The Experience
This is a space you can feel comfortable in...
Think of our time together as a fun hangout where my camera just happens to be along for the ride. I'll guide you with gentle prompts that bring out those natural smiles and real connections - you know, the ones that make you look at a photo and say "That's SO us!"
Sometimes that means giving you a playful prompt that gets you laughing. Other times, it's stepping back quietly while you share a sweet moment. My job? Creating a comfortable space where you can relax, be yourselves, and let those picture-perfect moments unfold naturally.
Because the best photos? They happen when you're not worried about being "perfect" - you're just being perfectly you.
Tess did an amazing job with our wedding photos! We love how friendly and understanding she is. Very easy to get along with and does an amazing job behind the camera. She saw our vision and made it her own with hitting everything we were looking for in a photographer.

Telling Your story is what it's about!
Every smile, every tear, every burst of laughter - these aren't just photo opportunities. They're pieces of your story, and capturing them? That's what makes my heart sing.
You're looking for more than just pretty pictures. You want to remember exactly how it felt when he squeezed your hand during your first look, or how your whole family belly-laughed at dad's terrible jokes. Those real, heart-grabbing moments that make you... well, YOU.
Whether you're:
• Starting your marriage adventure
• Celebrating your senior year
• Capturing your growing family
• Or marking any of life's big moments
I'm here to help you hold onto these memories forever. Not just the big moments, but all those little in-between ones too - the ones that often become our favorite photos.
Ready to tell your story? I'd love to hear what moments you want to capture! ✨

My heart behind twelve9
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good." - Romans 12:9
This bible verse isn't just my business name - it's my life's compass. The entire 12th chapter of Romans speaks straight to my heart, reminding me that true love shows up in how we serve others.
For me, that love comes to life in two ways:
Through my camera, capturing the pure joy and genuine connections between my couples and families. And through mission work, where I get to share God's love in communities around the world.
Here's something special: Every session I photograph helps fund mission trips where I can serve others with my whole heart. So when you trust me to capture your memories, you're not just getting photos that tell your love story - you're helping write chapters in others' stories too.
It's a beautiful ripple effect: Your joy here creates joy somewhere else. And isn't that what sincere love is all about? ✨

Have somewhere else in mind?
I'm in love with planning adventures. Everytime a trip ends, I have to plan something to look forward to next!
I am very organized, unless it's with doing the laundry. That is just a chaotic mess in my house.
I have a t-shirt that says "Somewhere between Proverbs 31 and 90's rap" and it couldn't be more true for my life.
I have my passport in hand and I'm ready for whatever adventures come my way.
If you see me out in public, I almost always have my hydroflask with me. It's one of my favorite things!

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind -
