A little about me...

When it comes to my art, emotions are my inspiration. And when I capture a wedding in pictures, I’m inspired by every single moment. The drama and power of photography has captivated me all my life. From the first moment I explored Portland’s monthly gallery exhibits to the first time I developed prints myself, I knew my future was carving its space: I would be a professional photographer.


In 2007, I began shooting weddings. The excitement and energy of each event is intoxicating—and when I know I’ve captured the emotion of the moment, there’s no better feeling in the world. To get to that point, I start my journey with the bride and groom before I even pick up the camera. I’m inquisitive by nature, and understanding the details, design and style of a couple’s wedding can transform the tone of my images from beautiful to breathtaking. 


I shoot a full range of photos, but “portraits” hold a special place in my heart. Portraits are intensely personal and can be incredibly rewarding for a photographer. When a mother looks at a portrait of her daughter and says “oh, that’s so her” with the slightest smile on her face, I know I’ve given them something special. When I shoot portraits of family and guests, I hope that they’ll feel amazing when they see themselves in print. To deliver such emotion is a gift for me, and if I’m doing my job right, it’s a gift to my clients, as well. 


What I want for my clients is to bring every moment to life, to shape the story of their special day through my lens. I hope I can do exactly that for you.

New England love – personal photos

I’ve missed fall seven years in a row now. Don’t get me wrong; I love the weather this time of year. It’s when most of the country starts to freeze while we inevitably get a heat wave on Thanksgiving. Its never too fun to have the oven on all day when it’s 90...

Learning to use a Holga

As I wrote the title of this post, I realized its sounds a bit weird. One of my photographer friends said the other day, a holga’s a holga, there isn’t much to learn. For those of you who’ve never seen one, theres only a few settings on the camera: far away & close...

My view in Mexico

It’s been a busy couple of weeks! I had a blast both at Karla and Jose’s wedding in Cancun and visiting friends and family in Portland. We stayed at the Hilton in Cancun and this was our view…nice, huh? Ah, I miss it. BTW our hotel was pretty inexpensive because it was “off-season” meaning it...
