I love plants, one of my many hobbies is tending to my hundreds of indoor house plants and outdoor produce & flower gardens too!
I was born and raised in Traverse City, Michigan. I have always been a photographer at heart, my whole life I have always been obsessed with capturing memories. Growing up in such a gorgeous region really grew my interest in taking photos of nature and sunsets. My inspiration sparked from my mom's hobby with her canon camera when I was a child. I picked up her camera around the age of 10 and started to practice with it. Being self-taught meant learning settings through trial and error while practicing with friends, this was a part of the learning process that helped shape me into the photographer I am today. My outgoing personality has allowed me to make new friendships with my clients and continue to grow my business.
In regards to professional photography I have gained 2.5 years experience as the former intern photographer at Saginaw Valley State University. Currently, I contract with downtown TC for the photo marketing of my hometown. I love what I do because it has allowed me to meet new people, capture memories of others, and also help other small businesses succeed. These experiences were helpful to me for working large events, and working in all different lighting scenarios.

I love traveling, this sparked from my studied abroad where I was living 2x in Spain during high school, since then I have travelled to 12 countries and territories.
Along with my passion for photography, I graduated in Dec 2022 with my Bachelors in Business Administration in Marketing with a minor in Advanced Spanish at Saginaw Valley State University and went fully self employed within 1 year of graduating.
Are you wondering where my passion started? It is very important to know who you are working with and why I may be the right fit for taking photos of you!

Lot's of my free time is spent taking my blue heeler doggy Maple girl for walks, or jumping in the pool. She's full of energy and she loves water!

Since March 2023 I have continued furthering my professional development by contracting with Downtown Traverse City as their photographer for marketing tourism and community of hometown.
I am a big fan of coffee (specifically carmel lattes) and definitely a good chai tea daily, this stemmed from my first job, which was at a coffee shop! I can often be found editing sessions in coffee shops :)
