Capturing moments, preserving Memories
states I've visited
Photography has been a part of my life for over a decade, and throughout the years my style has naturally evolved into something that feels true to me; honest, nostalgic, and deeply rooted in storytelling. I'm drawn to the moments that can't be planned. The genuine laughter, quiet glances, and little interactions that often become the memories we cherish most. With warm tones, timeless edits, and a subtle vintage feel, I create images that feel less like traditional portraits and more like pieces of your story you'll want to revisit for years to come.
Hey! I'm so glad you're here!
If you had asked me a few years ago where life would take me, I never would have guessed I'd be living in Star, Idaho, married to my best friend, and balancing life between a camera and an airplane. It's busy, a little unpredictable, and exactly where I'm meant to be.
When I'm not documenting love stories and growing families, you'll usually find me 30,000 feet in the air working as a flight attendant. My career has taken me all over the world, deepening my appreciation for meaningful connection, new experiences, and the stories people carry with them.
I grew up in the coastal city of Santa Barbara, California, and later spent several years in Huntington Beach before making Star home. While my address has changed over the years, one thing never has, and thats my love for preserving the beauty of everyday moments.

For me, photography has never been about creating the perfect pose, it's about creating the space for real moments to unfold. I know being in front of a camera can feel intimidating, so my approach is relaxed, easygoing, and centered around helping you simply be yourselves. The best photos happen when you're focused on the people you love, not the camera in front of you.
When you choose to work with me, you're choosing someone who values connection over perfection and believes your story deserves to be told honestly. My hope is that years from now, your gallery won't just remind you of how everything looked—it will bring you back to exactly how it felt.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY SIMILE PHOTOGRAPHY
Why I do what I do; the heart behind my work.
What inspires me most are the candid moments! The unposed, in-between glimpses of real connection that tell the truest stories
II’ll gently guide you, but never over-pose you
Most of my clients tell me they’re “awkward in front of the camera”, and honestly, that’s perfect. I’ll give you just enough direction so you’re never wondering what to do, but leave plenty of space for things to unfold naturally.
I’m big on the little moments
The in-between stuff is everything to me, the quick glances, the way your kid grabs your hand, the laugh right after the “posed” photo. That’s the kind of magic I’m always looking for.
