Hey! Nice to meet ya and welcome to my little corner of the Interwebs. I'm so glad you're here.

With 17 years of experience bustling wedding dresses, pinning on boutonnières, and dancing my booty off at wedding receptions, cuddling babies, wrangling toddlers, and making senior boys ACTUALLY smile, I am here for it all.

Kate is so fun and down to earth! As soon as you meet her you feel like one of your best friends is photographing your most special life moments! Her sense of humor, organization, and professionality made my experience with her so amazing! I had so many family members that commented how smoothly and quick family pictures went on the wedding day! She was great and I’m so thankful I chose her to photograph my wedding day!
