Spaces Enjoyed. Sentiments Cherished.
NORTHWEST + CENTRAL ARK
For years to come - I'm a documentarian by nature. I firmly believe that our memories do not only bind us to the past, but give us an appreciation for former things that can breed present gratitude and future hope. When adoration is at its height, its our memories that reinforce it. When hurt and tears mark a season, it is our memories that are the glue, carrying us through, and reminding us of our best choices even during some of our worst ones. It's your wedding photos that you drag out on your 10th, 20th, and 30th anniversaries, exclaiming "look how far we've made it". The seemingly mundane is what makes up the majority of our lives, but its how we choose to reflect on our milestones that dictate many of those tiny decisions.
For those that argue that wedding photos are inessential, I hope there minds are sharp, because whether in joy or in grief, I'm quite certain that we will all one day long to sensuously relive the days of our lives most saturated in love and sentiment.
The Keepsake Box
A little collection of the moments I've been lucky enough to capture.
Serving Northwest + Central Ark + Ozark Mountain Region
A wedding day is not about bottling up scenes just to look back on after all is set and done. It has the tendency to move quick, but nonetheless, I believe it's beckoning us to slow down and relish in every detail. Home is not home because of a fancy blueprint. It's home because of the laughters, the stains, the tears, and the affections that it harbored. I don't want the imagery to be merely orchestrated, then one day admired. My intention is to create spaces where genuine affections are felt just as intensely as they would be in the most candid of moments.

Inquire!
Whether ready to book or just a little curious, connecting with you, answering your questions, and engaging to see if we’re a fit is the most important part of the process! That being said, I’d love to hear from you and gather just a few details! Within a maximum of 48 hours, you’ll hear from me! I’m always eager to get the conversation rolling! From there, if you’re confident, I can go ahead and secure your spot or we can utilize our first phone call as a preliminary to actually booking. I want all my clients to have no hesitation that they’re making the right choice and to feel invested in from the very start!
Starting the Conversation
Once I reach back out, whether booked or not, we can devise a time to call (or meet if you’re local to my area or just really interested in a face-to-face conversation). This is an open invitation to ask any and all questions and a means for me to create a custom package that fits your every need, hope, and priority each step of the way. My packages are all fair and standard across the board, but are also tailored to your specific vision. Rather than sending you a ticket with so many add-ons that it looks like a receipt from the grocery store, I thoughtfully curate a flat-rate that encompasses everything that is essential to your perfect wedding photography experience.
The Pitch
After the call, a client portal will be created with all the details you’ve shared, a contract will be drawn up, and an invoice will be sent. From there, it’ll be up to you to take the leap. This is a big decision and I want you to have all the resources to make it with ease!
Preparation
Following booking, I’m available to you for any questions, concerns, or planning needs. I love to be present throughout the planning process. Whatever you want me to be a part of, I also want to be a part of. I’m always happy to hope on a call, discuss timeline, and do any brain work ahead of time to ensure that there’s room for you to exhale on your wedding day.
The Day
The day you never thought would come will finally arrive and my hope is that you will get to reap the fruit of all the time we’ve spent in communication and consideration leading up to it. It’s time for you to indulge in the beautiful day you’ve prepared and for me to quietly capture it, stepping in only when you need direction, a tissue for tears, or a listening ear when the butterflies threaten to turn to nerves.
Delivery
When the lights go down and the doors are closed, our collaboration won’t end there! Within 3-4 days, you can expect a sneak peek to hit your inbox so that you can relive some of the highlights right off the bat. From there, you can expect a final gallery within 4-8 weeks. I hope you not only get to remember your day fondly through the photos, but that you can genuinely relish the process they demanded.
A Documentation of Your Story
Photographer. Wife. Sentimentholic. Creature of habit. Chatty introvert. Minimalist at heart. Early bird. A Sipper. A Stroller. A sucker for a worn-out couch cushion and a home-cooked meal.
I'm sure it's no secret by now that I have pretty intense admiration for home and the philosophy that we dwell most where we love and where we are loved. To me, there is no greater feeling than walking in my front doors after even after just a night away. Even though I love my home, my love story, and my mundane moments like no other, there is something sacred about stepping out of my safe spaces and into someone else's. There is something so unique and yet so universal about each marriage. Your relationship is true to you in a way that it is to no one else. There will never be another you and your spouse. I love marriage and I love to be a witness to what can only be found exactly where you and your significant other stand. It is entirely authentic to you, completely original, and one of a kind. Every wedding day I am a part of is another phenomenon. With each, I'm more astonished by the power of devotion and kinship.
