          I’m a wedding photographer based in Bentonville Arkansas, traveling worldwide to serve couples wherever their story unfolds.

My work is rooted in the belief that the most meaningful moments happen when you’re able to slow down and be present. More than anything, I want you to feel at peace on your wedding day — seen, supported, and free to be fully present. I'll offer gentle guidance when it matters, so you never have to wonder what to do.

          I approach every wedding with quiet confidence, genuine care, and a heart that longs to serve others well. My approach is rooted in presence, and care—allowing space for real moments to unfold while shaping a gallery that feels emotional, honest, and true to you.

         I’m a hopeful romantic with a deep love for storytelling, faith, and the beauty tucked inside ordinary moments. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by nostalgia — finding meaning in the small, tender pieces of life that often go unnoticed. To me, photography is more than art; it’s a calling. My faith shapes every part of my work, reminding me that each couple’s story is a reflection of God’s intentionality, gifts, and creativity.

arkansas based wedding photographer

              I approach each wedding as a complete story, not just a timeline of events. I’m there to notice the light, the mood, and the little moments that might otherwise slip by —  so your story lives on to be told and felt for many generations.

Refined Storytelling

Inspiration 03

              The best photos happen when you forget the camera’s even there. To me, being present on your wedding is where the beauty comes alive and flourishes.

Presence Over Performance

Inspiration 02

          They say wealth whispers, and I think the same is true in storytelling. I’m drawn to understated moments, clean composition, and the little things that make your day yours. A story doesn’t have to be loud to be memorable.

Quiet Luxury

Inspiration 01

My husband, Mark, captures video alongside me with the same reverence and heart. As a married team, we bring a unique perspective to your day — we understand marriage, connection, and the sacredness of these moments in a way that only two people who’ve lived it can.

We move together through your day like a single heartbeat, noticing the quiet moments that might otherwise slip away. Video is an optional add-on, and we only take a very limited number of weddings each year. If it’s something you’d like, just mention it when you reach out! We would love to serve you together!

              My approach is simple: be present, notice the small moments, and help couples feel at ease. I believe the best images come from real connection, not posed perfection. I’m not here to direct a performance — I’m here to capture what’s happening, the laughter, the quiet glances, the little moments you’ll want to remember. I’ll also guide you gently during portraits so nothing feels awkward or forced. My goal is to leave you with photos that you can feel, and photos that are true to your day.
