MEET
I grew up in a small town in Michigan, where summers were spent on the lake, fall meant endless soccer games, and family time was everything. Looking back, those simple moments shaped who I am—someone who cherishes connection, adventure, and making memories that last.
​
In college, I studied public relations because I’ve always been a people person with a creative streak. Little did I know, those skills would be the foundation of my photography business—helping me connect with my clients in a real way and tell their stories in the most authentic, meaningful way possible. Plus, I love to laugh and have fun, so I promise we’ll keep things easygoing and natural during your session!
​
My love for photography started when I studied abroad in Ireland. While backpacking through Europe, I became completely hooked—captivated by the landscapes, the different cultures, and those little in-between moments that make life so special. That’s when I knew I wanted to do more than just take photos—I wanted to preserve stories in a way that lasts forever.
​
After college, I packed my bags and moved to Hawaii, where my photography career truly took off. I spent my days soaking up every bit of knowledge I could, refining my craft, and capturing some of the most breathtaking love stories in the dreamiest locations. Eventually, photography became my full-time career, and I was even honored with the title of top 10 wedding photographers on Hawaii Island.
​
Now, I’m based in North Carolina, photographing beautiful weddings and portraits across the Carolinas (but let’s be real—I’ll travel anywhere for a great love story!). When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me hanging out with my friends and family, out on the lake, hiking, planning fun events, playing pickleball, or laughing way too hard at a comedy show.
​
At the end of the day, my goal is simple—to capture your story in a way that feels so you and to create timeless images you’ll love forever. I’d love to connect and hear all about your big plans!

XOXO,
Aubrey
