Marty and Liz are such a fun couple!  They were so comfortable with one another, pulling in tighter each time I asked them to sneak a kiss (which makes photos so much easier for me!).  I treasure every single couple that I have the honor of being […]

I’m a wedding and portrait photographer, and I’m also a disability advocate working to make the wedding industry more accessible, thoughtful, and welcoming. I believe love stories deserve to be told in spaces where care, dignity, and access are part of the experience - not an afterthought.

This work is deeply personal to me. I’m helping build an industry that’s ready for my daughter, Gabby - so that when it’s her turn to dream, celebrate, and be celebrated, the world is already open to her, just as she is.
