Life should be lived with a spirit of adventure, loads of good conversation, + a heart ready to celebrate others. Love your lover. Make love under the stars. Let your heart feel risk. Keep it wild. Let spontaneity lead, keep things fresh, and say “I love you” a million times a day. Share a meal + some rouge with your tribe. Be generous! Generous with your words, your creativity, and your love. Most importantly, have faith and love God with all your heart, mind, and soul.

Of wildflowers. Free-spirited, resilient, growing freely without human intervention. That’s me. I don’t want to be shaped by the flaws of man, but by the hands of God. It’s been a wild few years for me and if anything, it’s shown me that life doesn’t go as planned, but there’s beauty in all of it. In the good + the bad. The ups + the downs. The mundane. The routine. The busy. The everyday stuff! And it should be celebrated!
No two stories are the same. Each couple is unique and my heart is to tell your story, beautifully + honestly. Let’s make your wildest dreams, tangible memories.
A good life, a successful life, is one where I can LOVE the people around me wholeheartedly. I want that freedom of time. Where I can sit and get drawn into a conversation for endless hours with a stranger or an old friend. I want the freedom to play with my kids. Make messes. Dance in the rain. Run on the beach. Chasing the waves. We were born to MOVE + FEEL. And those moments are so fleeting. I want to remember them. I want to capture those memories for you to hold onto for a lifetime. Movement/Life is something I strive for in my photography. It’s easy to capture something still/dead. But to capture movement… emotion.. a feeling! That’s what I want. That's what matters to me.
Fun Facts
About Me
I've got two babes, Elle + Theo. They're my whole world. I stumbled into the world of photography because of Elle. (Poor kid. She has no choice, but to grow up + be a model now. lol) They're the reason I do what I do. They're my legacy. My memories. Being their mom is the most incredible, life-giving thing. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else.
Tess Guinery is my girl!! I love her heart + her mind + her creativity. If you're looking for some inspiration-- Go check her out! She's a talented artist, designer, writer, you name it.
Elle May Leckenby is a favorite lately! Her photographs bring you back into another time. I'm constantly inspired by her work + the emotion evoked in her imagery.
Laurken Kendall -- She's a bada$$ + I love her vulnerability in her work + in her life. If I could take anything from her, it's to be more honest in all that you do.
Iced Chai Tea Lattes, Chocolate chip cookies, brownie batter, and pizza are LIFE.
Favorite City -- Dublin. I go back and remember sitting outside with the brisk air all bundled up. Raindrops falling. Eating a bowl of soup. And later sitting in a pub, listening to music, people watching. That city gives you this magical feeling of being alive.
Favorite movie-- 1987 -- Overboard. Kurt Russell + Goldie Hawn are my fave.
TV Shows -- Friends (obviously.), The Office, and New Girl!
Nice weather calls for evenings spent outside with the kids skateboarding, having picnics, and painting. In the summer, days are spent at the lake! Wakeboarding, surfing, swimming, you name it! In the Fall + Winter, traveling takes precedence. I love traveling... so do my kids! Theo asks to go on an airplane every week. If I could give him that luxury-- I would. Being in new places + sharing new experiences with loved ones inspires me + drives my creativity to the next level.
