I'm a photographer based in beautiful Sitka, Alaska, where the wild landscape and small town vibe inspire every session I take on. My heart is in capturing families and couples as their most authentic selves-laughing, exploring, connecting, and simply being who they are. I believe the best photos come from real moments, not perfect poses, and my goal is to create a space where you can relax, be yourselves, and let your story unfold. Whether it's the love between two people, the showcase of a high school senior, or the joy of a growing family, I'm here to preserve the moments that matter most.

Families were initially the reason I picked up my camera and start. As a teacher, I've always loved connecting with kids, watching their personalities shine, and seeing the way parents light up around them. Photography became my way of preserving those moments for my friends' families-the sweet, in-between glances, the real smiles, the tiny gestures of love that often go unnoticed. I was immediately hooked and ever since I've been capturing families' and couple's genuine connection, honest emotion, and beautiful, perfectly imperfect stories.
