I am so excited that you are interested in choosing us to document your wedding! I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
I have been a professional photographer since 2009, located in Lehigh Valley, PA. Growing up, I have always had a passion for the arts; I loved to draw and do crafts! I loved taking photos with my grandfather's old Minolta. In high school, I discovered graphic design! I went to college, got my degree in graphic design, and continued on my path with photography and building a portfolio that I am very proud of. I always have some form of a camera in my hand! My approach is to capture the raw and intimate moments, the "in-between moments," the photos you don't notice I have taken! My goal isn't just to have clients but to build lasting friendships!

Date Booked
Make it official
Sessions can take place anywhere from immediately following a proposal to just a few days before the wedding. We’ve found that there isn’t a “good” or “bad” time to take your photos.
Engagement Session
We check in about two months before the wedding to start chatting about timeline specifics, special details, family formal shot lists, special traditions and anything else we should know about your big day.
Wedding Day Prep
It's finally here! The day the two of you say "I Do" and dance the night away surrounded by your family and friends. Just know we're excited to celebrate and capture your wedding day. It's going to be awesome
The Big Day
You can expect your photos to be delivered via an online gallery within about 4 weeks of your wedding. At that time, we'll also send over details about preserving your images through prints and albums.
They're Here!

Unless you’re a model, being photographed probably feels a little awkward. We do this for a living and we still always feel a little out of place when we have our photos taken every year.
I am big fans of engagement sessions for a few reasons. First, they allow you to get comfortable in front of the camera. It takes time for most couples to warm up to being photographed and understand how we pose. Timelines can be pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we have for portraits - which is why we’ve found that wedding day portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement sessions ahead of time.
You can showcase your personalities in a more casual setting that is significant to the two of you While they’re great for save-the-dates, we’ve taken engagement photos anywhere from 18 months in advance to a few days before the wedding.
There is a lot to think about when it comes to planning a session and since I get asked the same things over and over again, we thought it would be the most beneficial if we put together a guide that walks you through everything you need to know.
I'll cover what to wear, whether to bring pets & how to manage them, location ideas and more!
All of our collections include a complimentary session.
Engagement Sessions
Celebrating a season
Bridal session whether you choose to do it at the wedding location itself, a beautiful wooded area or perhaps something a little more out of the box like a downtown area.
The bridal session can be completely tailored to your preferences and personal style.Some brides choose to dry clean their dress after the bridal session, but I am
I am always mindful to keep it from getting dirty as much as possible during the session. Bringing a white sheet to stand on and hide under the train will usually do the trick to minimize dirt! And I always bring an assistant to help with the dress.
The 16x20 bridal portrait framed that is included can showcased at the reception and later hung in the mother of the bride’s home.
Bridal Sessions
We’re big believers that images aren’t meant to solely exist in a digital space. One day, most likely, Instagram will be gone, your phone will be replaced and images that you can physically hold in your hand will be the best way to remember those precious moments we captured.
One of the best ways to make your wedding memories last is by ordering an album. These high quality professionally designed albums come in a variety of linen & leather colors. These aren’t the same albums your parents' wedding photos came in. They’re modern, lay perfectly flat and look incredible on a coffee table.
Digital downloads of the edited wedding images are included in every package, but for the bride who would rather not DIY her wedding album herself I offer beautiful leather bound books.
You can choose your favorite 10 images and leave the rest up to me to add and design to tell the story of your wedding day or you can choose your favorite 50-60 images and I will use only your selections to create the design. I keep the design classic and timeless.
Handcrafted Albums
