As the memory keeper, you feel the weight of time—you know life moves in seasons, each fleeting and irreplaceable.
Your life (and brand) is meant to be lived, felt, and remembered. Whether you’re a parent wanting to bottle up the chaos and love of family, a maker striving after a dream, or someone wanting to honor a life well-lived—photography and video give these moments a place to exist forever.
Images hold a moment in time. Video captures depth in motion. Together, they tell your whole story.
Stories move with the seasons—shifting, evolving, yet always connected to where they’ve been. I help capture the golden moments within these transitions, preserving the legacies of individuals, families, and brands.
Documentary aPPROACH
Authentic, unscripted, and timeless—portraits that capture you in your element.
More than a photo—this is a glimpse into who you are, where you thrive, and the legacy you leave behind.
Home Videos- Like those irreplaceable home videos from the 90's
Remember that big VHS camcorder your dad carried around. Those videos are pure gold. Don't let your kids childhood be stuck on your phone, limited to the vertical world.

Portraits that capture your environment—the places that shape you.
Honest storytelling through natural, unstaged moments.
As someone who constantly is looking toward the future, I believe that authentic, textured, and playful photos and videos of your life can serve as a way to relive the moments that fill you up or feel like home. Loss and hardship, and fear of being forgotten as a stay at home mom fuels my mission for you to be remembered.
Stay Golden,
