the human behind the artistry

Newly married (eloped in 2021 and celebrated in front of family & friends in 2022). We excitedly purchased our first home & moved in just weeks before our first wedding ceremony, and I feel like that truly defines how much we love to live on the edge.

I've always been very interested in fashion– you can thank my mom for all the Project Runway seasons we watched religiously– which has translated not only into a appreciation for it but how I enjoy expressing myself when I can in my own life. Luxury fashion, vintage sourcing, you name it. My dream is to attend New York Fashion Week someday!

I absolutely consider myself a very untraditional person– forging my own path against the status quo. I'm weird and quirky, I laugh at pretty much everything, I cuss; I read & journal because I enjoy my quiet-introvert time yet enjoy meeting new people and can contribute to being the life of the party.

I absolutely adore film. It's nostalgic and makes my soul feel some kind of way. Film is such a moving and powerful medium I believe everyone should experience. It truly allows images come to life; it transports you back to a moment in time that emotionally tells you what was taking place. Film is slow, unpredictable and messy, but I think that's kinda the point.

I found myself curious about the definition of the word 'art' while on a walk one evening. Here's a  few definitions I found:

Art - an activity that is done to create something beautiful or to express important ideas or feelings; a visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of skill or imagination.

We know art as an expression of creativity, or, more specifically, as a creative outlook or job type. It's an abstract way we view the world and a way to express our own unique perspective. But I wondered to myself if art could be considered through the lens of love?

Personally I believe this can be true. Humans experiencing and expressing their love, feelings, and ideas through an intimate companionship. Although there may be general similarities across this experience– the idea that "opposites attract", finding your soulmate, high school sweethearts, invisible strings, etc.–but no human or relationship will ever have the exact human experience as you. And I find this quite extraordinary. 

My hope is to capture your love & the people you hold near and dear while allowing space to document the experience. That's what this is, isn't it? An experience. The creation of core memories, big and small, leading up to most incredible celebration of love!

I am honored to help document these organic, awe-inspiring moments for you. Come exactly as you are. All love is welcome here.
