Southwest Missouri Elopement Photographer | Alternative, INCLUSIVE, & Off-Kilter

DOCUMENTARY-STYLE MEETS FEVER DREAM.

The great philosopher Ferris Bueller once said, "Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive." Was he in a life or death situation? No, but it felt like it to him. Are you in a life or death situation? No, but do you feel the immense weight and decision-paralysis creeping in just scrolling through endless photographers that are sub-par and might maybe get you?

Right. The scroll stops now.

"The bold survive" is my entire approach to photography. Together, y'all and I are teaming up to create visual testaments to how fucking cool you are that'll stand the test of time. The bold, the robust, the wacky, the whimsy: THEY survive.

So if Father Bueller is speaking to you like how he spoke to me and you’ve got  zero interest in blending into the sea of forgettable wedding images: keep scrolling, I promise it'll be worth it.

SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW
FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER

ONLY THE MEEK GET PINCHED.

THE BOLD SURVIVE.

Do no harm. Take no shit. Eat your fruits n veggies. Raise hell. Live colorfully. Respect others. Love is love is love is love. Luigi Mangione is innocent. You deserve the best, most colorful, most unique wedding photos this side of the Mississippi. 

MY mantras + affirmations:

I am the one you seek. I am the funny little freak you've been scouring the internet for! I am the answer to all your unsolvable matrimony riddles! I am so passionate about providing a fun, inclusive, off-the-wall service because I couldn't find it myself!

TODAY

Radicalized by going to college, deconstructing Christianity, and experiencing my first heartbreak, I locked the fuck in on experimenting with my portraiture and, clearly, my makeup...

2024

Freshly orphaned, very poor, but gifted a camera for my 16th birthday, I felt like I now had a magical portal to expressing myself. I never put it down, and it was then that I became everyone's problem.

2018

I start planning the elopement of my dreams, but guess what? It's hard as FUCK to find a photographer who gets you + supports you + is also strange as hell. Something's gotta change! I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Congrats! You've reached the bottom of the page. You've made it this far, soooo I think we kinda know what this means. By now you know that I don't believe in Hallmark movie ass shit. I believe in you and your love. Two humans, getting the government involved despite it all!

You're not looking for a photographer, you're looking for someone who has a taste for your flavor of weird, and WOULDN'T YA KNOW IT! You've found her, once again, despite it all. So send the inquiry, stop the scrolling through the sea of unremarkable wedding photos that everyone else is salivating over, and go touch grass (and plan some more of your big day because I'll wanna hear all about it).

Let’s make this SHIT
