I’ve been in the wedding industry since I was nine. I’ve seen rainy days, missing flowers, wardrobe mishaps—you name it. But I thrive in that kind of wedding-day chaos.

I’m a detail-loving Enneagram 1, coffee drinker, and small-farm mama who genuinely enjoys keeping things calm and running smoothly—at least on wedding days. My own life? Well, that’s a little more “chaotic flow” than timeline perfection.

I’ll help you stay grounded, make smart pivots, and still get the photos that feel like you. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to make your day smoother, easier, and actually enjoyable.
