Answers

I have always had an interest in photography (and weddings!). As a child, I would spend hours flipping through old photo albums and spend Friday nights watching TLCs lineup of wedding shows. While having a career as a wedding photographer seems like a no-brainer for me, I have always had a deep love of movies and television, so I went to university to study filmmaking. I quickly learned video wasn't for me, but luckily the degree included some photography and it sparked as passion I hadn't originally considered!
Long story short: I discovered my love for photography in university.

After bugging my friends and family to photograph them for my various university projects, a friend of mine asked me to photograph her wedding in 2016. I told her no at first- way too much pressure. I eventually said yes and never looked back. I launched my wedding photography business in 2017 and have since photographed over 100 weddings.

I live in Detroit, Michigan, with my husband Vincent. I grew up in Windsor, Ontario, and moved to Detroit in 2023. 
The associate team is based in Windsor, Ontario.

Weddings and wedding clients are first priority but on a case by case basis, we also offer maternity, in-home lifestyle newborn, branding, events, and family photoshoots.
If I am personally not available to photograph your milestone, my associate team might be.


Yes! Beyond traveling in for just the wedding, I also offer packages to photograph the whole wedding weekend (Welcome Dinner, Rehearsal Dinner, you name it). I offer special pricing for destination weddings, inquire to learn more.
