my story


I was born and raised in Idaho.

I bought my cute bungalow on the Boise Bench with a blue door in 2015. I start my mornings drinking coffee at Neckar and hiking with my dog, Carol, in the foothills.

I’m an optimistic, overly excited, ENFJ, and energetic Slytherin.

Here’s the funny thing: I never planned on being a photographer. I got my biology & english degrees from the University of Montana, but I always loved documenting my travels and my life. Eventually I graduated college and realized my summer photography gigs photographing weddings was what made me happiest, so I moved to Boise, Idaho without a plan and started my business here. I’ve been photographing weddings for 10 years!

Meeting new people is my passion & I became a wedding photographer when I realized my dream job was hanging out with emotional strangers.

If you and I might be on opposing teams at Harry Potter pub trivia, I might be your wedding photographer. 

If you want a photographer who will dance with you to Taylor Swift on your wedding day, I might be your wedding photographer. 

I am most excited about working with people who want to get married somewhere beautiful and throw a rad party with their friends & family. I believe weddings should be all about making the day feel as you as it possibly can. I love that I get to work with real people with all different backgrounds and stories. If you’re a little nervous about getting your picture taken or like you have to look like a model, don’t be. I’m just a dork with huge glasses who wants to make you look like a rockstar.

I love when people tell me they're awkward. Because I know I'm about to take the best photo they've ever seen of themselves.

Being a photographer for over ten years, I can truly say that the best part of my job is that I've made lifelong friends through sharing so many new experiences around the world together. Having your photo taken is a vulnerable, raw experience that bonds us long after the camera is put away. It's the best gift when couples come back years later and tell me their photos can take them instantly back to how they felt when we were together- climbing glaciers in Alaska, watching the sunrise in the Sawtooths, or eating pizza at their favorite neighborhood pub.

I'm happy near water, in a cool cabin, and with pizza in my hands.
