Born and raised in Upstate, New York - I always said growing up that I'd stick around my small town one way or another. And here I am, with my roots planted deep.
On 8.1.2020 - I married my best friend, Austin, right smack in the middle of a world shut down. Saying 'peace-out' to traditions, we decided to get married the best way we knew how - on top of a mountain in the Adirondacks. He's been my saving grace (in so many ways) and my biggest supporter through this beautiful journey called life. Then there's our daughter - she's such a beautiful, kind-hearted and fearless child which is amazing and scary all at the same time! Not only has she given me the title as 'MAMA' but she's really helped me find myself in more ways than one. ❤️
You might be sitting there wondering how this journey to becoming a photographer even started and why I decided to pick up a camera in the first place.
It all started in 2019 - after having a stroke at 24 yrs old, I knew I needed to make some changes in my life. Working 60+ hour weeks as an EMT and going to school for Paramedics just wasn't cutting it anymore. I was being called to do more / be more (crazy, right?). At the time, the only thing helping me remember names, faces + memories were the photos on my phone. It was during that time when I knew I wanted to freeze moments. I wanted to make time stand still. I wanted to capture memories. So I picked up a camera and never looked back. After my daughter was born in 2021, my love for storytelling only grew stronger.
When I'm not working, or spending time with family, you can find me remodeling and decorating our 1970s farmhouse, hanging out in an oversized hoodie + leggings, riding horses and let's be real ... sleeping. Ya girl loves to sleep! 🙌🏻
I'll admit it - I'm a SUCKER for a good adventure! Seriously, is there anything else better then exploring a new place? Especially when it comes with documenting some awesome memories in a beautiful, breathtaking location. You might be planning an epic party on the beach, or a relaxed vow exchange on top of a mountain, maybe you just want a lifestyle session in a downtown city - whatever it may be, I'm SO THERE!
The locations listed below are a few on my bucket list - if you're someone wanting photos in these places, reach out. I'm offering some sweet specials for weddings, elopements and lifestyle sessions for these areas.
