Hey friend — thanks so much for being here. 🤍 It really means the world that you’ve taken time to learn more about what I do and why I do it. First off — a little about the heart behind the lens.

I am a married 26-year-old who adores her husband, two precious kitties, and spending time with our families - especially the niece & nephews. 🥹 I love birria tacos & trying new fun flavors of sourdough at home with the hubby. That’s enough random facts about me though; onto the more important stuff. 😝

First Love Photography was born from a deep love for storytelling, connection, and all the little in-between moments that make life sweet. Whether it’s the way your toddler reaches for your hand, the quiet glance you share with your person, or the joy of launching a dream brand—I believe those moments deserve to be remembered just as they are.

I consider myself a documentary style photographer with a human heart that loves Jesus. The name “First Love” is inspired by 1 John 4:19 … “we love because He first loved us.” I aspire to share the love & joy He brings me every day through how I interact with others on a day-to-day basis. I like to think of myself as a storyteller who captures the fleeting moments - the laughter, the tears, the unexpected joys. My goal is for you to be able to transport back in time to those moments through creating photos that evoke emotion and connect us to the human experience.

I'm based in Bismarck, ND, (more than willing to travel) and I specialize in wedding, lifestyle, family, and couples photography with a documentary-inspired approach and true to life editing style (w/ a “dreamy touch” as I like to say). That means fewer stiff poses and more honest, joy-filled images that feel like you and the moment that was lived.

So if you're looking for someone who will cheer you on, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and capture your story with heart—I'd be honored.

I love to tell your story through my work—whether it’s a playful family shoot, a romantic couples’ session, or a milestone celebration. My goal is for you to feel fully present in the moment, soaking it all in, while I quietly capture the beauty of your connections.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”

Colossians 3:23

“There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”

1 Corinthians 12:4-6
