know me

Hello friend! One thing about me is I take the title of “your personal hype woman” very seriously. My clients can attest to the energy I bring to every session. My goal is for anybody in front of my camera to feel as comfortable and confident as they can. It’s the key to capturing authentic photos that feel like YOU.

I’m originally from Arkansas and I currently live in Illinois with my husband and 3 dogs. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was about 16. My hobby eventually grew into a business and I went full time with it in 2020. Nothing fills up my cup like taking photos. From drawing mood boards for sessions, to sourcing props, to spending intimate moments with my brides on weddings days, it’s truly a blessing to get to do what I love as my job. Outside of photography my hobbies include thrifting, reading, baking, weightlifting, and coffee. Welcome! Glad you’re here :)

    I can't recommend anyone more than Gabby- seriously!

    She was so understanding and flexible when I had to change plans several times. I don't know what I would've done without her. Truly a wonderful person and remarkable talent.
