Just a little bit about me…

and I can’t wait to get to know you!

I grew up in a small town of Idaho, were i was surrounded by beautiful sceneries that immediately led me to falling in love with the outdoors. Some of my favorite memories were visiting yellowstone each summer, hiking, camping, and fishing through my childhood.

I picked up picked my first camera over 10 years ago taking photos of nature, which eventually led me along the journey to elopements. I instantly fell in love with seeing couples make a wedding day that is meaningful to them while connecting with nature.

Not only am I a huge lover of being outside, but I’ve always been a crazy animal person. I’ve been a Certified Vet Tech for the past 6 years and absolutely love when couples bring their fur babies along!

I moved to Oregon 5 years ago, where I currently reside with my husband, dog, and cat. I love music, new food, traveling, camping, hiking, and video games.
