My Favorite Things.

The art of freezing a moment in time has always captivated my heart. I fell in love with looking at a photo and admiring God's wonders and the experiences He places in front of us. By learning the art of photography--playing around with different angles, compositions, lenses, poses, etc.--I've become obsessed with how the craft allows us to experience a single moment in a variety of ways, each telling a different story. It is a one-time investment that gives you the gift of a thousand emotions to cherish and relive for generations to come. 

To me, photography embraces everything for all that it is. It is not chasing perfection. It is capturing connection, emotion, and energy as authentically as possible. Photography is personal, and I take every stage of my client's experience as-so.

My goal is to create timeless, joyful imagery that captures your spirit and sentiment. There is no season or moment too small to photograph; your life’s moments are precious and deserve to be cherished for years to come through photographs.

What Inspires Me.

I am a huge believer in being of and exemplifying good character. The way one things, feels and behaves is fundamental in how we navigate the world, engage with others, act and make decisions, as well as what values we reinforce. Sure, it's easy to be kind to others who are just like you and easy to encourage others when you feel fullfilled. But how one encourages, accepts, and supports others who are different and share alternative opinions or beliefs is crucial in making the Earth a better place. 

I strive to always exemplify a welcoming heart and aim to be a joyful, accepting presence during my client's experience, as well as outside of my profession as a photographer. I want others to know that that are worthy and their value is not determining by what society says—it's rather the complete opposite of these societal messages and expectations. 

My personal values pour into the foundation of ELP. I value authenticity, encouragement, trustworthiness, joy, and creating a supportive environment for others to be who they were made to be—regardless of their background or if their beliefs are the same as mine.
