Dallas and Chicago Wedding Photographer

Inspired by that which is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy

I am a wedding photographer with a heart for service, encouragement, and the people in front of my camera. I care immensely about creating excellent photographs for you. (I mean, that's why you hired me, and I will deliver the photos of your dreams to you.) But most importantly, I care deeply about you and your wedding, striving to get to know you, make you feel heard and cared for, look and feel your best, and create an atmosphere of peace, joy, excitement, encouragement on your wedding day.

I have been a photographer for 11 years and shooting weddings since 2017; it is truly my dream job. I work with and celebrate the most wonderful couples, hold their memories close to my heart, and look forward to their weddings with excitement.

My favorite moments of the day are the unscripted, in-between moments: your mother watching your first dance, your bridal party attacking you with hugs after the ceremony, the spontaneous dance parties. Working with couples who love life, love their people, and desire meaningful photos of a sacred day of their lives is my jam.

As we look forward to the greater reality to which weddings point to (that is, the marriage celebration of Christ to his Church, which is to come), my job uniquely points to eternity.

I'm so excited to meet you!

A lover of the outdoors

Outside is my favorite place to be, whether it's for a long hiking trip, skiing out west, or rollerblading around my city.

I love styling my home

My home looks a lot like my website: I have a pink Anthro couch and bookshelves chock full of literature that I love. Styling the space I live in has been a fun, fulfilling ongoing project.

I had an 18 year old dog

My Bichon Frise, Daffodil, lived to be 18 years old. We grew up together and she was my pride and joy!

New Year's Resolution

My goal has been to pet a thousand dogs before the end of the year. A document in the notes app keeps track of the name and breed of each dog I have pet so far.

Harry Styles (we've made eye contact 7 times), Ben Rector, Taylor Swift, Indelible Grace, Shane & Shane, The Office (Dwight's Speech is the best episode), The Office Ladies Podcast, Ghostrunners Podcast, rom coms from the 90s/early 2000's (the true golden age of cinema), and Alfred Hitchcock movies.

Niche holiday

My favorite holiday is, by far, Reformation Day. It is so fun! A Mighty Fortress hits different in October.

Excellent photos are not at the expense of time with your loved ones or the enjoyment of your wedding day. Your day will not be "all about photos," and portrait time will be a fun and special time you get to spend together as a couple. You will feel encouraged, confident, and at peace.

Contribute to the joy of your wedding day

Beyond the photos

I am very in tune to guiding you into the most flattering photos possible, without you feeling awkward, forced, or unnatural. I want to look good and like myself in photos and know the same is true of you.

Guided posing & candid moments

Beyond the photos

I know when to be a fly on the wall and am in tune to little moments unfolding and my galleries are full of raw, unmanufactured joy and emotion. Attention to detail is important to me as well.

Attention to raw, unmanufactured moments

Beyond the photos

I will share from my wealth of knowledge regarding locations, helping you know how many hours of coverage you need, how to best use that time, and recommending excellent vendors to you. I seek to provide you with an organized, stress relieving experience.

Timeline, location & vendor guidance

Beyond the photos

My editing style is timeless and true to color. I hand edit every photo with care and attention to detail.

Timeless, hand-edited photos

Beyond the photos

I deliver 50+ photos to you within 48 hours. Yes, that's right! I want you to enjoy your photos and relive your wedding right away as you await the final gallery.

Fast previews of your wedding photos

Beyond the photos

When the extent and depth of Jesus’ passion for you fully draws on your heart, it will generate passion for the work he has uniquely called you to do in the world. When you realize what he has done to rescue you, your pride and envy begin to disappear because you don’t need to get your self worth from being richer, cooler, more powerful, or more comfortable... You are adopted into God’s family, so you already have your affirmation. You are already justified in God’s sight, so you have nothing to prove.

Tim Keller, Every Good Endeavor
