my story
Taking pictures is in my blood. I had two grandmothers that took excessive amounts of photos with the boxes, film, and books to prove it. With them gone, it's comforting to look back at the hundreds and hundreds of photos and see that their stories are forever etched as a tangible artifact. That's what I serve to all my clients - photos that memorialize small pieces of life for generations to come.
I’ve been a photographer for eight years and photographing weddings for seven! I love all photography and haven’t limited myself to just one niche - I want to do all of it, all the time. From creative portraits to engagement sessions and everything in between, I’ll say yes.
I’m both formally and self-taught, graduating from SEMO with a B.S. in Commercial Photography. I currently reside in St. Louis and aim to serve photography services to both the greater St. Louis and Southeast Missouri area.
When I’m not working, you can find me thrifting the St. Louis and SEMO area to curate vintage jewelry for my Etsy store! I'm a hobbyist at heart so I've done just about every hobby you can find at Michael's and beyond. My current fixations are crocheting, sewing and reselling.
FAQ
How do you photograph weddings?
I shoot weddings digitally with the added option to shoot some film. I have two cameras and multiple lenses that I will use to capture your day, along with multiple batteries and many cards to store your wonderful photos. I occasionally shoot with a second shooter but that is ultimately up to you!
where are you based? do you travel?
I'm based in St. Louis with roots in Cape Girardeau, MO. Invite me to shoot your wedding in Phoenix, New Orleans, Raleigh...I want to shoot all over the country!
What is included in your packages?
My involvement in your day is much more than just "taking pictures". I will be your messenger, confidant, hair fixer, wardrobe assistant, timeline maker, liaison, problem solver... there are lots of little things that can go into your day that you might not think of 0 and I'm prepared for all of them. I always have bobby pins, tissues, contact solution, and snacks. We'll be spending a lot of time together and I promise to make you feel comfortable through it all.
how are your packages priced?
My wedding packages start at $3000. All packages include a complimentary engagement session. I also have a la carte options that can be added on.
