I'm a food and lifestyle photographer based in Virginia Beach who believes the best moments come when you least expect them. My work is rooted in connection—the way people gather, move, and share space—whether that's around a table, on a wedding day, or in the middle of an ordinary afternoon with family.

A Little More About Me

When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me cooking, traveling, or hosting one of my Makers Meals—a supper series that brings people together over food and conversation. I have a dream of one day running a shop filled with the best pantry staples, local produce, and tabletop items. And when it comes to setting the table, I can't help myself. I'll always go all in with linen napkins, perfect place settings, and a lineup of wine glasses. When you know how to set it right, you just can't not.

This is probably why I love weddings so much—they're the ultimate gathering. All that intention, all those details, all those people you love most in one room. It's my favorite kind of chaos to photograph.

What You Can Expect

After 13 years of photographing weddings and families, I've learned that the best images happen when people feel comfortable enough to forget I'm there. My approach is warm, unobtrusive, and focused on letting your day unfold naturally. I'm not going to over-pose you or make your wedding feel like a photoshoot. Instead, I'll guide you into flattering light, give you something to do with your hands, and then step back and let the real moments happen.

I work best with people who value authenticity over perfection. Who want their photos to feel like them. Who trust me to capture not just what their day looked like, but what it felt like.

At the heart of everything I do—whether I'm capturing a family, a brand, or a perfectly styled food image—is the belief that beauty lives in the details, and meaning lives in the moments you don't plan.
