SCHOOLING & EXPERIENCE

Photography has been my passion since I was 15, leading me to earn a Bachelor's in Fine Art Photography with a minor in Business & Communications from Western Michigan University. This education fueled my love for historical processes and film photography and opened doors to chase my dreams!

Over the years, I’ve worked alongside incredible wedding photographers, capturing hundreds of weddings and learning something new with each one. These experiences, along with my own journey as a bride in 2018, have helped me master my craft and create what I believe to by a pretty kick-butt experience for my couples and clients!

Beyond running my portrait photography business, I mentor Alongside running my photography business, I mentor other photographers, helping them grow their skills and businesses. I also host workshops to foster creativity, community, and learning, which I’m especially passionate about here in Alaska!

LIFE IN ALASKA

My husband, Justin, and I, along with our pup Peanut, love exploring new places and recharging in nature. Whether hiking, biking, camping, or enjoying craft beer and games at a local brewery, we embrace all the adventures Alaska has to offer!

We tied the knot in July 2018 in Alaska, surrounded by loved ones and being a bride gave me invaluable insight and creativity that I pour back into my business. We’re both passionate about adventure and photography, taking annual international trips to hike and explore stunning landscapes—some of which have inspired clients’ honeymoon itineraries I’ve shared on my blog.

Overall, my heart is to glorify God with the gifts He has blessed me with and to serve others through my work. I would love to work with you, tell your story, and adventure together in Alaska or around the world!
