I’m 32 today, wow that’s crazy to say!
I’m nowhere where I thought I would be at 32, but I sure am proud of where I am and I know I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I have the most wonderful people around me, I have a successful business, I’m living life the way I want to live it.
It took 32 years to truly love and accept myself for exactly who I am, but I can confidently say that I am there and I am more myself today than I have been in a very long time and it feels so good.
Not that anyone asked, but here’s some things I’ve learned in my 32 years:
Surround yourself with people who inspire and support you.
Do things that make you happy.
Sing as loud as possible in the car.
Laugh daily.
Make your coffee as sweet as you want.
Let people know you love them as much as possible.
Ski and bike a lot.
Eat good food.
Watch as many beachside sunsets as possible with your dogs.
Appreciate your body and all it does for you.
Find little things to be grateful for everyday.
Life is short. Spend it with people you love, doing the things you love. 🤍
2025… I’d be lying if I said I was sad to see you go.
When I look back at this year, I feel a lot of sadness. I spent much of this year barely surviving. The first five months I was drowning in my relationship, trying everything to make it work while slowing losing myself. Then I spent the next seven months trying to heal from the most painful breakup. Most of this year was spent behind a mask, trying to pretend I was happy, that I was ok.
But even in the darkness, there was so much light. I met so many wonderful people and made incredible new friendships. I became obsessed with mountain biking. I booked a dream backcountry ski trip. I spent time with people who love me and accept me exactly as I am, people who fill my cup. I traveled. My business reached a new level. I grew. I’m stronger, wiser, more independent, and I learned how to build a life I love—even when it meant doing it on my own. I poured into the people who truly matter and deepened those relationships. I found “me” again.
So while looking back on 2025 still makes me sad, I can also see the growth, the resilience, and the beauty that came from it. And that makes me truly excited for what’s ahead in 2026.
To everyone who helped keep me afloat this last year, I love you all. Thank you for loving me too🤍
These photos and videos are just a small glimpse at some of the things, people, and moments, that made me happiest this year.
When you book me to capture your wedding day, you’re not just booking a photographer — you’re gaining your number one hype girl (I’ll be gassing you up all day), your personal dress fluffer, your timeline wrangler, and your newest friend. I’ll be there fixing flyaways, calming nerves, holding bouquets, handing you tissues, and making sure you drink some water between all the magic. I’ll laugh with your bridal party, cry during your vows, and quietly capture the in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours.
Because my job isn’t just to take beautiful photos — it’s to help you slow down, breathe it all in, and truly feel your day. The soft morning light spilling through your getting-ready room, the way your hands shake when you see each other for the first time, the wild joy on the dance floor when it all sinks in — I’ll be there for it all.
Your story deserves to be remembered not just for how it looked, but for how it felt.
And to every couple who has trusted me to tell their story — thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for letting me be a part of something so sacred and real. And to all the love stories I haven’t yet had the honor of capturing — I can’t wait to meet you, celebrate you, and tell your story next. 🤍
