Photographs are powerful- they hold the rare ability to take you back to exact moments in time and evoke emotions from the most joyous points of our lives. Every photograph is its own little love note to the subjects.

QUICK FACTS
get to know me
1.
My belief is that every person should be framed in the moments they’ve felt the most loved and cared for, and that every couple deserves a day that's hand tailored to them.
And that means that I only take weddings where the couple and I truly connect to each other.
You won't find me photographing 45 weddings a year with rushed processing and cookie-cutter poses.
I'm here to create a bond with you and capture YOUR unique story.
Without connection, there's no magic
2.
As a proud LGBTQ+ community member and a female-owned business, it is so important to me to ensure all of my clients, regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, or any other factors are safe, respected, and valued as they are. No matter if they're the couple, a member of the wedding party, or chosen family.
We stand firmly in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, affirming gender identity care, equal and affordable healthcare, and the rights for all to be who they are. I do my best to ensure any & every other creative I suggest also embraces inclusivity.
Inclusivity matters here.
Not just in June.
3.
And more than for the flatlays.
It's the timeline that let's you enjoy the parts of your wedding as more than a bride- but also as a guest to the greatest party ever thrown.
It's the eyes we have for the smallest of things- a twisted necklace, a fallen flower, an uneven pocket square.
It's the colors and tones in the edits, processed for consistency and film-like beauty.
I am extremely detail oriented
MY PHILOSOPHY
THE JOURNEY
2014
Living for the hope of it all
Throughout college, I was laser focused on one thing- landing a studio role with vintage fashion website ModCloth.
In 2014 I started that career. I loaded up my grandmother's old 2000 Taurus and moved to Pittsburgh to follow that dream! I lived in my friends' literal closet, but every minute was worth it. I started as a creative retoucher, and then moved into their Associate Studio Photographer role creating the guides for all shoes, home, and accessories categories.
2017
1, 2, 3- LGB
I loved everything I was creating, but I craved the joy and human connection of working with couples and their stories.
I apprenticed under the photographers I admired most, forming the most special bonds and witnessing weddings beyond my wildest dreams. I knew I had to dedicate myself to telling love-stories and creating art from the human experience.
2018-2021
They say I hustled, put in the work
Oh 2020, the things you brought us. Yes, the obvious- COVID-19 (ask me about the time I ran a full commercial studio out of a one-bedroom apartment). But also countless opportunities. These were my major years of studying YOU- the ATP couple. The ones who love with their whole hearts, value the small details, and invest in themselves & their relationship. And a casual thing- my business allowed us to buy (and DIY renovate) our first home.
2024 +
Big reputation, and you heard about me
AKA, the best years so far.
This was my year of self-challenges. Flying to Texas, being published in print magazines, building brand new website, becoming a Burgh Brides Approved Photography Vendor, and traveling to an incredible luxury workshop in France... and of course, working with the sweetest, dreamiest couples for 2024-25, the busiest, best year yet!
my first pittsburgh wedding! Phipps conservatory, just still obsessed with these mixed pattern bridesmaids dresses.
if you're not a little scared, you're not growing. 2023 has been a year of trying new things- like adding 35mm film to engagement sessions and wedding days!
the best part about home ownership? Finally fulfilling my dream of fostering kittens. this is benjamin, our third foster baby.
