I have always loved art and photography, and I have always loved weddings just as much. Growing up, I was the kid glued to the TV during every wedding and happily ever after on movies, and you could usually find me planning my pretend wedding on the playground (fun fact, I never grew out of the wedding planning. I treated wedding planning like an Olympic sport). And it wasn't until my senior year of high school, and being a member of my school's yearbook staff, that I realized just how much I loved documentary photography and wanted to combine both loves and pursue this as a career. I received my degree in 2016, and have been growing my business ever since.
We only have this one life to live, and we all share the same planet to call home. I try to lead an eco friendly lifestyle, to the best of my abilities. Additionally, I love everything mid century, especially my 1963 home, and regular visits to our local antique stores.
From May-October, you can usually find my husband and I at the local farmers market with our chow chow, Atlas. We love downtown Cape Girardeau for the variety of food and local businesses. Behind the scenes, we also have a black kitten named Winnie (she may or may not make a market appearance this year). Lastly, I come from a huge family and they're everything to me. I wouldn't be here without their love and support.
If there's anything I think about on a regular basis, it's weddings and where I'm going to travel to next. I got married in 2022, and still find myself on the wedding side of Tik Tok to get all the newest trends. As for my favorite places I've traveled to? I think that would be Santorini, anywhere in the PNW, Iceland, Ireland, and the French Riviera.
Outside of photography, I love tending to my houseplants, reading, baking, embroidery, antiquing, flower arranging, painting pottery at Creative Ewe, and - when time allows - playing Sims or A Little to the Left.
