THE FACT THAT OUT OF ALL THE PLACES IN THE WORLD, AND ALL THE THINGS YOU COULD BE DOING RIGHT NOW, BUT HERE YOU ARE- IN MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE WORLD, LOOKING AT MY WORK... I'M TRULY HONORED. CHOOSING A PHOTOGRAPHER IS HARD... REALLY HARD. BUT YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU SEE IT. YOU WILL KNOW ONCE YOU CONNECT. YOU WILL FEEL EXCITED, INSPIRED, COMFORTED, AND LIKE A WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM YOUR SHOULDERS.

MOMENTS

Wedding Day

-THE LOOK ON YOUR MOMS FACE WHEN SHE TAKES A STEP BACK, HOLDING BACK THE TEARS, IN UTTER  DISBELIEF THAT HER BABY IS ABOUT TO GET MARRIED
-THE RAW EXCHANGE OF VOWS... THE PURE EMOTION, EXCHANGING THE LOVE, HOPES, AND DREAMS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR NEW FUTURE TOGETHER.
-SEEING YOUR DAD LEAN OVER AND GENTLY SQUEEZE YOUR MOMS HAND AS THEY WATCH YOU SAY I DO, DABBING TEARS OF JOY FROM THEIR CHEEKS
-SEEING MOMS FIX THE COLLAR OF HER BABY BOY, EYES GLEAMING, TO MAKE SURE HE LOOKS HIS BEST BEFORE HE WALKS DOWN THE AISLE.
-WATCHING GENERATIONAL JOY AS GRANDPARENTS TRY TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR GRANDKIDS ON THE DANCE FLOOR
-LISTENING TO THE HEARTFELT AND HUMOROUS SIBLING TOASTS THAT GIVE EVERYONE INSIGHT INTO WHAT YOU WERE LIKE GROWING UP AS A CHILD
-HEARING YOU GOOFILY CALL EACH OTHER "HUSBAND" OR "WIFE" FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING COUPLES PORTRAITS WHILE YOU'RE RIDING THE POST CEREMONY HIGH
-SEEING YOUR FAMILIES MESH. NEW RELATIONSHIPS FORM. NEW FOODS AND CULTURES COMBINED.. IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO WITNESS.

THIS IS A SKILL THAT CAN'T BE TAUGHT. IT COMES FROM THE HEART. FROM BEING AN EMPATH. FROM LOVING PEOPLE. WHOLEHEARTEDLY LOVING FAMILY, AND UNDERSTANDING THIS DAY IS MORE THAN JUST PRETTY PICTURES. IT'S YOUR STORY. THESE ARE YOUR MEMORIES... AND I WOULD BE SO HONORED TO CAPTURE THEM


I currently live in Houston, Texas, but Manhattan is my happy place. My fiancé is a New Yorker and we lived there for 6 years together! I travel to New York often, serving clients wherever love takes me.
I'm a mom, wife, cat mom, and educator. I obtained my Bachelors from ULL- (Laissez Bon Temps Rouler!) and pursued my Masters in Education at LIU in New York. I've always had a passion for helping others, creating, and connecting! 
I love charcuterie & champagne, or tacos & tequila! I believe this shows up in my photography style- laidback luxury!
I love an intimate micro-wedding/elopement, but also LOVE a chic black tie event, and can seamlessly adapt to either.
