WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO ME?

Quote in cursive font reading 'love is love black lives matter family is chosen equality for all' with alternating black and green text on a white background.

WHAT DO I EVEN DO?

i document real life as it’s happening, not stiff poses, not forced smiles, not moments that feel fake five years from now.
i show up, pay attention, and capture your day exactly as it unfolds.

think warm bread, not a five course production.
icing on fingers. crumbs on the table. something you want seconds of.

whether it’s your wedding day or a quiet season of life, i’m there for the parts that make it good. the unscripted. the lived in. the moments that linger.

you don’t need to worry about missing anything. i’ve got it covered from start to finish, so you can stay present and trust that it’s all being documented honestly.

based in pekin, illinois, i photograph weddings, maternity, families, and lifestyle sessions throughout central illinois, including peoria, morton, bloomington, normal, and springfield. if you’re searching for a documentary-style photographer in the central illinois area, you’re in the right place.

I also offer sessions centered around newborn, maternity, branding, boudoir, family, + milestones.

during the cold months - I have a studio in West Peoria that we can utilize for any type of session!
