I am a documentary photographer based in my home of West Virginia. I am an observer by heart and lover of light. I believe there is so much beauty in our shared human experiences. When we are just with our families, welcoming a new baby, or celebrating at a wedding-our shared time together is deeply meaningful. I believe in being fully present to the story as it naturally unfolds with my clients. I want you to be yourself and feel into the moment, whatever it brings—tearful hugs, deep laughter, the calmness before walking down the aisle, or the sudden burst of energy as the kids run through the venue for cookies. It’s all welcome.

My partner Clay and I have two daughters, Luella & Mae. We enjoy cooking, fermenting & eating delicious foods, growing food in our family high tunnels, playing music, riding bikes and dancing. Our family has a wellness brand called Headwaters Hemp. I practice yoga and love moving my body. Over the past year, the girls and I have started jiu jitsu and I don’t think we are turning back, we love it!
