Hello!

I’m glad you’re here -

Documenting people’s stories has always felt sacred to me, and every time I get to do it, it’s an honor. Whether we’ve worked together before, you’re checking me out for the first time, or you’re waiting for the right moment to reach out—I’m truly grateful for your time and consideration.

Comma began in 2022, but I’ve always had a camera in my hand in some way. Looking back, it’s comforting to know this is who I’ve always been, even if photography sometimes took a backseat to other things— cringy improv troupes, competitive dirt bike racing, and running a Tumblr page dedicated to The Neighbourhood (we all had our phases).

Before weddings, I spent years photographing local musicians and shows for a few small publications. What I loved most about that time—and what I bring into my work today—wasn’t just the music, but the way it brought strangers together in a real, unfiltered way. I’ve always believed life is about the little things, and what a little miracle it is when two strangers fall in love.

My goal as your photographer is to honor your story. That looks different for everyone, and I love getting to know my clients as we figure out exactly what that means for them.

My partner, Kyle and I! He’s my favorite person to do anything with, but especially travel and try new things. This was at my very first music festival Shaky Knees in Atlanta, GA
