YOUR LOVE,
YOUR STORY

All of these beautiful images of my babies and me were taken by Sarena Kaye with Nouvel Photo + Film

Knowing firsthand how special this moment is, and how nervous you may feel, my mission is to make you comfortable and be true to yourself. 

Whether you are having an intimate wedding in a backyard or an elopement on a mountain top, I’m ready with my camera. All my focus is on you. It’s all about raw emotions, having fun, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Born and raised in Little Rock, AR

​

I met my husband (Mason) at work in 2013. I made a reference to Firefly (the sci-fi show) and he asked me on a date. I married my wonderful husband October 30, 2016. We have two dogs and two black cats (because I am obsessed with black cats and all things Halloween).  We have three children: Evelyn, Marigold, and Malcolm. Being a mother is the absolute greatest (and most difficult) job in the world and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

I've worked every job from waitress to law clerk, but I knew I had to be in a creative field to be happy.

I started photography in 2015 working with a local photographer as her second-shooter. I absolutely fell in love with the art of it, the friendships I made with clients, the places I was able to travel-- everything that comes with it.

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO

I love what I do. I love it so so much and I hope every single client I work with feels it too. It’s not just the taking photos, it’s being with people. Capturing people at their purest, most authentic moments between the posed photos. I get to know these people and I’m invited into their lives, trusted with such an important task on one of the biggest events of their lifetime. Most of the time I’m treated like family and I have made real friends because of it. I genuinely am intrigued by each different, unique life experience.

I feel like every life I get to know makes me even fuller and it’s what keeps me grounded in reality and continuously eager for each new experience. It’s not just photos of wedding days or family pictures or newborn babies, it’s life. Each photo set is a different life and a different experience and I got to be invited into it. Even though it’s for a comparably short amount of time, I keep it all with me and cherish it.

MAY THIS BE THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP
