loved every second
I’m a former doula with a deep passion for all things family
