About

I’m a Chicago-based wedding photographer working across both film and digital mediums. With a background in design and an affinity for storytelling, I create imagery that feels refined, emotive, and deeply personal. Inspired by fashion, film, travel, and human connection, I’m drawn to atmosphere just as much as aesthetics: the energy of a room, quiet gestures, meaningful details, and the moments that become more treasured with time.

My approach balances observation with gentle direction, allowing space for natural connection while creating imagery that feels elevated yet emotionally grounded. Photographing weddings has deepened my compassion and understanding of others in ways I never expected... shaping not only the way I photograph, but the way I move through the world as a friend, partner, and person.

I wholeheartedly believe in the power of love, the beauty of self-expression, and the strength of community.

Over the years, photography has become more than a passion; it’s how I connect, how I see, how I tell stories. It’s a core part of who I am. As someone who leans introverted, words sometimes fail me… and photography fills in the silence.

I photograph the way I live: with tenderness, expression, and an adoration for everyday beauty. I’m drawn to meaningful moments lived fully — with intention and soul. I feel deeply, and I’m not afraid to laugh until I’m in tears, cry when something moves me, or love with my whole heart. Life is too short to hold back.

Travel continually shapes my perspective, expanding the way I see and document the world. I find inspiration in music, film, fashion, language, and the people I hold close. Above all, the love I share with my partner and best friend fuels so much of my creative work. I’m drawn to those who find poetry in the everyday, care deeply for their people, and express themselves fully.

I also know my approach isn’t for everyone, and I respect that. If you’re looking for picture-perfect smiles, trends over authenticity, or photography as just another task to check off, we may not be the right fit. My couples value photography not just for how it looks, but for how it feels. They are kind, intentional, and expressive - drawn to meaning over aesthetics, and unafraid to fully feel their day. If you’re nodding along, feeling seen in these words, there’s a good chance we’re meant to create something beautiful together.

A note on my approach...

I love music & shows - my husband and i go to Lolla every year!

Vivian (pictured), Neji, and Chicharrón are my whole world.

pr, through my husband’s roots, has become a home away from home

I have an immense love for music, dinner parties, design, traveling to new places, nature, and - more than anything - my family, friends, and community. Outside of serving my couples, you’ll likely find me haunting my favorite restaurants ordering the same thing every time, at a concert, or baking something sweet (with a video essay playing in the background, of course). I love curating playlists for my friends, cozying up for movie nights with my husband + cats, swimming in the ocean whenever I get the chance, and living life to the fullest in the company of the people I love.
