I’m a North Carolina–based wedding and lifestyle photographer located in the Raleigh area. My love for photography started back in high school when my mom gave me my very first camera—and I haven’t put one down since.
I’ve always been drawn to the aesthetics of everyday life—the quiet details, the fleeting moments, the beauty that often goes unnoticed. Photography became my way of preserving those feelings and turning them into something tangible.
Some of my earliest inspiration came from sitting with my grandparents, flipping through their photo albums for hours. I was fascinated by the stories held in those images—the fashion, the emotion, the nostalgia. That’s where my love for vintage style and old film photography began, and it continues to shape the way I see and document the world today.
Now, I photograph weddings and life as they naturally unfold—creating images that feel timeless, emotional, and true to the moment. The kind of photos that don’t just capture how things looked, but how they felt!
My Story

And I loved photography so much that I decided to get a degree in it.
I graduated from the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University in 2020 with a concentration in photography and entrepreneurship. Attending art school opened up a whole new world for me as an artist. It's where I found my purpose in photography and the drive to make it a career.
