My family is full of creatives. My mom’s a photographer and painter, my sister is a wedding planner and, well, my dad is a condo lawyer so he is his own type of creative. Anyway, creativity and being an entrepreneur is in my blood!
I've always been drawn to photography as a medium. I love the idea of stopping time with my lens and then giving others the opportunity to re-live the moment over and over - especially for moments as important as your wedding or being engaged!
My clients are people who care deeply about the details of their wedding but when they day comes, they are present, go with the flow and are having an absolute blast! They are so excited to get on the dance floor and party with their people but they also cannot wait to have a quiet moment alone as newly weds.

As a an ESFP, I'm a HUGE people person! I love to meet all my clients before the big day by shooting their engagement photos or just meeting up for coffee so we can get to know each other even better. Most of my clients feel like they have just gained another friend!
values
People centric
I was (and still am) the friend who is always taking photos of everything all of the time! Growing up, my mom was a photographer and my sister and I were her subjects. When I was in high school, I enrolled in Photography 101 and was absolutely hooked! During college I was THE go to girl for everyone's Instagram photos and when I graduated and started in the advertising field I was always trying to find ways to incorporate photography into my role.
While working in advertising, I would help my sister (the owner of Timeless Event Planning) with her weddings on the weekend. Again, I was hooked! After 6 years of working by her side on her team, I switched over to wedding photography!
