My approach blends candid storytelling with refined portraiture, ensuring that every meaningful glance, joyful tear, and carefully curated detail is included. I prioritize creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience so you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally.

Couples choose me not only for beautiful wedding photography, but for reliability, professionalism, and a personalized experience tailored to their vision. Whatever you’re planning, I bring consistency, creativity, and care to every wedding I photograph.

MORE OF YOU
LESS OF Me.

I 'm Summer- a wife and mother. I like lazy Saturday mornings with a cup of coffee. I prefer nights on the couch with my family, but also enjoy craft beers and apps in a swanky bar. I love being outdoors and I'm eternally grateful I get to experience all four seasons! I dig personal touches & homemade items over commercial goods. Admittedly, I also love shopping on Amazon Prime.
