I’ve always been drawn to real moments — the ones that aren’t staged or overly perfect, but feel honest and full of life. Whether it’s the connection between people or the personality behind a brand, I love capturing the details that make something feel true to itself. That’s what led me into photography and content creation: telling stories that feel natural, not forced.

My work lives in two spaces that are deeply connected. I photograph families, couples, and individuals to preserve personal moments and emotion, and I also work with small businesses and creatives to build visual content that feels intentional, elevated, and aligned with their brand. At the heart of both is the same goal — creating images that feel like a reflection of who someone really is.

At home, life is full with my partner Travis, our three children, and our cocker spaniel who is always right in the middle of everything. I’m constantly inspired by the everyday — slow mornings, good food, thrifting for hidden treasures, and the rarely quiet rhythm of daily life. Wander & Wick is built on that balance: life in motion, and the light that helps preserve it.
