My Story
A love letter tofleeting moments
I picked up a camera to hold onto the things that slip away too fast — and never quite put it down. What began as a way to remember became a way to tell stories.
Today I document weddings, elopements, and portraits for people who care less about perfect poses and more about how a moment actually felt. My approach is unhurried and intuitive, rooted in natural light and genuine connection.
Based in Edmonton, Alberta, I’m happiest chasing prairie golden hour, collecting old film cameras, and traveling for sessions wherever your story takes us.
What Guides Me
My Philosophy
Honest Emotion
I shoot for the in-between — the unguarded laughter, the quiet glance. Real over posed, always.
Timeless Light
Warm, filmic tones designed to feel just as moving in fifty years as they do today.
A Calm Presence
I blend in, keep things easy, and let your day unfold. You'll forget the camera is even there.
