BEHIND
the LENS
I’m a born and raised Kentucky girl who loves to travel, pet dogs, read copious amounts of books and listen to the rain.
I work alongside my couples to craft images that are seamlessly editorial — brimming with genuine affection, breathtaking sceneries, and candid moments (with the direction they need to achieve the photos they want) I am endlessly inspired by shadows and fashion, and I view weddings as intricate, emotional events that continue to captivate me.
I had a VERY specific vision for how I wanted the eternal heirlooms of our wedding day to look. I stumbled across Sydney and it was love at first sight.

Sydney is truly one of the best there is! She is kind, funny, compassionate, and has a wicked eye behind the lens!

Our Style
I’m drawn to love and life in all their forms—but too often, couples’ imagery begins to blur together. The same poses. The same light. The same expected details.
There’s room for tradition, of course. An image that lives on the fridge still matters. But I’m more interested in balancing the familiar with something editorial—working across both digital and analog to create photographs that feel considered, distinctive, and alive.
Our Story
My path into photography began in high school through a required art course, and later deepened through an internship with a local editorial photographer. That early exposure shaped the way I learned to see—patiently, observantly, and with intention.
I began with portraiture, drawn to people and presence. As those around me started falling in love, my work naturally expanded into weddings
" Not only did our photos turn out more beautiful than we could have imagined she also just brought a presence that was so calming on our wedding day. Having her there and knowing how well she knew the schedule for the day took so much pressure off me as the bride and eased my anxiety"
