I’m a family and wedding photographer based in Polo, Illinois — but I’ll happily travel wherever your story takes me!
Photography is more than just pretty pictures. It’s about making you feel comfortable, capturing genuine moments, and delivering timeless galleries you’ll treasure forever.
I love capturing the kind of moments that feel true to you — from the calm to the chaos and everything in between. If you’re looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend, I’d love to capture whatever season you’re in!

hello
let's chat
I’m a big fan of dogs — especially when they show up for photo sessions or weddings! My own pup, Kinnick, is the sweetest sidekick. He’s usually curled up next to me while I edit or riding shotgun on errand runs.

Whether I’m editing, getting ready, or driving to a wedding, there’s almost always a podcast playing in the background. Current favorites? Armchair Expert and Giggly Squad — on repeat.

Caffeine definitely fuels the magic around here! My go-to? Most days, you’ll find me cozied up in a local coffee shop, headphones in, editing away and sipping on an iced oatmilk latte.

Warm weather, ocean air, and salty hair — that’s my kind of happy place. I don’t have one favorite destination, but if there’s sunshine and salt water, I’m in. And yes — I absolutely travel for weddings!

Ice cream is a love language, and mine says "Cookie Dough Blizzard from DQ” or “Freddy’s Vanilla Shake, please.”
